Dag I.K. Sjøberg (born 24 January 1961) is a Norwegian computer scientist, software engineer, and politician. He is a professor of software engineering at the Institute for Informatics at the University of Oslo (UiO). From 2001 to 2008 he was Research Director at Simula Research Laboratory and established and headed the Department of Software Engineering, which was ranked as best in the world for the period 2004 - 2008 by the Journal of Systems and Software.
Life
Sjøberg took his master's degree in Computer Science (cand.scient.) at the University of Oslo in 1987, and a doctorate (PhD) in Computing Science at the University of Glasgow in 1993. From 1987 to 1990 he worked as a system developer and group leader at Statistics Norway (SSB).
In 1999, Sjøberg established the research group Industrial System Development (ISU) at the Institute for Informatics at the University of Oslo. The group researches how the development of IT systems can be made cost-effective and predictable, and has a industrial cooperation with companies such as Telenor and ABB. Here, Sjøberg has mainly worked with research methods and large-scale, realistics studies in system development.
Sjøberg has also been Deputy Chair of the Urban Development, Environment and Transport Committee for The Green Party in Nordstrand since 2016.
In 2002 Sjøberg was awarded The Simula Researcher of the Year Award by Managing Director Aslak Tveito.
