New methods to engineer and seamlessly reconfigure time triggered Ethernet based systems during runtime based on the PROFINET IRT example

Dr.-Ing. Lukasz Wisniewski studied Informatics with the focus on data bases and computer networks at the Technical University Opole (Poland). Since 2008 he is employed at the Institute Industrial IT (inIT) of the OWL University of Applied Sciences. In 2014 he became a research group manager of the group computer networks with the focus on industrial communication systems. During his work at inIT he completed his doctorate (Dr.-Ing.) in a cooperative graduation with the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg (Germany). His research interests are in the area of internet of things, real-time communication protocols and heterogenous communication systems.
