Introduction

The complexity of digital systems on all scales is my research field. Cyber Infrastructure is rapidly evolving from relatively simple fixed components to programmable and virtualized objects with many degrees of freedom, owned, operated and governed by different entities in multiple administrative domains interacting on the Internet. Security and sovereignty in the digital world are enormously under pressure. Participation in the digital world in a transparent trust-able way for safe and secure data processing is a major research topic that nowadays defines my interest and activities.

Although I am retired I support and engage in several international initiatives in Cyber Infrastructure development and am part of international advisory boards. At the UvA I am guest member of the Multiscale Networked Systems (MNS), Complex Cyber Infrastructure (CCI) and Parallel Computing Systems (PCS) research groups that were spawn from my former System and Network Engineering (SNE) research group.
