Medvidović served as Chair of ACM SIGSOFT[4] and Editor-in-Chief of IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering (TSE). He received Distinguished Service Awards from ACM SIGSOFT (2020)[5] and IEEE TCSE (2026)[6].

Medvidović co-authored the textbook Software Architecture: Foundations, Theory, and Practice (2009). In 2008, he received the Most Influential Paper Award for a paper titled "Architecture-Based Runtime Software Evolution"[7] published in the 1998 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering (ICSE).[8] In 2020, he received the Most Influential Paper Award for a paper titled "An architectural style for solving computationally intensive problems on large networks"[9] published in the 2007 ACM/IEEE International Conference on Software Engineering for Adaptive and Self-Managing Systems (SEAMS).[10][11] In 2025, his paper titled "A Classification and Comparison Framework for Software Architecture Description Languages", published in 2000 in IEEE TSE, was named a TSE Most Influential Paper[12]. In 2017 and 2018, Medvidović received back-to-back Best Paper Awards[13] from the IEEE International Conference on Software Architecture (ICSA) for his papers titled "Continuous Analysis of Collaborative Design"[14] and ''An Empirical Study of Architectural Decay in Open-Source Software"[15]. In 2017, his paper titled "SEALANT: A Detection and Visualization Tool for Inter-app Security Vulnerabilities in Android" received the Best Tool Paper Award at the IEEE/ACM International Conference on Automated Software Engineering (ASE)[16].

Medvidović received a PhD from UC Irvine in 1999.[17]
