Udo Kannengiesser

Researcher


Biography

Dr. Kannengiesser is a researcher in the Software Engineering group within NICTA's Managing Complexity research theme. His current research focuses on modelling software development, engineering and business processes. He is a member of the Business Adaptation and Interoperation project.

Before joining NICTA, he was a research assistant at the Key Centre of Design Computing and Cognition (University of Sydney), where he also completed his PhD. His research was concerned with a number of areas related to design, including process models of design, situated design agents, optimisation and design teams. For his PhD, he developed an approach to interoperability in product development that complements conventional systems based on standard file formats such as ISO STEP. His approach is based on software agents that use their experience to exchange the product data in a format that can be understood by the individual design tools. He spent several months as a visiting scholar at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA).

He obtained the degree of Diplom-Ingenieur in mechanical engineering from the University of Karlsruhe (Germany). He undertook parts of this course at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure d'Arts et Métiers (ENSAM) in Aix-en-Provence (France), and at the Université de Toulouse - Le Mirail (France).
