Short CV
  I received my PhD in business informatics from the Vienna University of Technology in 2010. My PhD thesis focuses on the requirements management for B2B systems. Most parts of this thesis concentrates on my work within the UN/CEFACT (United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and Electronic Business) standardization group. I am currently employed as a researcher at the Institute for Software Technology and Interactive Systems (Electronic Commerce Group) at the Vienna University of Technology. My research interest focuses on eTourism, eCommerce and eMarketing.

  UN/CEFACT's Modeling Methodology
   
The UMM is one of my major research interests. It is a modeling approach for capturing collaborative business processes. The current version is defined as a UML profile. UMM is developed within UN/CEFACT.
