Professor
Gruhn is chairman of the supervisory board and co-founder of Adesso.
He is also a professor at the computer science department of the University
of Dortmund. He is head of research group of 7 PhD students and research
assistants. The focus of this group is the support of software processes
in distributed and highly evolution-based circumstances. From 1994
to 1996 Volker Gruhn was chief technical officer at LION, a medium
sized software house with 400 employees. In this position he was responsible
for software development, quality management and the mainframe computing
centre of LION. He was chief designer of the workflow management environment
LEU and he was responsible for several software systems developed
with LEU. The most important of these systems is a system supporting
all business processes from the area of housing construction and administration.
This system, called WIS, is one of the three leading systems in the
German market. The development budget for WIS was about 16 million
ECU.

Beckmann received a diploma degree from department of computer science
of the University of Dortmund in 1992. Since then he participated
in several software development projects. Since 1997 Werner Beckmann
managed several development projects. Customers of these projects
were Internet Service Providers, international training and education
companies. His current interests are in distributed EJB architectures
and business models for their operation. Werner Beckman is team leader
of an EJB development team. As such he is responsible for development
