Norman William Paton is a Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester in the UK[5][31][32][33][34] where he co-leads the Information Management Group (IMG)[35] with Carole Goble.

Education

Paton was educated at the University of Aberdeen where he was awarded first class Bachelor of Science degree in Computing Science in 1986 and a PhD in 1989 for research into object-oriented database systems using Prolog[36][37][38] supervised by Peter Gray.[6]

Research

Paton's research interests are currently in distributed information management including dataspaces,[10][39][40]query processing in Wireless sensor networks,[41][42] autonomic computing, workflow management, and data management for systems biology.[30][43] His research has been funded by the EPSRC,[44] the BBSRC[45] and the European Union.

Paton has also been active in the Open Grid Forum (OGF),[46] Proteomics Standards Initiative (PSI)[3] and the Manchester Centre for Integrative Systems Biology (MCISB).[45]

Teaching

Paton has taught on several database courses at undergraduates and postgraduate level.

Administration

Paton has had a variety of roles in the School of Computer Science including director of the research school, director of teaching strategy, and head of school from 2008 to 2011.
