From 1983 to 1989 he held a Professorship at the Johann Wolfgang Goethe-University in Frankfurt, in late 1989 he returned to Hamburg University. Sabbatical semesters were spent as a guest researcher in Toronto, Cambridge (USA), Washington, Paris, Rome and Pisa. The emphasis of his research and lecturing is devoted to databases, information systems, programming languages and transaction-oriented systems. J.W. Schmidt is co-founder of the Springer Series Topics in Information Systems as well as being a founding member of the conference series Extending Database Technology (EDBT). His editorial activities extend to journals such as Information Systems, Programming Languages, Data and Knowledge, Distributed Computing and the newly established VLDB Journal.
