was born in a&c,

where people plant fine "guanyin" tea.

at 1963, he left his beautiful village,

entered into nankai (南开) university,

and began his research and study

in science and technology:

nankai university, china in 1968. he received the master’s degree by research in computer science in 1982.

      he had been a full professor of computer science at jinan university for 19 years since 1991. he had served as the head of the department of computer science and the associate-dean of the college of information science and  technology in jinan university for more than 5 years.

      he had worked in an it company for 10 years totally, and was a system analyst & software designer & logic principal designer for 7 years on shipping navigation mini-computer systems. he was a visiting exchange research scholar on computer science in the university of illinois at urbana-champaign in usa from 1986 to 1988. he had conducted research in software engineering and expert systems at the university of hong kong for 10 years. he visited the university of melbourne in australia for research collaboration on software testing. he had conducted academic exchanges on computer science at washington d.c., big island of hawaii, nashville of tennessee, charlotte of north carolina, usa; hague of the netherlands; belfast of north ireland, hammamet of tunisia; and tokyo of japan.

      he was the president of the guangzhou intelligent engineering association from 2002 to 2006, and a vice-president of the guangdong computer federation from 2004 to 2010. 

      he gained huoying dong's scholarship from hong kong in the period from 1986 to 1988. he has also been recognized and awarded corresponding certificate by the state council of china for his outstanding contributions in higher education and science since oct 1, 1992. he had received three main science and technology awards in software engineering and knowledge engineering from the chinese ministry of education and the guangdong province of china.

      his research interests are in software engineering and knowledge engineering, including formal methods, object-oriented methodology, software testing, logic programming, expert systems, petri net modeling and analysis of operating system, and discrete mathematics.

      huo yan chen had developed  mathematical model, algorithm design, programming, and logic design of hardware for 2 shipping navigation mini-computer systems (one for short range, the other for ultra long range), prototypes for three expert systems for medicine, one aided tool for software design, and four testing tools for software. 

      his development practices include creating mathematical model for special application, system analysis, algorithm design, software design, programming, logic design for hardware,  and hosting project in different periods for different projects.

      huo yan chen had published 86 research papers totally in academic journals and academic conferences (43 papers in chinese and 43 papers in english). his first and recent papers are as follows:
