Tamás Dénes

He began his university studies at József Attila University (JATE) in 1972, which he completed at the evening department of ELTE. Meanwhile, from 1975, he worked as a research associate at the Institute of Management and Computer Science of Csepel Works, dealing with mathematical modeling of management systems and computer-aided decision-making.
By 1977, he had developed a five-level analysis model and method family called GRAF1, as well as its software system, which was later used to complete the structural analysis of numerous sociological and social psychological empirical studies. (This graph model already described the possibility of the QR code that would be realized decades later.)

From 1978 to 1991, as a senior research fellow at the Central Service Development Research Institute, he developed a social-level simulation system model of service use. In the meantime, he obtained patent protection for the SZÁMOLÓTÖMB and LAPTÁR mathematical and language skill development tool family, which was used by more than a hundred elementary schools in grades 2-6.

Between 1991 and 1999, he was a co-owner of the Romanian COMPEX Kft. and the Hungarian HU-COMPEX Bt. computer technology, information technology and electronics companies; they dealt with the export and import of computers and information security systems. – In 1995, he organized the BIZTONSÁGTECHNIKA'95 International Security Technology Conference and Exhibition at the Cultural Palace in Târgu Mureș.

From 1977, he worked as a scientific advisor and external collaborator at several research institutes of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences, then chose to pursue a freelance career in the intellectual field.

Between 1986 and 1989, he was a research methodology and computer technology consultant for the Department of Social Sciences and the Sociological Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

Since 1990, he has been an independent expert and consultant in IT security projects.

Between 2000 and 2020, he was a lecturer at the Budapest College of Communication and Business and its successor, Metropolitan University; he taught the subjects Research Methodology and Creativity Systems.

His research areas: systems theory, structural modeling and analysis of complex living (social) systems, theoretical and historical approaches to cryptology.

At the turn of the millennium, he created the vision of the INFOSANCE (INFOrmational renaisSANCE) era (society), which he co-authored with sociologist János Farkas and published in the volume The Theory of Human Society.
In 2014, as a generalization of the graph concept, he created the concept of the MsM graph and the Multistructural Theory based on it (see below), as a foundation for structural thinking.

Of his more than 200 publications, 16 are his own books and 2 are co-authored books.
