Currently, Mr. Sowa serves as an Advisor at Kyndi. Sowa invented conceptual graphs, a graphic notation for logic and natural language, based on the structures in semantic networks and on the existential graphs of Charles S. Peirce. He published the concept in the 1976 article "Conceptual graphs for a data base interface" in the IBM Journal of Research and Development. In the 1980s this theory has "been adopted by a number of research and development groups throughout the world. International conferences on conceptual graphs have been held for over a decade since before 1992."
