Dr. Xu(须成忠) is a Professor and in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Wayne State University and the Director of the Cluster and Internet Computing Laboratory (CIC). He obtained BSc and MSc degrees from Nanjing University, China and a PhD degree from the University of Hong Kong, all in computer science and engineering.

Dr. Xu's research interest is primarily in distributed, parallel, and networked computer systems, including algorithms, programming environments and tools, scheduling and resource management. Recent focus is on scalable and secure Internet services and architecture, energy-efficiency in mobile and embedded devices, and highly dependable computer systems. See Current Grants for ongoing funded projects and Recent Publications for accomplishments. He is the author of the book "Scalable and Secure Internet Services and Architecture" (Chapman & Hall/CRC, June 2005) and a co-author of the book "Load Balancing in Parallel Computers: Theory and Practice)" (Kluwer Academic, Nov 1996). He is serving in a number of journal editorial boards: including IEEE Trans. on Parallel and Distributed Systems (TPDS) and J. of Parallel and Distributed Computing (JPDC).

Dr. Xu is a recipient of "President's Awards for Excellence in Teaching" of Wayne State University in 2002 and "Career Development Chair Award" in 2003.

 
Keynote 2
Speaker: Prof. Kwei-Jay Lin
 
      Kwei-Jay Lin (林桂傑 教授)
        Professor, University of California, Irvine, USA

Dr. Lin(林桂傑) is interested in Service-Oriented Computing and Applications, and specifically, the development of efficient, flexible and accountable services on the web.

 
He is involved in two major research efforts at UCI: LLAMA and QCWS. The LLAMA (inteLLigent Accountability Middleware Architecture) project is a powerful, effective, and efficient SOA middleware framework to support service process composition, run-time monitoring, problem analysis, and continual process reconfiguration and optimization. It includes the infrastructure to continuously monitor services within an active service workflow, and dynamically adapt by reconfiguring those problematic or underperforming services.
 
In the QCWS (QoS Capable Web Services) project, he studies a broker-based framework to facilitate dynamic integration and adaptation of QoS-aware Web services with end-to-end QoS constraints.  He  has also designed many service selection and adaptation algorithms used by QoS brokers under different system requirements.
 
He is an Editor-in-Chief of the journal on Service-Oriented Computing and Applications, and Editor-in-Chief of the Software Publication Track, Journal of Information Science and Engineering.

Dr. Cho-Li Wang (王卓立) received his B.S. degree in Computer Science and Information Engineering from National Taiwan University in 1985. He obtained his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Engineering from University of Southern California in 1990 and 1995 respectively. He joined Department of Computer Science, The University of Hong Kong, in September 1995. Dr. Wang's research mainly focuses on Cluster and Grid Computing. His current research involves: Grid middleware, Distributed Java Virtual Machine on Clusters, and Software Systems for Pervasive/Mobile Computing. Dr. C.L. Wang and Dr. Francis Lau co-lead The Systems Research Group (SRG). The SRG team has built the HKU Gideon300 Cluster in October 2002, which was the first largest self-made cluster in Hong Kong. Dr. Wang is currently a regional coordinator of IEEE Technical Committee on Scalable Computing (TCSC) and an executive member of IEEE Technical Committee on Parallel Processing (TCPP).
