Initiators

Hans-Arno Jacobsen Hans-Arno Jacobsen holds the Bell University Laboratories Chair in Software Engineering at the University of Toronto, where he directs the Middleware Systems Research Group. His principal areas of research include the design and the development of middleware systems, distributed systems, and data management systems. Arno's current research focus lies on distributed event-based processing and aspect-oriented software development. His PADRES project revolves around events in service-oriented architectures and his AspeCt-oriented C project revolves around events in systems software and embedded systems.
Michael A. Jaeger Michael A. Jaeger is a postdoctoral researcher at the Communication and Operating Systems group at Berlin Institute of Technology. His research interests include event-based systems, publish/subscribe middleware, self-management, and self-stabilization. He received his master's degree (Diplom-Informatiker) in computer science from the Goethe University of Frankfurt/Main, Germany, and is a member of the ACM and the German Computer Science Society (GI). He implemented the first version of the event-based.org portal.
Gero Muehl Gero Mühl has received diplomas in computer science and electrical engineering from the University of Hagen. In 2002, he received his PhD from the Darmstadt University of Technology. Currently, he is a research assistant at the Communication- and Operating Systems group at the Berlin Institute of Technology where he was awarded with the habilitation in 2007. His main research interests lie in the field of event-based systems, middleware, and self-organizing distributed systems.

Rainer von Ammon Rainer von Ammon is managing director of the Centrum für Informations-Technology Transfer (CITT) in Regensburg. Until October 2005 he was Professor for Software Engineering, specializing in E-Business infrastructures and distributed systems, at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. Rainer is still teaching there and at the University of Applied Sciences of Regensburg. From 1998 to 2002, he worked as Principal Consultant and Manager for R+D Cooperations at BEA Systems (Central and Eastern Europe). Prior to this, he was Professor for Software Engineering in Dresden with a focus on development of applications with event driven object oriented user interfaces and component based application development. Before this Rainer was acting as manager of the field Basic Systems at the Mummert + Partner Unternehmensberatung, Hamburg. After finishing his studies of Information Sciences at the University of Regensburg, he started as project leader of Computer Based Office Systems (COBIS) from 1978 to 1983 and afterward founded a start up company with some of his colleagues.
