Kamran Parsaye

Kamran Parsaye

Kamran Parsaye received BS and MS degrees in mathematics from King's College London and the PhD in Computer Science from UCLA in 1980. His PhD advisor was Joseph Goguen. Using algebraic denotational semantics, Goguen and Parsaye introduced the notion of parameterized semantics, showing that the semantics for each programming language can be parametrically constructed from a set of object oriented modules.

He was one of the first researchers to apply artificial intelligence techniques to large scale database systems, and became known for coining the term Intelligent Database in a book of the same title in 1989. He was one of the originators of the concept of data mining, and developed some of the first commercial systems for automatically finding patterns in large databases.

In the 1990s he applied automatic pattern discovery to quality control and introduced the 8th, 9th and 10th Tools of Quality to the American Society for Quality to supplement the traditional Seven Tools of Quality Control. In the late 1990s, his commercial companies built and managed some of the largest manufacturing quality databases in the world. His books on computer science have been used as graduate level texts in universities worldwide. He is listed in the Database Hall of Fame.
