Title: A principled approach to eventual consistency
(Abstract)
Speaker: Pr. Marc Shapiro
Date: June 27, 2011
Slides
Short biography:
Marc Shapiro does his research on distributed computer systems, data
replication and consistency algorithms, and distributed garbage
collection. He invented the proxy
concept, which is now universal on the Internet. He published at
SOSP
and OSDI , the two most prestigious venues of the area (one of the
only
two French papers at both venues). He was instrumental in the creation
of EuroSys, the
main European venue in the area. He authored 64 international
publications, 17 recognised software systems, and four patents. Dr
Shapiro's research started with a PhD from Université Paul
Sabatier for research performed at LAAS
in Toulouse, France (1980), followed by a post-doc at MIT, and a
researcher position at CMIRH.
He
is
a
researcher at INRIA since 1984. He spent a one-year sabbatical
at Cornell (1993--1994), and
he led the Cambridge Distributed Systems group at Microsoft
Research Cambridge (UK) from 1999 to 2005. He is currently a
Senior Researcher
for
INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt, in the Regal
group, located at LIP6.
Dr. Shapiro, a Senior Member of the ACM,
is
a
member
of the ACM Europe Council.
He
is the founder and past chair of the EuroSys,
the
European
professional
society in systems and European Chapter of SIGOPS. He was Vice-Chair of
ACM SIGOPS, the Special
Interest Group on Operating Systems, from 1995 to 1999. He founded its French chapter, ASF, which he
chaired from 1996 to 2000. He has been a member of several
Program Commitees in operating systems,
distributed systems, persistent systems, and garbage collection.
Title: Process Mining: What do organizations and people really do? ( Abstract)
Speaker: Pr. Wil van der Aalst
Date: June 28, 2011
Slides
Short biography:
Prof.dr.ir. Wil van der Aalst is a full professor of Information
Systems at the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e). Currently he
is also an adjunct professor at Queensland University of Technology
(QUT) working within the BPM group there. His research interests
include workflow management, process mining, Petri nets, business
process management, process modeling, and process analysis. Wil van der
Aalst has published more than 130 journal papers, 16 books (as author
or editor), 250 refereed conference/workshop publications, and 50 book
chapters. Many of his papers are highly cited (he has an H-index of
more than 75 according to Google Scholar, making him the Dutch computer
scientist with the highest H-index) and his ideas have influenced
researchers, software developers, and standardization committees
working on process support. He has been a co-chair of many conferences
including the Business Process Management conference, the International
Conference on Cooperative Information Systems, the International
conference on the Application and Theory of Petri Nets, and the IEEE
International Conference on Services Computing. He is also
editor/member of the editorial board of several journals, including the
Distributed and Parallel Databases, the International Journal of
Business Process Integration and Management, the International Journal
on Enterprise Modelling and Information Systems Architectures,
Computers in Industry, Business & Information Systems Engineering,
IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, Lecture Notes in Business
Information Processing, and Transactions on Petri Nets and Other Models
of Concurrency. He is also a member of the Royal Holland Society of
Sciences and Humanities (Koninklijke Hollandsche Maatschappij der
Wetenschappen).

Title: Collaborative Modeling and Simulation: the Virtual Physiological Human vision (Abstract)
Speaker: Pr. Marco Viceconti
Date: June 28, 2011
Short biography:
Marco Viceconti (M’97)
holds a Mechanical Engineering Degree
from the University of Bologna and a PhD from the University of Firenze.
After a period at the University of Wisconsin Madison, since 1990 he has
been working at the Rizzoli Orthopaedic Institute, In Bologna, Italy, where
he is Technical Director of the
Medical Technology Lab, and Director of the
Computational Bioengineering Lab, part of the recently established Bologna
Technopole. He is also contract professor of computational biomechanics at
the University of Bologna, and Scientific advisor of the BioComputing
Competence Centre, also located in Bologna. His main research interests are
related to the development and validation of medical technology, especially
that involving simulation. In his career he published over 200 papers, 160
of which are indexed in Medline, and serves are reviewer for many
international funding agencies and peer-reviewed journals. Dr. Viceconti is
internationally recognised as one of the key figures in the emerging Virtual
Physiological Human (VPH) community. Co-author of the first white paper on
VPH, coordinator of the STEP action that compiled the seminal VPH research
roadmap, animator of the World Integrative Research Initiative (WIRI), “VPH
Ambassador” for the VPH Network of Excellence, coordinator of one the three
VPH integrated projects (VPHOP), he is currently chairing the Board of
Directors of the forming
European VPH institute.
Title: The Complex Semantic Space Model (Abstract)
Speaker: Pr. Hai Zhuge
Date: June 29, 2011
Slides
Short biography:
Hai Zhuge is a professor and the chief scientist of the Key Lab of
Intelligent Information Processing at Chinese Academy of Sciences’
Institute of Computing Technology. He was the chief scientist of the
Semantic Knowledge Grid Project of the National Basic Research Program of
China. He is the pioneer of the cyber-physical-socio Knowledge Grid
research. His research concerns the classification-based Resource Space
Model (RSM), the self-organized Semantic Link Network model (SLN), the
Knowledge Flow, the scalable knowledge grid platform, and the
Cyber-Physical Society. Based on RSM and SLN, he established a complex
semantic space model as the unified model for managing resources in
different spaces and support cyber-physical-socio intelligence. He
presented over ten keynotes at international conferences on his
innovations. He initiates the International Conference on Semantics,
Knowledge and Grids (SKG, www.knowledgegrid.net). He is an associate
editor of the Knowledge and Information Systems and the IEEE Intelligent
Systems. He serves as the reviewer of several national foundations such as
NSF of Austria, NSF of China, SFI of Ireland, and NSF of USA. He is the
author of two monographs The Knowledge Grid and The Web Resource Space
Model. He was the top scholar in relevant area according to a Journal of
Systems and Software assessment report. His publications appeared in AIJ,
ACM TOIT, CACM, Computer, IEEE TKDE, IEEE TPDS, IEEE TSC, and JASIST. His
work was cited by journals and conferences such as ACM TOSEM, ACM TAAS,
IEEE TKDE, IEEE TSE, JPDC, WWW, ICSE, CIKM and ISWC. He received 2007's
Wang Xuan Award of China Computer Federation for his fundamental theory of
the Knowledge Grid. He is a Distinguished Scientist of the ACM.
