Professor Dr. Jon Atle Gulla is professor of Information Systems at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim, Norway since 2002.  He received his MSc in 1988 and his PhD in 1993, both in Information Systems at the Norwegian Institute of Technology.  In his PhD thesis he used linguistic theories to generate user-tailored explanations of conceptual models and their executions.  Gulla also has a MSc in Linguistics from the University of Trondheim from 1995.  In 2003 he completed a MSc of Management (Sloan fellow) at London Business School with a thesis on strategic modeling and simulation of fast growing software companies.  Before accepting the professorship at NTNU he was the general manager of Elexir Sprachtechnologie, a Munich software company developing computational linguistics software for the search engine of Fast Search & Transfer.  He was a senior consultant and project manager in Norsk Hydro in Brussels from 1997 to 2000, focusing on large-scale SAP projects. As a research scientist with GMD (later Fraunhofer) in Darmstadt from 1996 to 1997, he worked on dialog models for information retrieval.

 

Gulla research focus is on semantic enterprise technologies and enterprise engineering.  He has a multi-disciplinary approach and works in close collaboration with industry.  His research includes intelligent text mining and information retrieval, ontologies and enterprise models, enterprise architectures and systems, and the Semantic Web.  His group develops innovative methods and tools for ontology engineering and ontology-driven semantic applications. An important part of his research is the evaluation of ontologies and their applications, as well as of business processes supported by enterprise business applications.

 

As part of his business activities professor Gulla has co-founded companies developing computational linguistics software, text mining tools, and business process reengineering tools for ERP-supported businesses.  He has cooperated with Norwegian and international companies in projects on the introduction of semantic technologies in industry.  Currently, he is sitting on the board of several software companies and is regularly giving talks to the business community.

 

As a professor at NTNU Professor Gulla has taken part in both national and international research projects, and he has numerous publications in international refereed journals and conferences. He is responsible for courses on information retrieval, text mining, semantic web, project management, and information systems engineering.  Central to all his lectures is the importance of models and semantics in future large-scale enterprise solutions.
