معرفی
Jörn Altmann is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Seoul National University's College of Engineering. With a publication history spanning over three decades from 1994 to 2025, he has established himself as a leading researcher in the economics of computing services, particularly focusing on cloud computing economics, software service platforms, and IT service ecosystems. He has served as editor for the GECON (Economics of Grids, Clouds, Systems, and Services) conference proceedings for multiple years, demonstrating his leadership in the field.
Altmann's research interests center on the economic aspects of computing infrastructure, with particular expertise in cloud federation models, resource allocation mechanisms, and the business dynamics of software service ecosystems. His work bridges technical computing concepts with economic theory, examining how market mechanisms can be applied to computing resource allocation. Recent research has expanded into cybersecurity economics, AI adoption frameworks, and knowledge management in distributed systems environments. His publications consistently explore the intersection of technology adoption patterns and economic incentives within computing ecosystems.
Analysis of his recent publications reveals a strong focus on cloud federation architectures, trust mechanisms in cybersecurity information sharing, and the economic modeling of value creation in distributed computing environments. His work demonstrates a methodological diversity, employing game theory, agent-based modeling, systematic literature reviews, and empirical analysis of industry dynamics, particularly in the Korean technology sector.
Altmann has collaborated extensively with researchers worldwide, with notable long-term collaborations with José Ángel Bañares, Omer F. Rana, Kurt Vanmechelen, and Korean researchers including Kibae Kim. His work has appeared in prestigious venues including Future Generation Computer Systems, IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, and the GECON conference series which he has helped shape through editorial leadership.
His research has practical implications for cloud service providers, enterprise IT strategy, and policy development in digital infrastructure. The consistent publication record and editorial leadership suggest active supervision of graduate students and research teams, though specific students are not documented in the provided publication records.
