Frank Bomarius graduated from the University of Kaiserslautern in Computer Science and Electrical Engineering in 1986 and he received his Ph.D. (Dr. rer. nat.) in Computer Science in 1991. He then worked in an ESPRIT 2 project at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence in the area of Multi-Agent Systems. In 1993 he became a team leader and software developer at Tecmath GmbH. Since 1996 he is department head and since 2000 deputy director of the Fraunhofer IESE.

Since beginning of 2004 he holds a professorship at the University of Applied Sciences in Kaiserslautern and teaches computer science in the department of Mechanical Engineering.

Since 1996 he is transferring continuous, goal-oriented software process improvement (SPI) programs to software organizations in different industrial sectors. He applies the Quality Improvement Paradigm (QIP), the Goal/Question/Metric (GQM) and the Experience Factory (EF) approach. He is doing applied research and technology transfer in the area of Learning Software Organizations (LSO) and introduces EF-based knowledge management into industrial software engineering settings. His major focus is on the successful integration of knowledge management with existing organizational structures and work processes, alignment with ongoing improvement programs as well as the technical integration of experience bases with an organization's infrastructure.

Dr. Bomarius has given numerous presentations at industrial as well as scientific workshops and seminars. He has 10 years of industrial experience and 15 years of experience in teaching and training of students as well as professionals.

Dr. Bomarius is serving as organizer, program chair and program committee member in national and international conferences and workshops in the area of software process improvement and knowledge management, such as SEKE, PROFES, CONQUEST, NetObjectDays, ICCBR and LSO.
