Nanbor Wang, Ph.D.
Vice President, Middleware and Systems
Dr. Wang has bachelor's and master's degrees in Mineral and Petroleum Engineering from National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan. He received his M.S. and Ph.D. in Computer Science from Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri. As part of his doctoral research, Dr. Wang developed a QoS-enabled component middleware framework called CIAO, based on the CORBA Component model (CCM). Dr. Wang's research interests focus on software architecture for supporting systemic aspects in component-based middleware systems using meta-programming techniques and aspect-oriented approaches. He is also interested in other component/object-oriented programming approaches, dynamic configuration and reconfiguration of software system, as well as modeling and synthesizing large-scale applications.
Since joining Tech-X in 2003, Dr. Wang has been involved in innovative research and development of large-scale distributed and parallel computing infrastructures and services, as well as middle technologies for supporting mission-critical systems and applications. These technologies range from fault-tolerant and real-time CORBA, through emerging Data Distribution Service (DDS), grid services and technologies, and ontologies, as well as distributed and parallel programming frameworks.
