Summary:

Danco P. Davcev received Electrical Engineer degree from University in Belgrade in 1972, his "Doctor – Ingenieur" degree in Computer Science from the University of Paris 11 - ORSAY (Paris, France) in 1975 and Ph.D. degree in Computer Science and Informatics from the University of Belgrade in 1981.
From 1984 - 1985 he was a Fulbright postdoctoral research scientist at the University of California, San Diego (USA). One of the most important studies during his stay at UCSD was "A Dynamic Voting Scheme in Distributed Systems", presented and published on the most prestigious conferences (1985) and Journal of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (1989). This work was established as regular topic for the Ph.D. program in Distributed Systems at many Universities in U.S.A. 
The first Multimedia research project, financially supported by the Ministry of Science of the Republic of Macedonia was started in 1988 and the Chairmen of that project was Dr. Danco Davcev. The next two projects ware started in 1991 and 1993. The last one was finished in 1996, so Dr. Danco Davcev (as a Chairman and researcher) was continuously active in this field 8 years. The results of these projects contributed to apply  advanced educational and learning technologies at our University. 
As a result of this research, Dr. Davcev with his research group published the book "Multimedia Systems" granted in May 1996 with a "Goce Delcev" national award for the best research achievements in 1995.
In 2001/2002 he was a Visiting Fulbright Research Professor at several Universities in USA working on Distance Education projects, cross-cultural educational programs, Augmented Reality systems and Multi-agent systems. He participated on several International conferences and gave several invited lectures and seminars.
He is currently a professor and head of Computer Science and Informatics He is also head of EU Open and Distance Learning Center at the University "Sts. Cyril & Methodius", Skopje (Macedonia). He has more than 300 research papers presented on International Conferences or published in International Journals in Computer Science and Informatics.
His research interests include Multimedia Databases and Collaborative Educational Systems, Spatio-temporal data and 3D objects, Intelligent Information Systems and Requirement Engineering,  Augmented and Virtual Reality Systems, Distributed  and Multi-agent systems, GRID, Cloud computing, Embedded and Wireless sensor systems. He is a Senior member of ACM and a Senior Member of IEEE.
