Zsuzsa Farkas

Diplomája megszerzése után, 1974-től majdnem 30 évig Dömölki Bálint vezetése alatt dolgozott, először az Infelor Rendszertechnikai Vállalatnál. 1974-től 1977-ig a Számítástechnikai Kutató Intézetben (Számki), majd 1990-ig a Számítástechnikai Koordinációs Intézetben (SZKI) kezdetben logikai-alapú szoftvermodellezéssel, illetve egy ehhez illeszkedő rendszer kifejlesztésével foglalkozott. 1983-1990 között a Szeredi Péter által vezetett MProlog fejlesztő csoport tagja; fő feladata az Mprolog fejlesztés támogató moduljának elkészítése és gondozása volt.

Between 1990 and 2003, he worked at IQSOFT Informatikai Zrt. Until 1992, he led the development of the MProlog-based ZEXPERT expert framework for Bank Austria; several internally developed applications of the bank were built based on the framework.
Between 1992 and 2000, he participated as a collaborator and leader in several EU-funded projects, where the goal was to put theoretical knowledge into practice. Among these, the Adoore project initiated the object-oriented software modeling that later became the basis for the development of the software developed for Westel, one of the predecessors of Magyar Telekom (and which worked for a long time at Telekom). In the Szibilla system developed for the National Bank, he created a logic-based knowledge server by integrating the logic-based and object-oriented paradigms. In 2000, he was the proposer of the SILK project, which dealt with semantic integration and was won by IQSOFT in the EU FP5-IST tender, and then he was the international coordinator of the project until the tender was won.

From 1996, for eight years, he was a project manager and senior associate of clinical research support applications developed by IQSOFT and later Alerant for the pharmaceutical company AstraZeneca (these applications were used by the company in more than forty countries).

Since 2003, he has been an employee of Alerant Informatikai Zrt. Since 2007, he has led the development and implementation of Magyar Telekom's model-based testing methodology as the head of an Alerant team, and then participated in its application as a test manager.
Since 2007, as a retired employee of Alerant, he has been involved in application development for the Dutch bank ING.

He has presented at numerous conferences and published several articles. In the meantime, he has given Prolog courses and testing methodology lectures in several places (e.g. in Cuba).

Awards: Gyula Farkas Prize (Bolyai János Mathematical Society, BJMT, 1983); State Prize (shared, 1988); KFKI Prize (Central Physical Research Institute, 2002).
