Biography: 

Rance Cleaveland is a professor of computer science.

His research focuses on the area of formal methods for desciption and analysis of concurrent and distributed systems. Specifically, Cleaveland's work includes processing algebra, temporal logic, analysis algorithms for finite-state systems, automatic verification tools, semantic models of system behavior, and operational semantics.

He is the executive and scientific director of the Fraunhofer USA Center for Experimental Software Engineering.

Cleaveland received his doctorate in computer science from Cornell University. Before coming to the University of Maryland, he was a member of the computer science faculty at the State University of New York at Stony Brook.
