Mihály Bohus

After graduating from university, he became a research associate at József Attila University (JATE). He first worked on computer communications (formal specification of protocols, development work on networks). Together with his colleagues, he developed the JATE 55 terminal remote data processing system. From his research activities in this area, he prepared his doctoral dissertation entitled Simulation Investigation of Computer Network Protocols, which he defended in 1984. Later, he played a significant role in the creation and operation of the domestically developed X.25 national data network.

In 1986, he spent 4 months in Paris as a visiting researcher, where he worked on protocol specification tasks.

Since 1990, he has been an assistant professor at the Faculty of Natural Sciences and Informatics (TTIK) of the University of Szeged (SZTE), the legal successor of JATE, and has been the lead lecturer of the subject Computer Networks. Since 2001, he has led the Cisco Laboratory, where you can gain experience in the details of network construction practices. His subjects taught include: Machine Room Laboratory, PL/1 programming, Operating systems, Assembly programming, Architectures, Corporate information systems. Among the recognitions for his teaching work, he is most proud of the Aranykréta award he received from students. He also takes part in the application work (TEMPUS, Our Grandchildren Can See It, TÁMOP, TIOP).

He was one of the initiators and organizers of the Networkshop conference series initiated in Szeged in 1989. Over the years, this series has grown into one of the largest domestic conference series in the industry (while 80 people participated in 1989, 400 people participated in the XXI Networkshop in Veszprém in 2012).

He is one of those who have organized the annual meeting of lecturers and leaders of institutions teaching domestic computer science at a higher level in Szeged since 1995 (Szeged Tempus Workshop, SZTW).

Since 1997, he has been spending more and more of his free time working in the Informatics Collection (at that time, JATE accepted the computer collection previously stored in Algyő). Since 2002, he has been involved in the work of the Informatics History Museum Foundation (ITMA). At the age of 60, he received a Rector's Award for his activities, among other things.
He worked a lot on the establishment of the Szeged Information Technology History Exhibition (ITK) in 2012. He is a defining figure of ITMA.
