Workshop Chairs

Michael Grossniklaus, Portland State University, USA
Michael received his doctorate in computer science from ETH Zurich in 2007. His PhD thesis examined how object data models can be extended with versioning to support context-aware data management. Based on context-aware context management, a content management and several (mobile) Web information systems were developed. After leaving ETH Zurich, Michael worked as senior researcher at the Politecnico di Milano, where he both contributed to the Search Computing project and worked on reasoning over data streams (C-SPARQL). Recently, he has joined the database group at Portland State University, where he investigates the use of object database technology for cloud data management.

Manuel Wimmer, TU Wien, Austria
Manuel Wimmer is a post-doc researcher at the Business Informatics Group of the Vienna University of Technology (Austria). He has been involved in several research projects in the area of model-driven Web engineering, ontology engineering, model versioning, and model transformation. Currently, he is on leave working as visiting researcher at the Software Engineering Group of the University of Málaga (Spain), where his research focuses on model-driven evolution support for Web applications.
 

Tutorial Chairs
