Advisory Board of the AIS SIG on Systems Analysis and Design. He has
published over 150 scientific articles and conference papers and edited
or written eleven books on topics related to system design,
implementation, software risk assessment, computer supported
cooperative work, standardization, and ubiquitous computing. He is
currently involved in research projects that look at the IT induced
innovation in software development, architecture and construction
industry, design and use of ubiquitous applications in health care,
high level requirements model for large scale systems, and the
development and adoption of broadband wireless standards and services.
Peri Loucopoulos holds chair, in the School of Informatics at The
University of Manchester, U.K, since January 1990 in information system
engineering. He joined the Department of Computation at UMIST as a
Lecturer in January 1984 following a period of seven years in industry
and academia and served as the Head of Department of Computation for
the years 1992-1994 and 1999-2001. His research interests focus on the
provision of Information Processing systems that support large, complex
and dynamic organisational systems. His research has been supported by
numerous research grants totalling in excess of €4.2 million, funded by
the EPSRC in the U.K., by the Commission of the European Communities
and by industry. He is the co-editor-in-chief of the Journal of
Requirements Engineering, Information Systems, Information Systems
Journal, the Journal of Computer Research, the Business Process
Management Journal, the International Journal of Computer Science and
the WSEAS Transactions on Computers.
Dr. Loucopoulos is the Fellow of the British Computer Society and
member of the IEEE and of the ACM. He has served on the IEEE Systems,
Man and Cybernetics Society Advisory Committee. He is a member of the
Steering Committee of the International Conference on the ER Approach
and of the Conference on Advanced Information Systems Engineering
(CAiSE).. Between the years 2001-2003 (including a full year on a study
leave) he initiated and directed the PLATO project for the Athens 2004
Olympic Games Organising Committee yielding savings of €58 million. The
work has been recognised by a number of awards. In 2005 he was the
recipient of the President’s Medal, one of the OR Society’s most
prestigious awards. He is the co-author of 6 books, the co-editor of 1
book, the editor of 2 volumes of conference proceedings, the co-editor
of 1 volume of conference proceedings. He has published in leading
journals such as ACM TOSEM, IEEE Trans on SMC, Information Systems,
Information Systems Journal, Journal of Systems and Software,
Information Software Technology and CAIS and many others. I am also the
author of numerous papers in peer-reviewed conferences of international
standing.
John Mylopoulos holds a
PhD degree from Princeton University (1970) and is professor of
Computer Science at the University of Toronto and the University of
Trento (Italy). His research interests span Software Engineering,
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Databases, and include semantic data
models, requirements engineering, and knowledge management. John is the
recipient of the first-ever Outstanding Services Award given by the
Canadian AI Society (CSCSI), a co-recipient of the most influential
paper award of the 1994 International Conference on Software
Engineering, a fellow of the American Association for AI (AAAI) and
past president of the VLDB Endowment. He was recently named a "Pioneer
of Computing in Canada" by IBM's Center for Advanced Studies.
Mylopoulos has been a principal investigator of both national and
provincial Centres of Excellence. His current research is exploring new
techniques for discovering mappings between data sources and designing
databases. He is also involved in research on goal-oriented
requirements engineering and the design of autonomic software systems.
Along with colleagues from Dalhousie, Waterloo and Alberta
Universities, he is developing software to help elderly individuals
overcome cognitive impairments such as memory loss and lack of
initiative. His contributions to the international research community
include service on the editorial board of numerous international
journals and organizing committees of international conferences.
He is currently co-editor-in-chief of the Requirements Engineering
journal (published by Springer Verlag) and served as program co-chair
of the International Joint Conference of AI (1991), general chair of
the Entity-Relationship Conference (1994), program chair of the IEEE
International Symposium of Requirements Engineering (1997), program
co-chair of the Semantic Web Conference (2003), and general chair of
the Very Large Databases Conference (2004).
Sean is a doctoral
candidate in the Information Systems Department at
the Weatherhead School of Management, Case Western Reserve
University. His research focuses on the software development
process with an emphasis on design requirements issues. He has a
