Robert Piloty (6 June 1924, in Munich – 21 January 2013)[1] was a German computer scientist and former Professor of Communications Processing at the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Technische Universität Darmstadt.
After studying electrical engineering, he received his doctorate in microwave technology from the Technical University of Munich under the supervision of Hans Heinrich Meinke.
[2][4][5] After the end of the PERM activities, Robert Piloty went to Zurich in 1955 as deputy head of the IBM research laboratory and in 1957 took over the management of system planning at the German company Standard Elektrik Lorenz in Stuttgart.
That is why Piloty founded the international Consensus Language (CONLAN) Working Group in 1975 as part of the IFIP with the aim of creating a basis for standardization.
[4] In the spring of 1969, Hartmut Wedekind and Robert Piloty had travelled through the USA together for several weeks to study the faculties of computer science there.
