Short curriculum vitae

Marco Zapletal received his PhD in business informatics from the Vienna University of Technology in 2009. Currently, he is a member of the Electronic Commerce Group at the Vienna University of Technology. Furthermore, during his first PhD year, he was employed as an Enterprise Architect at T-Mobile Austria. In 2006, he received the 1st price in the INiTS master thesis award. Furthermore, he was granted a Siemens scholarship for visiting TU Eindhoven in 2009. His research interests focus on electronic data interchange (EDI) and business-to-business electronic commerce (B2B), business process modeling, service-oriented architectures and the derivation of deployment artifacts (e.g. web service choreographies) from business process models. Marco has published over 20 publications in international journals and conferences. He chairs the Business Process Working Group (BPWG) within the United Nations Center for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business (UN/CEFACT) and co-authors the UN/CEFACT’s Modeling Methodology (UMM).
