Christian Stary (2014)

Christian Stary (born September 17, 1960 in Vienna ) is an Austrian computer scientist and studied philosopher , psychologist and pedagogue . He works as a professor for business informatics and communication technology , who deals with human-centered design of socio-technical systems with special consideration of task-relevant knowledge.

Career

Christian Stary was born in 1960 as the son of an office worker in the healthcare sector and a carpenter in Vienna, went to school there and studied computer science at the Vienna University of Technology from 1978 to 1983 . From 1980 to 1984 he also studied philosophy , psychology and education at the University of Vienna . He graduated as a graduate engineer (Dipl.-Ing.) Under the supervision of Gunther King at the Vienna University of Technology at the Institute for Applied Computer Science (Head: Helmut Kerner ). He then worked at Bank Austria (at that time Zentralsparkasse and Kommerzialbank) and was trained as a banker during this time . From 1985 to 1989 he worked as a university assistant at the Vienna University of Technology (Institute for Information Systems - Distributed Databases and Artificial Intelligence ; Head: Erich Neuhold ) in teaching and research on distributed systems .

In his dissertation on the modeling of human-machine interaction at the interface between software, knowledge and usability engineering, he laid the interdisciplinary foundation for his habilitation (1993) in applied computer science on advanced methods of model-based interaction design at the Vienna University of Technology. During his time as an assistant or associate professor at the Institute for Information Systems at the Vienna University of Technology (now head: Georg Gottlob ) (1989–1995) he was also at Florida International University in Miami with a scholarship from the Max Kade Foundation New York before he was appointed full professor at the Johannes Kepler University Linz (Rector: Johannes Hengstschläger ) at the Institute for Information Systems (Institute Director: Lutz Jürgen Heinrich ) in 1995 .

At the University of Linz, he first developed the focus on communications engineering in the business informatics department and subsequently the competence center for knowledge management at the Faculty of Social and Economic Sciences (Dean: Helmut Schuster ) in order to create integrative socio-technical scope. In his leading positions at SOL (Society of Organizational Learning) and ICKM (International Council on Knowledge Management), he intensified these efforts methodically and technologically, as demonstrated by numerous collaborative research and development projects on human-centered digitization, especially in the areas of education and learning organization , Knowledge management, Industry 4.0, common good economy, process integration and emergent systems.

Act

Both in his research and in his academic teaching, Christian Stary assumes leadership responsibility and organizational development, trying to take current developments in the various areas of society into account in a timely manner. Because these require the use of knowledge. He deals in particular with the digital support of processes for knowledge acquisition, knowledge acquisition and knowledge development or knowledge generation. The responsible and reflective handling of knowledge is not only a key qualification for him, but also forms the prerequisite for becoming aware of contexts, for recognizing potential for change and finally for shaping socially relevant (re-) innovation. The following interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary questions are of particular interest to his research team and himself:

  • How can people and organizations be supported in learning processes with digital tools?

The goal of digital learning support is to empower or enable independent and independent organization of learning processes. In doing so, learning facilitators initiate the self-control of knowledge acquisition or knowledge development of learners and support their exploration processes in the sense of a learner-centered didactics (maths), both personally at the individual level and collectively at the organizational development level. Technological learning support is justified from a pedagogical point of view, with reform pedagogical elements playing a central role, since the focus here is on the personal responsibility and self-organization of learners.

  • Where do models take us when we have to act?

Models are omnipresent, whether as an individual user profile in social media or as a representation of organizational processes (business processes). Although models allow the targeted observation of certain sections of the world, they also decouple processes and structures from the human world. The reflective handling of modeling methods and languages ​​facilitates the awareness-raising in this regard when designing models and the associated scope for action. Christian Stary and his team are researching the (digitally supported) articulation of activity-relevant knowledge and its embedding in agile and resilient transformation processes. The focus is on open formats for explication and structure-laying techniques for the representation of knowledge. They allow transparent and comprehensible design for everyone involved, and thus knowledge-based forms of participation. These become more important as soon as models represent reference points for design and reflection processes, such as digital twins in Industry 4.0 applications.

In addition to pedagogically based learning support systems, research and development focus on value-based knowledge management systems for the integrative design of semantic business processes. The latter are viewed from the interaction or communication perspective in order to do justice to the dynamics of organizational developments in the sense of complex adaptive systems - emergence has the actors acting in systems as the primary point of reference. In addition to (inter) national projects, Christian Stary is responsible for several innovative (international) projects on the topics mentioned:
