Benkt Wangler is professor emeritus in Information Systems Engineering at the School of Humanities and Informatics at University of Skövde. He was previously professor of Computer and Systems Sciences at the Department of Computer and Systems Sciences at Stockholm University and KTH. Before that he was the leader of the Information Systems Group at the Swedish Institute for Systems Development (SISU) for many years. Prior to this, he was a consultant analyst and lecturer to Sperry AB (now Unisys) in Sweden, in the areas of databases and systems development. He was graduated with a fil.mag. in Mathematics and Physics at Stockholm University in 1970 and received a PhD in Computer and Systems Sciences in 1993 from the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm.
During the years 1989 - 1999 Wangler was heavily involved in the preparation and leadership of many EU projects. He has been actively participating in the EU research projects TEMPORA (E2469), ORES (E7224), NATURE (E6353), MILORD (A2024), HOD (EP20620) and HyperBank. He has also been managing the Swedish part of the European ESPITI training program on software process assessment and improvement. Wangler has been involved in preparing proposals for research projects in information systems technology on a national as well as an international level. Among those projects may be mentioned: ESPRIT projects NATURE, LYNX (E6816), ORES, HyperBank, and the AIM project MILORD. He has also acted as a referee of proposals for the ESPRIT-4 LTR and ESSI programs and at present the networks of excellence Interop and Service-Oriented Computing.
Since 2001 Wangler has been involved with health informatics. 2002 - 2005 he was responsible for the national research project “VITA Nova” (Vårdens IT-arktitektur i Ny belysning) and prior to this of the ProcessBroker (A Process Broker Approach to Systems Integration) project. These are projects with a great deal of industrial involvement that concerns creation, application and evaluation of methodology and tools for integrating systems across business processes.
Areas of interest focus around the use of IT for the supply of information in organisations and include information systems development methodology in particular conceptual modeling, requirements engineering, database design (including data warehousing and related technologies), decentralized systems and cross-organizational-border cooperation and coordination.
Wangler was the program chair of CAiSE 2000, the 12th Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering, and the organising chair of the 4th and 14th European-Japanese Conference on Information Modelling and Knowledge Bases and has been a program committee member of numerous conferences including the CAiSE’93 – ‘03; CISMOD’95; WITS’95 and '98; BalticDB’96 and '98; ADBIS’95 - '99 conferences. He has also served as a reviewer of contributions for several well-known journals, including Information Systems, Requirements Engineering Journal, Journal of Information Systems and Journal of Intelligent and Cooperative Information Systems.
