Nicht alles was zählt, kann gezählt werden, und nicht alles was gezählt werden kann, zählt.
(Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.)
Albert Einstein (or maybe William Bruce Cameron?)

 

Stop the Numbers Game. Counting papers slows the rate of scientific progress.
Communications of the ACM  50(11): 19-21, Nov 2007.

We live in an age in which we are proud of thinking machines,
 but distrustful of people that try to think.

Short Bio

We hope from a scholar to tell something others have not seen, and he himself does not see very well.
(Daniel Innerarity).

Gonzalo Génova received in 1992 his MS degree in Telecommunication Engineering (Area of Telematics), from the School of Telecommunication Engineering, Polytechnic University of Madrid, Spain (Final project: Critical real-time systems in Ada. Execution-time measurement methodology). In 1996 he received his MS degree in Philosophy from the University of Navarre, Pamplona, Spain, with a work on semiotics and the logic of discovery in Charles S. Peirce (Final research: Charles S. Peirce: The logic of discovery), developed within the Group of Peirce Studies. From 1996 to 1999 he worked in the Data Processing Service at the University of Navarre, from its School of Engineering at San Sebastián, laboring mainly as analyst within the InforUnav Project (new Academic Management System for the University of Navarre). In 1999 he moved to the Carlos III University of Madrid, where he followed the Doctoral Program in Computer Engineering and in 2003 he received his PhD, with a work on the semantics of UML associations (PhD thesis: Interlacement of structural and dynamic aspects in UML associations). He is currently an Associate Professor of Software Engineering in the Department of Informatics at the Carlos III University of Madrid. His main research subjects, within the Information Engineering Group and in close cooperation with The Reuse Company, is modeling and modeling languages in software engineering, as well as requirements engineering.

Teaching

The task of the teacher is to create situations from which the student cannot escape without learning.
