Mr. Björn Löfstrand is a Senior Systems Architect and Distinguished Engineer at 4C Strategies. He has more than 30 years of experience in modelling and simulation (M&S) research, standards development and distributed simulation architectures for training, analysis and experimentation.

He advises defence organisations, industry and the wider M&S community on simulation architectures, interoperability and the development of simulation-based training systems. His work centres on applying and evolving NATO and international standards so that simulation systems are easier to design, federate and reuse.

Throughout his career, he has contributed to key M&S standards, including the High Level Architecture (HLA), the Federation Development and Execution Process (FEDEP) and its successor, the Distributed Simulation Engineering and Execution Process (DSEEP), and the NATO Education and Training Network Federation Object Model (NETN FOM). He has taken part in numerous NATO Modelling and Simulation Group (NMSG) technical activities, currently chairs MSG-223 on Federated Simulation, and serves as an NMSG Member-at-Large. He has published and presented more than 30 papers at international events, including I/ITSEC, ITEC, CAX Forum and the NMSG Symposium.

Mr. Löfstrand holds an M.Sc. in Computer Science from Linköping University, Sweden.
