Werner Dilger

Werner Dilger (March 24, 1942 in Winterbach; July 17, 2007 in Chemnitz) was a German professor of computer science and held the chair for artificial intelligences at the Chemnitz. His last major area of research was the study of artificial immune systems.^[1]

Biography

Dilger studied Protestant theology and attended a basic study of mathematics. Then he turned to the computer science, the study of which he finished in Karlsruhe in 1974 as a computer scientist. At the University of Kaiserslautern received his doctorate and he qualified.

From 1989 to 1993 he was professor of applied computing at the EBS University of Business and Law Castle Reichartshausen. Between 1993 and 1997 he worked the Technical University of Chemnitz as professor of Artificial Intelligence.^[1]

He was involved in setting up data mining company Prudsys AG in 1998. Dilger chaired the supervisory board at Prudsys AG between 2002 and 2006.

He died in a swimming accident in June 2007.^[1]
