Education

Bowen has previously worked at Imperial College, London, the Oxford University Computing Laboratory and the University of Reading. His worked with formal methods in general and the Z notation in particular. He has been Chair of the Z User Group since the early 1990s. In 2002, Bowen was elected Chair of the British Computer Society FACS Specialist Group on Formal Aspects of Computing Science. Since 2005, Bowen has been an Associate Editor-in-Chief of the journal Innovations in Systems and Software Engineering. From 2008–09, he was an Associate at Praxis High Integrity Systems, working on a large industrial project using the Z notation.

His other major interest is the area of online museums.
