Biographical: Working language: English Short CV: Alexander E. Kostin received his BS degree in electrical engineering from Ryazan Radiotechnical Institute, Ryazan, Russia, a PhD in computer engineering from Moscow Engineering-Physical Institute (Technical University), Moscow, and a DSc degree in computer science from Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology (Technical University), Moscow. Up to 1995, he worked as Associate Professor and then as Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering at Moscow Institute of Electronic Technology. Since 1995, he has been working as Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Engineering of Eastern Mediterranean University, Famagusta, Cyprus. As a university professor, he prepared a variety of courses in computer science and computer engineering, including "Mathematical Foundations of Cybernetics", "System Simulation", "Systems Programming", "Computer Networks", "Network and Distributed Systems", “Internet Architecture and Protocols”. His research and professional interests include computer systems analysis, distributed systems and their modeling and simulation, Petri nets and their extensions, advanced simulation systems. He is an author or co-author of five textbooks for students, of over one hundred of other works, including papers in journals and conference proceedings, and surveys of computer science and computer engineering books in English and German languages. His biographical information is published in Marquis Who’s Who in the World, 23rd ed., 2006.
