The founder and CEO of Dopti Ltd. is József Dombi, Ph.D, associate professor at the Department of Informatics at the University of Szeged, Hungary (academic activities). He has been working for the industry to solve real-life problems for 15 years. His main research activities are in the field of artificial intelligence, multi-criteria decision theory, neural networks, genetic algorithms, decision trees, theory of fuzzy sets, data mining, visualization tools and numeric analysis.

He founded and he was the former majority owner of the Cygron Ltd., where he worked together with many of his current collaborators. The DataScope data mining and data visualization software produced under their control won the European Information Technology Prize in 1997, it was investitured by the then president of the European Union in Bruxelles (Picture 1, 2). The improved version of the software rewarded in the 'Best of COMDEX' award in the personal productivity software category in Las Vegas in 1999. Since then, the Cygron is owned by American and Singaporean investigators.

József Dombi founded the Dopti Ltd. in 2002 in order to apply the scientific results in practice in a company controlled by him. Many algorithms are developed according to the newest international and in-house research to solve the following problems:

• Prediction of processes in a company
• Optimization problems in energetics
• Complex trasportation and logistic problems
• Optimal load of stores
• Cost optimization
• Determination of optimal portfolio
• Production control
• Analysis of databases of the company
• Support for marketing and sale purposes

In order to solve the above mentioned problems, algorithms have to be developed in the following areas:

• Adaptive learning
• Prediction
• Optimization with constrains
• Data analysis
• Clustering
• Relation analysis
• Decision support

The developed procedures are widely and successfully applied in real-life problems, for further information, see the company homepage.
