The core SE^2 team

Robert Karban (ESO) - Teamleader robert.karban@incose.org 
Robert Karban is Software Engineer at the European Southern Observatory (ESO), developing highly distributed real-time control systems for telescopes since 1996. His current main task is the modeling and development of interdisciplinary systems, in particular the control system of the E-ELT. His roles have varied from project manager to developer, including mentoring, standards development, and training courses. He has been a regular presenter at INCOSE, SPIE, and ICALEPCS conferences. Robert leads also the INCOSE Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) Challenge team on Telescope Modeling with SysML since 2007, providing practical applications of SysML in the astronomy domain, and contributes to the RTFs of the OMG. Robert Karban received his M.S. in computer science in 1990 from the Technical University of Vienna, Austria. Afterwards he worked several years in the Medical Engineering industry and developed in the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) embedded control software for accelerator control systems.
