Zoltán Baracskai

He has been researching and teaching business decision-making at universities since the 1980s.

As a member of the IT group of the Sarajevo City Planning Office, he was a member of the organizing committee of the SYMOPIS conference of operations researchers for several years.

In 1988, as a visiting professor at the University of Minnesota, he became acquainted with the GURU expert system shell, and as a result, he and his development team created the so-called EEE framework. Until 1992, as a professor at the Institute of Economics at the University of Sarajevo, he taught engineering and economics students how to support business decisions with the EEE framework.

He has lived in Hungary since 1992. He first worked at the Management Training Institute of the then Budapest University of Economics (BKE) and then at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BME) as an associate professor. Building on his experience in the applicability of expert systems, he developed the Doctus expert system in the early 1990s, which was based on machine learning. Later, using a special algorithm, he incorporated reduction into Doctus in addition to inductive and deductive reasoning. Thus, a complex expert framework system was created from a simple expert system. With the help of this framework, he supports the preparation of business decisions and the transparency of decision-making processes in several domestic and foreign companies as a consultant and coach.

Since 2017, he has been a teacher and supervisor of the English-language SzEEDSM (Doctoral Program in Management of Széchenyi University) Doctoral School of Regional and Economic Sciences. His PhD students' research area is modeling the decision-maker's mindset.
