Sebastian Altmeyer

Sebastian Altmeyer is a Professor holding the Chair for Embedded Systems at the Institute of Computer Science within the Faculty of Applied Computer Science at the University of Augsburg. He has been in this position since August 2019, following his role as Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam from September 2017 to July 2019.

Professor Altmeyer's research focuses on real-time systems and embedded computing, with particular expertise in multi-core architectures, cache analysis, scheduling algorithms, and response time analysis. His work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications in safety-critical systems. He leads research projects including ADMORPH EU H2020, Multi-Core Response Time Analysis (MRTA), Design of Hardware Transactional Memory for Embedded Systems, and several others focused on manycore architectures and embedded system design.

His extensive publication record demonstrates consistent contributions to the field of real-time systems, with recent work focusing on systematic evaluation techniques for real-time systems, multicore interference analysis, safety-critical edge robotics, and hardware transactional memory. His research shows a clear trajectory toward addressing the challenges of modern embedded systems with increasingly complex hardware architectures while maintaining real-time guarantees.

Professor Altmeyer leads the Chair for Embedded Systems team at the University of Augsburg, which includes Prof. Dr. Theo Ungerer, Petra Zettl, Dr.-Ing. Martin Frieb, and several other researchers. The team conducts research in areas including hardware transactional memory, manycore architectures, and real-time system analysis. Their work has practical applications in safety-critical systems where timing guarantees are essential.
