Dov Dori (born 2 September 1953) is an Israeli-American computer scientist, and Professor of Information Systems Engineering at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, known for the development of Object Process Methodology (OPM).^[1][2] The ideas underlying OPM were published for the first time in 1995.^[3]

Biography

Born in Haifa, Israel, Dori received his BS in Industrial Engineering and Management in 1975 at the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology. In 1981 he received his MS at the Tel Aviv University, Leon Recanati Graduate School of Business Administration, and in 1988 his PhD in Operations Research from the Weizmann Institute of Science^[4] under supervision of Amir Pnueli and Shimon Ullman.

Dori started his academic career in the United States as Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the University of Kansas in 1987. At the Technion, Israel Institute of Technology in the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management he was appointed Senior Lecturer in 1991, Associate Professor in 1999, and Professor in 2008. Since 2010 At the Technion he also heads the Enterprise Systems Modeling Laboratory. Between 2000 and 2020 he was intermittently Visiting Associate Professor and later Visiting Professor and Scholar at Sloan Business School and the School of Engineering of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.

Dori is known for the development of Object Process Methodology, for which he received the Technion Klein Research Award and the Hershel Rich Innovation Award. He is IEEE Fellow since 2017 "For contributions to model-based systems engineering and document analysis recognition" and IEEE Life Fellow since 2021. He is Fellow of the International Association for Pattern Recognition (IAPR) since 2000, Fellow of the Asia-Pacific Artificial Intelligence Association (AAIA) since 2021, and ACM Senior Member since 2006. In 2023 he received the INCOSE Pioneer Award "For his seminal work as a researcher and educator, and most successfully transitioning research to practice." He has published in the fields of conceptual modeling of complex systems, systems architecture and design, and systems biology.
