Jesús Villadangos-Alonso is a lecturer at the Universidad Pública de Navarra (Spain). He is interested in the design of distributed algorithms in different scenarios, including wireless sensor networks and vehicular networks, and in the practical deployment of software engineering best practices following the CMMI model in small and medium enterprises.

He studied physics at the Universidad del País Vasco (Spain), and worked as a software engineer at CIM-Fabrik Hannover (Germany) and the Institut für Fertigungstechnik at Universität Hannover (Germany). He obtained his PhD in computer science at the Universidad Pública de Navarra (Spain), where he designed a distributed algorithm to resolve deadlocks under the OR resource request model. Jesús’ current research focuses on the integration of ontologies and distributed algorithms to adapt algorithm decisions to expert knowledge.

Additionally, Jesús is a SCAMPI Lead Appraiser candidate for the CMMI model, and his current activities center on the adoption of CMMI best practices in the software development management process at the Universidad Pública de Navarra.

He has authored 30 international publications and two patents, and participated in 15 projects supported by European, Spanish, and local administrations and enterprises.

He is member of the ACM and ISACA.
