Werner Dubitzky, PhD, is Chair of Bioinformatics at the
Biomedical Sciences Research Institute in the Faculty of Life and
Health Sciences at the University of Ulster. His research
investigates systems biology, knowledge management in biology, grid
computing, and data mining.

Krzysztof Kurowski, PhD, leads the Applications
Department at Poznan Supercomputing and Networking Center in
Poland. His research is focused on the modeling of advanced
applications, scheduling, and resource management in networked
environments.

Bernhard Schott, Dipl. Phys., is the EU-Research Program
