Uwe M. Borghoff (* 1959 ) is a German computer scientist and university professor . He is Vice President of the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich .

Live and act

Borghoff attended the Hertzhaimer-Gymnasium Trostberg from 1970 to 1979 . After completing his military service, he studied computer science with mathematics at the Technical University of Munich . In 1990 he received his doctorate there and in 1993 received his teaching qualification (habilitation) for the scientific subject of computer science.

In 1994 he moved to the Xerox Research Center Europe (now Naver Labs Europe) in Grenoble , France. At Xerox , he initially worked as a senior scientist and project manager, and most recently as head of the Coordination Technologies division. Together with his colleagues Jean-Marc-Andreoli, Boris Chidlovskii, Remo Pareschi and Jutta Willamowski, he invented the Constraint-Based Knowledge Brokers, a search engine architecture that was new at the time , which searches heterogeneous data sets and multilingual databases in equal measure and uses so-called signed feature constraints to establish cross-relationships with one another could. This basic technology was marketed by Xerox under the name Ask Once from around 1999 and was taken over by Documentum in 2004.

In 1998 he was appointed to the Faculty of Computer Science at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich . Since then he has held the C4 professorship for information management at the Institute for Software Technology. Between 2002 and 2004 he was dean of the faculty. Since 2004 he has been Vice President at the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich. At the institute he works a. with digital long-term archiving , i.e. the special challenges of electronic archiving over long periods of time. Methods of migration and emulation as well as the so-called computer museum approach are used here. In collaboration with John G. Zabolitzky and his team from the Vintage Computing Lab (formerly the Computermuseum München), he runs such a "museum" under the name datArena on the university campus.

Since 2008 he has been the founding director of the Campus Advanced Studies Center (CASC), the central scientific institution for academic further education at the university.

Since 2018, together with Jan-Hendrik Dietrich, he has headed the Center for Intelligence and Security Studies (CISS) and the Master in Intelligence and Security Studies (MISS) course jointly sponsored by the Federal University of Applied Sciences and the University of the Federal Armed Forces in Munich . To date, this is the only degree program in Germany that specializes in intelligence studies .
