Position: Director of GMD-IPSI Professor at Technische Hochschule Darmstadt
Current Research Base:
Prof Neuhold's primary research and development interests are in heterogeneous
interoperable database systems, object-oriented multimedia knowledge bases
and intelligent information retrieval. He also guides research and development
in user interfaces including virtual reality as well as integrated publication
and information systems with special emphasize on the cooperative group work
and the information mining in complex distributed systems. Further research
takes place in the field of artificial intelligence, expert systems and natural
language processing.
Experience in R&D:
Prof. Neuhold received his M.S. in Electronics and his Ph.D. degrees in
Mathematics and Computer Science at the University of Technology
Vienna, Austria, in 1963 and 1967, respectively.
From 1963 to 1972 he was a research scientist at the IBM Corporation in
Vienna
and the USA. There he was working on program languages, translators,
formal description techniques and operating systems. From 1972 to 1983
he was Professor of Computer Science, Chair of Application Software, at
the University of Stuttgart, FRG. His research field included
distributed databases and information systems, formal description
systems for presentation of complex software products as well as
software engineering.
In the years 1983 and 1984 he was Director of the Information
Management Laboratory and later of the Systems Software Laboratory at
Hewlett Packard, Palo Alto, USA. There he also worked in the areas of
distributed operation systems and communication systems.
From 1984 to 1986 he was Professor of Computer Science, University of
Technology
of Vienna, Institute for Applied Informatics and Systems Analysis. His
work included distributed databases, knowledge-based systems and
object-oriented approaches in these fields.
In 1986 he was appointed Director of the newly founded Institute for
Integrated Publication and Information Systems of the Gesellschaft fuer
Mathematik und Datenverarbeitung (The German National Research Center
for Computer Science) in Darmstadt, FRG.
Since 1989 he is Professor of Computer Science, Integrated Publication
and Information Systems, at the Technical University of Darmstadt,
FRG.
