Kees van Hee
Kees Max van Hee(born 1946) is a Dutchcomputer scientist,and Emeritus Professor at theEindhoven University of Technology,known for his development of the process modelling toolExSpecT,and his seminal work onworkflow management.[1]
Biography
[edit]Van Hee studiedMathematicsandInformaticsatEindhoven University of Technology,where in 1978 he received his PhD cum laude with a thesis entitled "Bayesian control of Markov chains", under supervision ofJaap Wesselsand Fred W. Steutel.[2]
From 1985 to 2011, Van Hee was Professor of Information Systems at the Faculty for Mathematics and Informatics,Eindhoven University of Technology.He supervised 20 doctoral students,[3]among themJan L.G. Dietz(1987) andWil van der Aalst(1992).[2]
He was also research fellow of theEconometric Instituteat theErasmus University Rotterdam.[4]
From 1994 to 2004, Van Hee was also a director at Bakkenist Management Consultants, and after it was incorporated byDeloitte,at Deloitte.[5]
Throughout his career, much of his research, university teaching, and consultancy centered onbusiness process modeling,often with the aid ofPetri net-based modeling techniques.[6][7][8][9]
As Dean of the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer science at the Eindhoven University of Technology Van Hee had initiated an own investigation, asking among otherAndries BrouwerandGerard 't Hooftfor a second opinion, which led to the cancellation of the PhD graduation of Marcoen Cabbolet in 2008.[10]Afterwards a Committee for Scientific Integrity initially ruled that the Dean of the University and Deans of the Faculties had failed to apply the principle ofaudi alteram partemin the process,[11]but in the appeal case Van Hee and others were acquitted.[10]
In 2011 Van Hee was appointed Officer of theOrder of Orange-Nassaufor his exceptional contributions to science and society.[3]
