Ian wrote a 2nd edition professional distributed computing book (sold 2000+) and was lead editor for “Workflows for eScience”. Ian has guest edited for the Journal of Grid Computing and co-chaired the OGF Workflow Management Research Group. He has published 110 papers.
Amit Sheth
Educator, Researcher, and Entrepreneur. Founding Director - AI Institute, NCR Professor, and Professor of Comuter SC & Engg, University of South Carolina. Earlier, LexisNexis Ohio Eminent Scholar. Executive Director, Ohio Center of Excellence in Knowledge-enabled Computing (Kno.e.sis) at Wright State University. Elected Fellow IEEE, AAAS, AAAI, ACM, and AAIA. Working towards a vision of Computing for Human Experience. His recent work has focused on knowledge-infused learning and neuro-symbolic AI, semantic-cognitive-perceptual computing, and semantics-empowered Physical-Cyber-Social computing. He coined the terms: Smart Data, Semantic Sensor Web, Semantic Perception, Citizen Sensing, etc. He has (co-)founded four companies, including the first Semantic Search company in 1999 that pioneered technology similar to what is found today in Google Semantic Search and Knowledge Graph, ezDI, which developed knowledge-infused clinical NLP/NLU, and Cognovi Labs at the intersection of emotion and AI. He is particularly proud of the success of his >45 Ph.D. advisees and postdocs.

He was a postdoctoral researcher at the Computer Vision Laboratory, ETH Zurich, from 2009 until 2012 and senior research scientist at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems in Tübingen from 2012 until 2013. Since 2013, he is professor at the University of Bonn and head of the Computer Vision Group.
Carolyn Talcott
Dr. Carolyn Talcott is a Program Director in CSL, and SRI fellow. She has PhD's in Chemistry and Computer Science. She leads the Symbolic Systems Technology and Pathway Logic groups. She has over 25 years experience in formal modeling and analysis. At SRI, Dr. Talcott is leading research in symbolic systems biology, security protocol analysis, and formal analysis applied to embedded systems and next-generation networks.
Elad Michael Schiller
Elad Michael Schiller received his M.Sc., and B.Sc. in Mathematics and Computer Science from Ben-Gurion University of the Negev, Israel and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the same university. His research excellence has been acknowledged by several highly competitive research fellowships from the Israeli government and the Swedish government. He is now an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. Elad has published in top-tier venues (including PODC, DISC, OPODIS, SPAA, SRDS, ICDCN, IEEE-TMC, IEEE-TPDS and Acta Inf.). He has co-authored more than 50 conference and journal papers. He served on the program committees for several international conferences, including PODC, DISC, SSS, ICDCN and AlgoSensors. His research interests include distributed computing, with special emphasis on self-stabilizing algorithms, wireless communications and the application of game theory to distributed systems.
