Jose M. Garrido is Professor of Computer Science in the Department of Computer Science, Kennesaw State University, Georgia. He holds a Ph.D. from George Mason University in Fairfax, Virginia, an M.S.C.S also from George Mason University, an M.Sc. from University of London, and a B.S. in Electrical Engineering from Universidad de Oriente, Venezuela.

Dr. Garrido's research interest is on: object-oriented modeling and simulation, multi-disciplinary computational modeling, formal specification of real-time systems, language design and processors, modeling systems performance, and software security. Dr. Garrido developed the Psim3, PsimJ, and PsimJ2 simulation packages for C++ and Java. He has recently developed the OOSimL, the Object Oriented Simulation Language (with partial support from NSF).

Dr. Garrido has published several papers in modeling and simulation, and on programming methods. He has also published six textbooks on objectoriented simulation and operating systems.
