Kurt Kosanke

Kurt Kosanke (born ca. 1945) is a German engineer, retired IBM manager, director of the AMICE Consortium and consultant, known for his work in the field of enterprise engineering, Enterprise integration and CIMOSA.[1]

Life and work

Kosanke obtained his Engineering degree from the Physikalisch Technische Lehranstalt in Lübeck, Germany, nowadays the Private Berufsfachschule PTL Wedel.

He started his career in research and development at IBM Deutschland in Böblingen working on the instrument development of optical printers and large-scale displays. In the 4 years at IBM USA he worked on production control, material logistics, and back in Germany focussed on manufacturing research and simulation. In 1984 Kosanke started participating in the ESPRIT AMICE project as IBM Deutschland representative, focussing on enterprise modelling and CIM Open Systems Architecture.

After IBM retirement Kosanke kept working as independent consultant, directed the AMICE project of the AMICE Consortium, and became Director of the CIMOSA Association.[1] Kosanke took part in the IFIP IFAC Task Force on Architectures for Enterprise Integration, and contributed to the development of GERAM.[2][3]

gollark: Seriously, NO comments on my media recommendations page?

gollark: You can, however, look at pictures on reddit.

gollark: It's £25 or so and never goes on sale, so no.

gollark: Wait, you could actually play Factorio and experience the difficulty in centrally coordinating production of everything with just 200ish items and machines which are deterministic and always do the same thing vs the several million (in different locations) items modern society will need to produce and... well, economies of scale, and nondeterminism, and local variation, and whatnot.

gollark: Why not play Central Planning Simulator 2020?
