Hans Gellersen -- Context Sensing for Ubiquitous Computing

Hans Gellersen is a Professor of Interactive Systems in the School of Computing and Communications at Lancaster University, UK. He has a long-standing track record in ubiquitous computing where his work is focused on context sensing, location systems and user interface technologies. Hans has led European research collaborations on topics such as smart objects and relative positioning and is widely cited for work on augmentation of everyday objects, multi-modal sensing of context, and novel devices for interaction. His recent work includes research on eye movement as a context for ubiquitous computing, ad hoc location systems for use in emergency response, and sensor-based device authentication. Hans is closely involved with the International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing, which he founded in 1999. He is also an Editorial Board Member of IEEE Pervasive Computing Magazine, and an Editor of the Journal on Personal and Ubiquitous Computing. Hans holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany.

Sape Mullender -- Integration of Storage and Communication turns Sensors into First-Class Citizens of the Internet

Sape Mullender is director of Network Systems in Alcatel-Lucent's Bell Laboratories and an extraordinary professor of computer science at the University of Twente in the Netherlands.
He has worked extensively in operating systems, multimedia systems, wireless systems research and is now working on the integration of processing, communications and storage. He was a principal designer of the Amoeba distributed system, and contributed to the Nemesis multimedia operating system, Plan 9 and Inferno.
He received his Ph.D. from the Vrije Universiteit in Amsterdam and was a faculty member there until 1983. From 1984 to 1990 he has been the head of the distributed systems and computer networks research group at the Centre of Mathematics and Computer Science (CWI) in Amsterdam. From 1991 to 1998 he was a full professor in Twente; he now holds a chair there part time. Between 1992 and 1997 he was the Northernmost computer science professor in the world at the University of Tromsø in Norway. He started work at Bell Labs in 1998.
He has published papers on file systems, high-performance RPC protocols, locating migratable objects in computer networks, and protection mechanisms, and has been involved in the organization of a series of advanced courses on distributed systems — Arctic'88, Fingerlakes'89, Bologna'90, Karuizawa'91, Lisboa'92, and Redmond'93.
