Web Science Conference 2009 – Society On-Line

Αθήνα, Ελλάδα, 18-20 Μαρτίου 2009

Το Web Science Conference 2009 – Society On-Line είναι το πρώτο συνέδριο αφιερωμένο στην επιστημονική μελέτη των κοινωνικο-τεχνικών διαστάσεων του Web ως ένα μοναδικό και ολοκληρωμένο δημιούργημα. Η Επιστήμη του Web (Web Science) στοχεύει στην κατανόηση, στο σχεδιασμό και στην ανάπτυξη των τεχνολογιών και των εφαρμογών που συγκροτούν το World Wide Web. Ωστόσο, το Web δεν υπάρχει χωρίς τη συμμετοχή των ατόμων και των οργανισμών. Καθώς, λοιπόν, σήμερα ένα ιδιαίτερα σημαντικό μέρος της καθημερινής μας ζωής αφιερώνεται σε on-line δραστηριότητες, από ένα συνεχώς αυξανόμενο τμήμα του παγκόσμιου πληθυσμού, προκύπτει η αναγκαιότητα για την υλοποίηση του πρώτου συνεδρίου για την Επιστήμη του Web (Web Science), το οποίο διοργανώνεται από το Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) και το Ίδρυμα Μείζονος Ελληνισμού (ΙΜΕ) και το οποίο είναι αφιερωμένο στην παρουσίαση της έρευνας για την Society On-Line. Οι εργασίες του συνεδρίου θα πραγματοποιηθούν από τις 18 έως τις 20 Μαρτίου 2009, στο Θέατρον του Ιδρύματος Μείζονος Ελληνισμού (Πειραιώς 254, Ταύρος, Αθήνα).

Tim Berners-Lee

(WWW Inventor & WSRI Director)

A graduate of Oxford University, England, Tim Berners-Lee is the 3COM Founders Professor of Engineering in the School of Engineering, with a joint appointment in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the Laboratory for Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence (CSAIL) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) where he also heads the Decentralized Information Group (DIG). He is co-Director of the new Web Science Research Initiative (WSRI) and is a Professor in the Computer Science Department at the University Of Southampton, UK. He directs the World Wide Web Consortium, founded in 1994.

In 1989 he invented the World Wide Web, an internet-based hypermedia initiative for global information sharing while at CERN, the European Particle Physics Laboratory. He wrote the first web client and server in 1990. His specifications of URIs, HTTP and HTML were refined as Web technology spread.

In 2001 he became a fellow of the Royal Society. He has been the recipient of several international awards including the Japan Prize, the Prince of Asturias Foundation Prize, the Millennium Technology Prize and Germany’s Die Quadriga award. In 2004 he was knighted by H.M. Queen Elizabeth and in 2007 he was awarded the Order of Merit. He is the author of “Weaving the Web”.

Joseph Sifakis

(the first Greek to receive the Turing Award, in 2007)

Joseph Sifakis is a CNRS researcher and the founder of Verimag Laboratory, in Grenoble, France. He holds the INRIA-Schneider endowed industrial chair since September 1st 2008. He studied Electrical Engineering at the Technical University of Athens and Computer Science at the University of Grenoble.

Verimag is a leading research laboratory in the area of critical embedded systems. It developed the underlying theory and technology for the SCADE tool, used by Airbus for the design and validation of its critical real-time systems, and is becoming a de facto standard for aeronautics. Verimag has a lasting and strategic collaboration with ST Microelectronics, France Telecom R&D, and Airbus, through which numerous results on validation and testing have been transferred.

Joseph Sifakis is recognized for his pioneering work on both theoretical and practical aspects of Concurrent Systems Specification and Verification. He contributed to emergence of the area of model-checking, currently the most widely-used method for the verification of industrial applications. His current research activities include component-based design, modeling, and analysis of real-time systems with focus on correct-by-construction techniques.

Joseph Sifakis has broad experience with industry, notably though joint projects with partners such as Astrium, the European Space Agency, France Telecom, ST Microelectronics and he has also been active for many years in consulting.

Joseph Sifakis is the Scientific Coordinator of the European Network of Excellence ARTIST2 on Embedded Systems Design. This network gathers 35 of the best European teams in the area, and aims to produce innovative results for cost-effective design of dependable embedded systems. It will also promote innovative methods safe and secure systems, notably through cooperation with key European industrial partners such as Thalθs, Airbus, Ericsson, Philips, and ST Microelectronics.

Joseph Sifakis is the director of the CARNOT Institute “Intelligent Software and Systems” in Grenoble.

Joseph Sifakis is a member of the editorial board of several journals, co-founder of the International Conference on Computer Aided Verification (CAV) and a member of the Steering Committee of the EMSOFT (Embedded Software) conference. He is a member of Academia Europea and a member of the French National Academy of Engineering.

Joseph Sifakis has received with Ed Clarke and Allen Emerson for their contribution to Model Checking, the Turing Award for 2007. He is also the recipient of the CNRS Silver Medal in 2001.
