Siegfried Cramer (born March 13, 1935 in Hohenmölsen ) is a German engineer and retired professor for information processing / process control at the Technical University of Dresden .

Live and act

Siegfried Cramer studied from 1953 to 1959 at the University of Electrical Engineering (HfE) in Ilmenau , specializing in control engineering at the low-voltage engineering faculty . From 1958 to 1960 he worked as a partial assistant and scientific assistant in setting up the Institute for Control Engineering at the HfE.

In 1960 he took up additional studies at the Moscow University of Power Engineering (MEI), which was followed by an apprenticeship at the Faculty of Automation and Computer Engineering with Jakov S. Zypkin. There he received his doctorate in 1965 as Dr.-Ing. with the topic of extreme value control of a rectification process .

He then worked as a research assistant at the Institute for Automatic Control (Head Karl Reinisch ) at the TH Ilmenau in teaching and research in cooperation with industry on adaptive control systems.

In 1968 he switched to the Institute for Data Processing (idv) Dresden, from 1969 part of the large research center (GFZ) of the VEB Kombinat Robotron (head of Gerhard Merkel ), where he worked as project, group and department manager for the use of process computers in the paper industry and in Mechanical engineering was active.

In 1971 he was appointed professor with the chair for information processing / process control at the newly founded engineering college Dresden (IHD) , where he also held the position of vice-rector for natural science and technology until 1981. With the incorporation of the IHD into the computer science center of the Technical University of Dresden (TUD) in 1987 he was appointed full professor with a chair for information processing / process control at the TUD. During his university career until 1992 he carried out teaching and research work in cooperation with industry and university partners in Leningrad and Budapest on problems of computer-aided system control, process analysis, computer-aided design of distributed control systems and quality control. At the same time, he was active in various scientific committees in industry and in the Ministry of Higher and Technical Schools of the GDR (MHF), such as B. in the information processing advisory board of the MHF.

After 1990 he qualified as a quality engineer DGQ and as a specialist auditor TÜV . In 1992 he left the TUD at his own request. From 1993 to 1994 he was a division manager at TEDATA Ost GmbH, responsible for computer-aided quality management systems. From 1995 he worked as a freelancer and advised  companies in Germany and, with the involvement of Russian colleagues, companies in Russia , Ukraine and Belarus - on the development of quality management systems according to ISO 9000 . In addition, from 1997 to 1999 he was significantly involved in setting up the independent Russian certification body ACERT-Bureau in St. Petersburg , which was accredited by the TGA in Germany in 2000 .

In 2004 he retired.
