Dag Johansen is a professor in the Department of Computer Science, University of Tromsų, Norway.

His research interest is distributed computer systems, currently focusing on pervasive distributed systems and implementations. In 1987, he co-founded the StormCast project, which constructed and deployed wide-area distributed sensor network systems in the Arctic for weather and pollution monitoring. StormCast was one of the pioneering distributed sensor networks, with one version alive on the Internet since February 1993 (weather.cs.uit.no).

Johansen was one of the chief architects on the TACOMA (Tromsų And COrnell Moving Agents) project, which he co-founded during his first sabbatical year at Cornell University in 1993/94. He was also visiting professor at Cornell in 1998/99.

Johansen is one of the chief architects on the Norwegian-US (University of Tromsų, Cornell University, and UC San Diego) WAIF project. This project investigates structuring techniques for future-generation extreme-scale distributed applications.

Johansen is currently heavily involved in the iAd project, a Norwegian Research Council supported Centre for Research-based Innovation (SFI).

In 1997, Johansen founded D.A.G. Labs with Norwegian students and colleagues from Cornell University. In April 2000, this company merged with Fast Search & Transfer. Johansen has been chief scientist, system architectures in FAST since then.

Johansen received his MSc and Doctor Sc degrees in Computer Science from the University of Tromsų.
