Short CV
Andreas Abecker studied
computer science and economics at the University of
Kaiserslautern (Germany),
and received the Diploma (master's degree, Dipl.-Inform.) in 1994. As a
freelancer, he did a study on data mining techniques for
credit risk evaluation at Swiss Bank Corporation, Basel.
In February
1995, he started to work with the German
Research Center
for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI GmbH
) in Kaiserslautern.
In the DFKI Intelligent Engineering Systems
department, he worked on knowledge representation (description logics,
constraints) and knowledge evolution (theory revision, data mining) issues in
the areas of technical configuration, production planning, and knowledge-based
scheduling.
Since 1996,
he was a member of the DFKI Knowledge
Management department . As a researcher in the KnowMore project
(Knowledge Management for Learning Organizations) and as project leader of the
DFKI part of the European (ESPRIT) KNOWNET
project (Knowledge Management with Intranet technologies), he investigated
organizational, methodological, and technological issues for building
Organizational Memories. Special emphasis is laid upon the integration of
collaboration and coordination technologies (groupware, workflow), document
management, and formal knowledge processing (ontologies and metadata for
conceptual information retrieval). Since July 2000, he was the Project Director
of the European R&D project
DECOR (Delivery of Context-Sensitive Organizational Knowledge).
In Spring
2003, Andreas Abecker moved to the Research
Center for Information
Technologies (Forschungszentrum Informatik - FZI)
at the University of Karlsruhe (TH) in order to take over the position of the
leader of the FZI Knowledge Management team (WIM - Wissensmanagement) which is
part of the FZI Information Process
Engineering (IPE) department. WIM is a part of a group of institutions
(FZI WIM, Ontoprise GmbH, and the AIFB KM
group at Karlsruhe University) led by Prof.
Rudi Studer doing world-wide renowned research in the area of Semantic Web
and ontology-enabled applications. Within FZI, he also coordinates the
Competence Center Business Software (Kompetenzzentrum Unternehmenssoftware am
FZI), a virtual organization constituted from the six FZI teams working on
Business Processes (BPEM), Databases (DBS), Production Data and Process
Management in Engineering (PDE), Program Structures (PROST), Software
Technology (SWT), and Knowledge Management (WIM).
In 2004, he
received a doctor’s degree in Applied Informatics (Dr. rer. pol., summa cum
laude) from the University of Karlsruhe (TH), with a thesis
about Business-Process Oriented Knowledge Management.
Andreas
Abecker wrote and co-authored more than 100 refereed publications
in Expert Systems and Knowledge Management, he initiated a workshop series on
AI and Organizational Memories (
KI-97 , ECAI-98
, IJCAI-99
, ECAI-00
, IJCAI-01
), serves as a reviewer for several journals such as IEEE Intelligent Systems,
IEEE Transactions on Knowledge and Data Engineering, Elsevier's Knowledge-Based
Systems Journal, or Springer's Knowledge and Information Systems Journal, and
gives/gave lectures on knowledge-based systems at the University of Karlsruhe, Berufsakademie Mosbach and Berufsakademie Karlsruhe, as well as the
Umwelt-Campus Birkenfeld. In Germany
as well as internationally, he pushed the development of the topics and
respective research communities in Business-Process
oriented Knowledge Management (2001 - …), Agent-Mediated
Knowledge Management (2004 - …) and, recently, Semantics for eGovernment (2006 - …).
Further, he currently acts as FZI’s W3C representative (ACR) and co-organizes
the Semantic Web Akademie
Karlsruhe.
Since he is
six years old, he practices as a dilettant :-) with more or less success
several kinds of sports (like apparatus gymnastics, jogging, squash, and
tennis) and does some honorary work for the gymnastic club in the village he
stems from, the Turnverein Bierbach 1905
e.V. In 2002, he was a member of the organization team of the German
National Championships in Short Distance Orienteering (
DKM-2002 ).
Research Interests
Knowledge Representation for Expert
Systems and Corporate Memories
- Maintenance of Declarative Knowledge: My main work in the DFKI
project VEGA was to investigate formally well-founded methods for the
evolution of declarative knowledge bases. This can be seen as a
cooperation of KB exploration and KB validation algorithms. The field of Theory
Refinement seems to be closely related. (1995-97).
- Configuration: Together with Holger Wache and Harald
Meyer auf'm Hofe, we investigate use of logic-based
knowledge-representation and inference to tackle the AI problem class
configuration. There remains a lot of work until we have well-founded and
efficient methods for real real-world conditions (1996-98).
- Constraints: I initiated and co-organized the 1. DFKI
Workshop on Constraint-Based Problem Solving (1996). More about the topic
can be found under the address of Harald Meyer auf'm Hofe
- Description Logics: As a student, I worked on
tailoring logic-based knowledge representation approaches to real-world
technical domains (DFKI projects ARC-TEC and TOOCON). This resulted in the
hybrid knowledge compilation laboratory COLAB. Especially, I implemented
parts of the TAXON terminological logic system (1990-94).
Machine Learning and Data Mining
- Data Mining Algorithms: I supervised a student work
(Karsten Schnittker) investigating improvements of the relational learning
algorithm RelGeninvented by Michael Sintek
(1996/97).
- Inductive Logic Programming: Together with Dr.
Knut Hinkelmann I supervised a diploma thesis (Elisabeth Daub) on
performance improvements for Inductive Logic Programming (1995/96).
- Genetic Algorithms: I did some work on the
GA-based Nearest-Neighbor-Classifier GIGA which was invented and
implemented by Matthias Fuchs
from the University
of Kaiserslautern
(1995/96).
- Document Analysis: in cooperation with the DFKI Department for Document Analysis and
Office Automation (Markus Junker) I investigated the use of machine
learning algorithms for text classification (1995-2000).
