Jonathan
Bowen is Professor of Computing at South Bank University where he
heads the Centre for Applied Formal Methods. From 1995 to March
2000, Bowen was a lecturer at the Department of Computer Science,
University of Reading where he led the Formal Methods and Software
Engineering Group. Previously he was a senior researcher at the
Oxford University Computing Laboratory Programming Research Group
where he worked under the guidance of Sir Tony Hoare, FRS. Between
1979 and 1984 he worked at Imperial College, London as a research

Laboratory. He has been involved with the field of computing in
both industry (including Marconi Instruments, Logica and Silicon
Graphics Inc.) and academia since 1977. His interests include formal
methods, safety-critical systems, the Z notation, provably correct
systems, rapid prototyping using logic programming, decompilation,
hardware compilation, software/hardware co-design, the history of
computing and on-line museums. He holds an MA degree in Engineering
Science from Oxford University.
Bowen
won the 1994 IEE Charles Babbage Premium award and managed the ESPRIT
ProCoS-WG Working Group of 25 European partners (1993-1997) on Provably
Correct Systems. He has produced over 150 publications and ten books,

Cheju, Korea. During the summer of 1999 he was a Visiting Research
Fellow at the United Nations University International Institute
for Software Technology (UNU/IIST), Macau. In September 1999 he
was the Publicity Chair of the World Congress on Formal Methods
(FM'99, Toulouse, France), attracting over 500 delegates, the largest
formal methods conference ever held. He also produced two books
in 1999 on High-Integrity System Specification and Design and Industrial-Strength
Formal Methods in Practice, both in the Springer-Verlag Formal Approaches
to Computing and Information Technology (FACIT) series.
During
1999-2000 he guest edited two special issues of the Museum International
journal on Museums and the Internet. In the year 2000 he has served
on seven programme committees including a special issue on Dependable
Computing of the Theoretical Computer Science journal and as a Chair
of the ZB2000 International Conference of B and Z Users. He also
contributes an Internet column to the magazine New Heritage. He
joined the School of Computing, Information Systems and Mathematics
(SCISM) at South Bank University, London as Professor of Computing
in March 2000. During 2001 he received the Freedom of The Worshipful
Company of Information Technologists, the 100th Livery Company in
the City of London. In 2002, Bowen was elected Chair of the British
Computer Society FACS Specialist Group on Formal Aspects of Computer
Science and Fellow of the Royal Society for the encouragement of
the Arts, Manufactures and Commerce.
