Prof. Dr. Bernhard M?ller studied informatics and mathematics at the Technical 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 Munich and Cornell 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏. He holds an M.S. degree from Cornell and completed his doctorate and habilitation at TU Munich.

?

He has been involved in the project??CIP - Computer Aided, Intuition-Guided Programming?at TU Munich, where he worked on the design of the language CIP-L and of the transformation system CIP-S, as well as on the methodology of deductive design.

?

Since 1990 he has been Professor of Informatics at the 伟德国际_伟德国际1946$娱乐app游戏 of Augsburg.

?

He is a member of IFIP WG 2.1 on?Algorithmic Languages and Calculi?and of the informal international working group?RelMiCS - Relational Methods in Computer Science. From 1994-1998 he has been the coordinator of Esprit WG 8533?NADA - New Hardware Design Methods. Currently he is involved the DFG project?InopSys - Interoperable Calculi for System Modelling, performed together with M. Broy and T. Nipkow (TU Munich), W. Reif (U Augsburg) and M. Wirsing (LMU Munich).

?

His main interests lie in the formal description and derivation of systems, in particular using algebraic methods. To this end he is currently investigating the theory and applications of Modal Kleene Algebra, an extension of Kleene algebra with tests developed in collaboration with J. Desharnais (Quebec) and G. Struth (Munich).
