Frank Golatowski is with the excellence centre on life
science automation CELISCA where he is leading the research group on
wireless sensor network. His works aims at transferring research
results gathered in the field of wireless sensor networks into life
science automation. He is responsible for courses on “Real-Time
Systems”, “Embedded Systems”, and “Networked Embedded Systems” at
Rostock University. His current research interests are in the field
of wireless sensor networks, ambient intelligence, and
device-centric service-oriented architectures. He was a senior
research assistant of electrical engineering at University of
Rostock, where he built-up real-time systems group and the mobile
robotics lab. He took part with his team “CoolRUNners” at various
RoboCup competitions (e.g. world championship) and received leading
places. He was chair of a series of special sessions on
service-oriented architectures (INDIN, IECON) in converged networks
and is now chair of SOCNE workshop. He served as a PC member and
reviewer of various conferences (e.g. ETFA, INDIN, IECON, AINA) and
reviewer or editorial board member of Trans. of Industrial
Informatics, Journal of Ubiquitous Computing and Intelligence, and
EURASIP Journal on Embedded Systems. He worked as a reviewer for
European Commission and Belgium public authority.
In 2006 he received the ITEA achievement award for outstanding
contributions in the SIRENA project (www.itea2.org) on
service-oriented infrastructures. He initiated the WS4D Open Source
initiative ws4d.org for deploying web services based solutions for
embedded systems.
Dr. Golatowski received Dipl.-Ing degree (1989) in Cybernetics and
Automation and a Doctorate degree (1998) in Computer Engineering
from University of Rostock, Germany.

Lucia Lo Bello is Associate Professor with tenure in the Department of Computer Engineering and Telecommunications at the University of Catania. Her research interests include wireless networks and sensor networks, factory communication, distributed process control, real-time industrial embedded systems, energy-aware protocols.
She received the M.D. in Electronic Engineering in 1994 and the PhD degree in Computer Engineering in 1998, both from the University of Catania. She was a visiting researcher at the Department of Computer Engineering of Seoul National University, South Korea (2000-01) with a post-doctoral position.
She has served on a number of program committees of distinguished international conferences in the area of factory communication, industrial embedded systems and real-time systems, being also General Chair and Program Co-Chair of some of them.
She is reviewer for several international journals, included IEEE/IES Transactions on Industrial Informatics and Transactions on Industrial Electronics, Real-Time Systems Journal, ACM Transactions on Embedded Systems. She is responsible for the University of Catania of the flexWARE Project, Flexible Wireless Automation in Real-Time Environments and the ARTISTDesign NoE on Embedded Systems Design, both projects funded by the European Commission within the 7 FP.
Member of the IEC Subcommittee 65C, WG 11, she partecipated to the standardization of Real-Time Ethernet.
She is the recipient of the IEEE Industrial Electronics Society 2008 Early Career Award.
She
published more than 90 technical papers on international
conferences, books and journals in the area of wireless sensor
networks, factory communication, real-time systems and distributed
systems.
