József Németh

He began his engineering career as an employee of the Telecommunications Research Institute (TKI), where he rose to the position of head of the scientific department between 1963 and 1980. He planned, organized and led pioneering developments.

In 1968, he prepared a system design and implementation study for the implementation of an experimental packet-switched computer network, modeled after the early American Arpanet, for which he received support from the National Technical Development Board (OMFB). The development of the basic software element of the system, the real-time/time-sharing operating system, began (1970-1973), the final implementation of which, under the product name TSM-10, took place on the Videoton ESUR R10 (CII/SEMS Mitra 15 license) computer. He purchased the licensing system, localized it and installed it himself in a wide range of French educational institutions. The system's development documentation was also used as a teaching aid. The software was also successfully marketed by Videoton. A company in the GDR developed a company management system using a 16-screen terminal. - Meanwhile, in 1975, he spent 6 months as a visiting researcher at the DSL Institute at Stanford University.

In parallel, he also managed software technology development, including the automated production of syntactic analyzers for translation programs. In the fall of 1975, the results of this were incorporated into the software system of the LM Ericsson company's AXE-10 center. This was followed by a nearly ten-year collaboration, until 1984, which he continued with his colleagues from TKI from 1981 with an excellent team of 15-20 people.

Immediately after the market launch of 10Mb/s Ethernet technology and the IBM PC personal computer, in 1982, he developed a plan for a distributed network operating system whose internal connections were provided by high-speed network technology, while providing the same service interface on each machine in the network.

In 1985, he and his colleagues founded the Accord Computer Design and Development Cooperative to implement, maintain and sell the S-CORE system. At the Instrument Industry Research Institute (MIKI), they developed an application for the system, distributed across 10 machines, which operated the remote monitoring system of the control room of the Budapest electrical network.
Accord was also awarded the opportunity to design and supply the computer network of the Honvéd Hospital as a subcontractor. However, the unexpected shutdown of the hospital investment in 1992 led to the company going bankrupt by 1996.

In 1995, he founded C+C Systems BT to take over the development of ERSI (USA) in Hungary. The task was to develop a system to control electronic product labels installed in stores from a central location, via a network and microwave antennas installed on the ceiling. Three Hungarian small businesses and a university department participated in the development.

Between 1996 and 1999, together with some former Accord colleagues, he carried out developments requiring special knowledge and expertise for domestic telecommunications companies (Hungarocom, Telmo, Siemens Telefongyár, TKI legal successor).

In 2000, he was asked by Siemens Telefongyár Rt. to set up and manage a 30-person software development department; he performed this task until the end of 2004.
Then, until 2010 (when he retired), he completed consulting and expert assignments related to Internet technologies.
