'''Janos Sztipanovits''' is an electrical engineer and computer scientist. He is the E. Bronson Ingram Distinguished Professor of Engineering at the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at [[Vanderbilt University]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Janos Sztipanovits|url=http://engineering.vanderbilt.edu/bio/janos-sztipanovits|accessdate=27 July 2016}}</ref> He is the founding director of the Institute for Software Integrated Systems at Vanderbilt.<ref>{{cite web|title=Institute Staff|url=http://www.isis.vanderbilt.edu/people|accessdate=27 July 2016}}</ref> He has been an external member of the [[Hungarian Academy of Sciences]] since 2010.<ref>{{cite web|title=MTA Members|url=http://mta.hu/koztestuleti_tagok?PersonId=22394|accessdate=27 July 2016}}</ref> Sztipanovits is a Fellow of the [[IEEE]]. He received the Medal for Exceptional Public Service from the Office of the Secretary for Defense in 2002 and the Air Force Meritorious Civilian Service Award Medal and a Citation in 2010.<ref>{{cite web|title=USAF Award|url=http://engineering.vanderbilt.edu/news/2010/sztipanovits-receives-air-force-meritorious-civilian-service-award-medal-for-defense-projects/|accessdate=27 July 2016}}</ref> Before moving to the United States to join the faculty of [[Vanderbilt University]] in 1983, he received a number of prestigious awards in Hungary, including the National Prize in 1985 <ref>{{cite web|title=Állami Díj|url=https://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Magyar_Népköztársaság_Állami_Díja |accessdate=27 July 2016}}</ref> and the Golden Ring of the Republic in 1982 for scientific and engineering achievements.

Sztipanovits led the research group that created a novel area in computer engineering called Model Integrated Computing (MIC)<ref>Sztipanovits, Karsai: "Model-integrated computing," IEEE Computer vol. 30, No. 4, 1997</ref> in the 90’s1990s well before other model-based approaches appeared in computer science.{{citation needed|date=September 2022}} MIC applies [[metamodeling]] to define [[domain-specific modeling]] languages and to automatically configure the corresponding domain-specific visual modeling environment. The domain models then are used to automatically generate and/or configure the software of the modeled system. MIC and its primary software tool called [[Generic Modeling Environment]] (GME,<ref>Ledeczi et al., "Composing domain-specific design environments," IEEE Computer vol. 34. No. 11, 2001</ref> a kind of [[MetaCASE tool]]) have been successfully applied to aerospaceembedded software,<ref>Karsai et al., "Model-integrated development of embedded software," Proceedings of the IEEE, vol. 91, No. 1, 2003</ref> car manufacturing <ref>Long et al., "Increasing Productivity at Saturn," IEEE Computer, volVol. 31, No. 8, 1998.</ref> and medical systems ,<ref>Mathe et al., "A Model-Integrated, Guideline-Driven, Clinical Decision-Support System," IEEE Software, vol 26, No. 4, 2009</ref> among many othersother areas.

Sztipanovits was one of the key promoters of a new research direction called [[Cyber-Physical SystemSystems]]s (CPS), thatwhich integrateintegrates physical systems with computational (‘cyber’"cyber") systems to provide novel capabilities.{{citation needed|date=September 2022}} He is the Principal Investigator of a substantial NSF ([[National Science Foundation]]) initiative to create a web portal called CPS Virtual Organization (CPS VO)<ref>{{cite web|title=Cyber-Physical Systems Virtual Organization|url=http://cps-vo.org/|accessdate=27 July 2016}}</ref> with the goal of facilitating interaction and information exchange among CPS researchers in academia, government and industry across a broad range of institutions, programs, disciplines and even countries.
