Keith Short

Keith Short

I am an Architect in the Data and Modelling Group, Business Platform Division, working on modelling and repository technology for a next generation application platform. Prior to joining DMG, I was an Architect for the Enterprise Frameworks and Tools team in Visual Studio, responsible for the strategy and overall architecture of Microsoft’s design tools for enterprise scale distributed applications. I have been at Microsoft for twelve years and have also worked as an application architect for the Business Solution Division, and as an architect in the SQL Server Tools group.

My experience of application construction and application design tools spans a career of over thirty years. In 1984, working with Texas Instruments Inc., I was one of the original architects for the Information Engineering Facilitytm, now marketed as Advantage Gen by Computer Associates Inc., which was a seminal product in the area of model driven application development tools. I championed the evolution of development methods and technology into a number of areas including object oriented analysis and design, knowledge engineering, development process management, and business process re-engineering. I have lectured at conferences and seminars around the world, and was one of the original contributors to the design of UML 1.0. In 1994, for my contribution to development methods and tools, I was elected to the rank of Texas Instruments Fellow, a distinction held by fewer than 50 of the top technical people in the company.

In 1996, I was appointed Chief Technology Officer for the Texas Instrument’s Software Business where I was responsible for research and development, including the definition, planning and development of new products and new technology for the Group.

I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science from the University of Lancaster, UK, and a Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of East Anglia, UK. I am the author of many articles and papers on model driven development, including co-author of the book “Software Factories” which won a Software Magazine Jolt award during its year of publication in 2004.
