Simon Schuster

Simon Schuster is a researcher and lecturer affiliated with the Department of Computer Science 4 (System Software) at FAU Erlangen-Nürnberg. His work focuses on real-time systems, embedded systems, and timing analysis, with a particular emphasis on control-flow monitoring and soft-error mitigation techniques.

• Teaching: Led exercises for courses including "Verlässliche Echtzeitsysteme" (2017-2023) and "Konzepte von Betriebssystemkomponenten" (2021).
• Research: Specializes in worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis, system-aware timing verification, and reliability in real-time operating systems.
• Publications: Has authored key works since 2017, including collaborations on AORTA and KESO frameworks for system verification.
• Conference Involvement: Served as a secondary reviewer for RTAS, RTSS, EMSOFT, and other leading real-time systems conferences (2018-2022).

His research has been presented at international venues including RTAS, ECRTS-WiP, and EMSOFT. The latest work (2021) introduces context-aware WCET analysis methods with potential applications in embedded system verification.

Advising: Supervised final theses on RISC-V architecture extensions and trace-based timing analysis. Collaborates frequently with Wolfgang Schröder-Preikschat, Peter Ulbrich, and Peter Wägemann.
