Zsolt Németh

Folks! I am NOT Zsolt Nemeth, the state secretary, I am not even a member of the Parliament. Please stop sending requests for mediation. Thanks.

I am not a hammer thrower, I am not a scientologist. Despite the obvious similarity, I am not one of these handsome guys wanted for burglary.
Here you can find boring stuff about grid computing, formal methods, workflow coordination, abstract models, parallel and distributed computing and the likes. I warned you.
Less offensive photographs are available upon request (yes, usually I'm less offensive.) For instance, when I'm learning French, I'm not offensive at all:

Some of my papers worth looking at

Believe or not my current Erdõs number is 3. Strange. It makes the illusion as if I were a serious researcher.

Karoly Reich, the forgotten genius

Have a break (in the quest for perfection...here are some almost perfect things)

Olive groves and vineyards as far as to the sea
Red fishing boats farther still to memory
Golden cricket husks of August in a midday sleep
With shells or seaweed. And the boat's hull
Newly built, green, that in the water's peaceful embrace still reads:
The Lord Will Provide

from Age of Blue Memory
Odysseus Elytis (Nobel Prize Laureate, 1979)
