Silvia Miksch
CV / Current Position
I studied Information Systems (Economic Computer Science) at the University of Vienna and the Vienna University of Technology
with concentration on Applied Statistics and Artificial Intelligence. I
received my master of Social and Economic Science from the University
of Vienna in 1987 and my Ph.D. in 1990. Afterwards I joined the Knowledge-Based Systems Group at the Austrian Research Institute for Artificial Intelligence (OFAI) , as scientific researcher. I was a Postdoctoral Fellow within the Adaptive Intelligent Systems group of the Knowledge Systems Laboratory which in turn is part of the Computer Science Department at Stanford University CA, USA (August 1995 - August 1996, FWF-Erwin Schrödinger post-graduate fellowship). In October 1996, I joined the Institute of Software Technology and Interactive Systems (ISIS), Vienna University of Technology . From November 1999 to Febuary 2006, I was Associate Professor. Since March 2006, I am full University Professor at the Department of Information & Knowledge Engineering, Danube-University Krems.
From April to September 2001 I was Visiting/Guest Professor at the Department of Simulation and Graphics, Faculty of Computer Science (FIN), Otto-von-Guericke University Magdeburg. From October 2001 to January 2002 I was Visiting/Guest Professor at the Johannes Kepler University Linz.
From 1997 to 2006 I was chair of the Austrian Society for Artificial Intelligence
(ÖGAI) and from 1998 to 2002 I was member (and vice-chair) of the board of
the European Coordinating Committee for Artificial Intelligence (ECCAI) .
