Dr Horst Keller works in the NetWeaver Developer Tools ABAP group at SAP. As Knowledge Architect he is responsible for documentation and roll-out relating to ABAP and ABAP Objects. He also oversees the programs for preparing and presenting the ABAP documentation including the relating search algorithms. Wolf Hagen Thummel studied physics at the Karlsruhe University, Germany, and received his doctorate in experimental particle physics. In 2001, he joined SAP AG. He is currently a member of the TD Core AS&DM ABAP group and there focuses on language-related tools in the ABAP environment as well as in the area of mass checks for quality assurance. He assumes responsibility for ABAP checkpoint statements and the related tools, memory analyses, and parts of the ABAP Debugger. Wolf Hagen Thummel also deals with topics regarding the complexity of ABAP programs. He is author of several ABAP-related publications in trade journals and handbooks on programming languages.
