Stephen W. Liddle

Director

Rollins Center for eBusiness

Dr. Stephen W. Liddle is currently Director of the Kevin and Debra Rollins Center for eBusiness at Brigham Young University and Associate Professor of Information Systems at the Marriott School of Management, where he holds the Grant and David Fellowship. Dr. Liddle teaches information architecture, web development, and other topics related to the practical application of computer systems, conceptual modeling, and e-business.

Liddle has been a member of BYU’s business school faculty since 1995, when he received his PhD in Computer Science from BYU. His dissertation dealt with the topic of executable conceptual models, laying some of the groundwork for current efforts in model-driven development and model-driven architecture. Liddle has been active in the conceptual modeling community since the early 1990’s, and he currently serves as a member of the steering committee for the International Conference on Conceptual Modeling (the ER Conference). Liddle’s research interests include conceptual modeling, software engineering environments and tools, data extraction, information retrieval, multiparadigm software development environments and tools, and e-business. He is particularly interested in applications of conceptual modeling, such as the use of ontologies in data extraction.

His work has appeared in journals such as Data and Knowledge Engineering and the Annals of Operations Research, and in respected conferences such as the ER Conference and the Conference on Information and Knowledge Management, among others. Besides authoring or co-authoring more than 30 refereed academic papers, Liddle is editor of numerous conference and workshop proceedings, and is co-author of the book E-Business: Principles and Strategies for Accountants. In addition to co-chairing the ER2003 Program Committee, Liddle has organized or helped organize numerous conferences and workshops, generally in the conceptual modeling space.

Liddle currently serves as a member of the Board of Trustees for the Utah Technology Council, and is a member of the Scientific Advisory Board for CARE Technologies, a company in Spain that develops model-compilation software. Liddle has consulted for such companies as Intel, Zions Bank, Ray Quinney and Nebeker law firm, Faneuil Research Group, Whitewater, and Technology Partners. Liddle has been a prolific software developer since age 14, so he is fluent in many different programming languages. A true “propeller head,” he often claims there is nothing he enjoys more than a good old “coding frenzy."

Outside of his professional career, Liddle enjoys spending time with his wife and children, camping, hiking, bike riding, reading, playing piano and guitar, and photography. He also serves as a Scoutmaster for the Boy Scouts of America.
