Altogether, he has published more than 70 scientific papers in referred and international journals and conferences, and edited 5 volumes of Lecture Notes. In 2005 he published a monograph, A Theory of Distributed Objects. He gave many invited talks on Object and Distributed Computing at various universities around the world (including Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Berkeley, Stanford, ISI, USC, Electrotechnical Laboratory Tsukuba, Univ. of Sydney, Univ. of Adelaide, Univ. Federal de Rio, University College London, European Science Foundation). He was also an invited visiting scientist at various universities and research institutions (including Digital System Research Center in Palo Alto, and NASA Langley Research Center in Hampton, Virginia). Professor Yike Guo serves as Technical Director of the Parallel Computing Center at Imperial College, University of London. He is also Head of the Data Mining Group at Imperial College and is a world leading expert in large scale data mining and Grid computing. Over the last four years he has led a number of significant academic and industrial research and development projects targeted at building next generation e-Science platforms for which he has gained UK and European funding in excess of £10million. He has published more than sixty papers.
Professor Guo founded InforSense, a world-leading company on Grid Informatics platform in November 1999 to commercialize his group’s pioneering Open Discovery Workflow technology for high-performance large-scale integrative data analysis, rapid application building and process knowledge management. He led operational growth so that today InforSense is the leading integrative analytics vendor with a customer base that includes 6 of the top 15 major pharma companies. Achievements include partnerships with industry software and database leaders to develop and implement working integrative, cross-platform solutions for mutual customers. Dr. Domenico Laforenza is currently Technology Director at the Information Science and Technologies Institute (ISTI) of the Italian National Research Council (CNR), located in Pisa, Italy. He received the doctoral degree in Computer Science from the Department of Computer Science of University of Pisa in 1977. Since 1997 Dr. Laforenza was responsible for the CNUCE-CNR Advanced Computing Department. Since 1981 his main fields of research interest are: high performance computing and the programming of parallel systems.
Dr. Laforenza has a joint appointment at the Department of Computer Science of University of Pisa as professor of Parallel Applications. Since 1995 he is interested in Metacomputing and Grid computing. He has written numerous technical and scientific papers and he served as program committee member and organizer of many national and international workshops and conferences related to High Performance Computing and Grid. Dr. Laforenza was appointed as coordinator of some National initiatives on Grid Computing funded by the Italian Ministry of Education, University and Research (MIUR). In particular, he is involved in the Italian project GRID.IT, a 3-year research project started in 2002, where he serves as responsible for the ISTI-CNR Research Unit. During the years 2002-2003 he was member of the Grid Forum Steering Committee (GFSC) and co-Director of the Grid Performance and Information Services Area. Currently, he serves in the GGF GROC (Grid Research Oversight Committee).
Dr. Laforenza contributed to the creation of CoreGRID, the European Research Network on Foundations, Software Infrastructures and Applications for large scale distributed, GRID and Peer-to-Peer Technologies, funded by the European Commission's 6th Framework Program. From September 2004, he is chairman of the CoreGrid Members General Assembly, and member of the Integration Monitoring Committee. Dr. Laforenza is involved in other European Grid projects (e.g. NextGrid, GridCoord, Grid@Asia). More information at: http://miles.isti.cnr.it/~lafo/domenico/domenico.html Jaroslaw Nabrzyski received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from Poznan University of Technology in Poznan, POLAND. he works for PSNC where he heads the Applications Department. His research interests focus on knowledge-based multiobjective project scheduling and resource management for parallel and distributed computing.
He is co-founder of the European Grid Forum and the Global Grid Forum. In 2001-2002 he was a member of the Global Grid Forum Steering Group where he was the Area Director of the Applications, Programming Models and Environments Area. Currently he co-chairs the Grid Scheduling Architecture Research Group. he was involved in such gird projects as: GridLab (as coordinator and PI), Gridstart, Progress, SGI Grid. Currently he is involved in such FP6 and national grid projects as InteliGrid, HPC-Europa, GridCoord, Clusterix. Tuan-Anh Nguyen is currently researcher at the University of Applied Sciences of Fribourg (EIA-FR), Switzerland. He received his Ph.D. at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (EPFL) in 2004. He finished his Bachelor of computer science at the University of Technology in Ho Chi Minh city, Vietnam in 1998. In 1999, he was awarded two-year scholarship from the Swiss government studying at the Computer Science Theory Laboratory, EPFL. Then, he joined University of Applied Sciences of Valais as a scientific collaborator. Since 2002, he works at EIA-FR in the field of Grid computing. His main research interests are high performance computing, Grid computing, programming models and object-oriented technologies. Coordinates Dr. Kostas Anagnostakis
