CV
Birger Møller-Pedersen has worked with object orientation dating back to the seventies, engaged in various implementations of Simula and involved in the design of the BETA programming language (with Kristen Nygaard, Ole Lehrmann Madsen and Bent Bruun Kristensen).
Together with Dag Belsnes he defined the first object oriented extension of SDL, and from 1989 he was involved in the standardization of this within ITU together with Øystein Haugen, leading to SDL-92. For this work they received the Telenor Nordic Research Prize (extra prize) in 1997. Later he was responsible for the Recommendation Z.109 on the combined use of UML and SDL, and for the SDL-2000 version he was responsible for introducing hierarchical state machines into SDL.
From 1995 until 1997 he was involved with the national research and technology transfer project SISU that resulted in a methodology for engineering real time systems.
From 1997 to 1998 he worked at Telenor R&D on the application of Java technology to network management.
From 1998 to 2004 he was with Ericsson, working as senior researcher, participating in the development of the next generation of UML (Unified Modeling Language) – UML2.0 within OMG (Object Management Group), working especially with structured classes and with responsibility for state machines and templates.
