Dr. Peter Tandler is general manager at teambits GmbH since 2008. From 1997 to 2008 he was working for the Fraunhofer Integrated Publication and Information Systems Institute (IPSI) and Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (IGD) in Darmstadt as senior researcher in the area of computer-support cooperative work.
At teambits, he continues the work started at Fraunhofer on “digital moderationâ€, developing support for the facilitation of both small and large-scale meetings (i.e. 5 to 500 participants) to improve interactive meetings and exchange of knowledge. His research interests include computer-supported cooperative work, integration of virtual and physical environments, new forms of human-computer and team-computer interaction for roomware components (the integration of furniture with information technology), but also software architectures and frameworks, object and component technology, and design of programming languages.
He served as program committee member and reviewer for international conferences, workshops, and journals in the areas of software architectures for ubiquitous computing environments, collaboration in ubiquitous computing environments, and human-computer interaction.
Dr. Peter Tandler studied computer science at Technische Universität Darmstadt (TU Darmstadt) with education and psychology as additional subjects. In 2004 he received his PhD from TU Darmstadt for his work on application models and software infrastructure for roomware environments.
