Chair of Software Systems University of Tartu Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science Institute of Computer Science Chair of Software Systems The head of the Chair of Software Systems since the establishment of the chair in 1992 is professor Jüri Kiho Cand. Sc. from Moscow All-Union Research Institute for Scientific and Technical Information, 1973; main research areas: multi-editors, IT in organic chemistry.

At the chair there are four assoc. professors, one of them - Jaak Vilo - on part-time (0.5) basis: Helle Hein Ph.D. from Tartu University, 1993; main research areas: dynamical systems computational mechanics Ain Isotamm Cand. Sc. from Tallinn University of Technology, 1972;main research areas: compilers Jaak Vilo Ph.D. from University of Helsinki, 2002; main research areas: bioinformatics, data mining

Varmo Vene Ph.D. from University of Tartu, 2000; main research areas: semantics of programming languages, functional programming

three lecturers: Eno Tõnisson M.Sc. from University of Tartu, 1996; main research areas: computer-aided learning Anne Villems main research areas: e-learning Vambola Leping (since Sept. 2005) M.Sc. from University of Tartu, 1997; main research areas: IT control and synergy

three assistants two of them - Gunnar Nellis and Marina Issakova – on part-time (0.5) basis: Ahti Peder M.Sc. from University of Tartu, 2001; main research areas: combinatorics Gunnar Nellis B.Sc. from University of Tartu, 1997; main research areas: multimedia Marina Issakova M.Sc. from University of Tartu, 2003; main research areas: computer-aided learning

Scientific research work is distributed in a wide spectrum. Teaching work comprises all courses with code MTAT.03.nnn. The total number of yearly delivered courses is ~50. A number of them are taught by additionally employed specialists from outside the chair (incl. Master and PhD students at the Institute). The average age of the staff (01.09.2005) is about 43 years. At the Chair of Software Systems there are several additional employees (e.g. programmers). The head of the chair is unaware about employing those people as well as their activities and responsibilities.

Professor of Distributed Systems (elected in 2005) Eero Vainikko Ph.D. from University of Bergen, 1997; main research areas: parallel and scientific computing, computational GRID technology
