People
Gerd Kortuem: Dr. Gerd Kortuem is a lecturer at Lancaster University's Computing Department, and principal investigator and coordinator of the NEMO project. His research focuses on software systems and computational agents for ubiquitous environments. In particular, he works on technologies for embedding computing, sensing and networking capabilities into everyday artifacts and environments.
Hans Gellersen is Professor for Interactive Systems in the Computing Department. His research interest is in ubiquitous computing and embedded interactive systems. This spans work on enabling technologies such as position and context sensing, on user interfaces beyond the desktop, and on embedding of interaction and intelligence in everyday artefacts. Prof Gellersen initiated the International Conference on Ubiquitous Computing.
Jerry Busby: Dr Jerry Busby is a senior lecturer in management science in the Management School. His research interests are in systemic failure, human and organisational error, risk and design processes. He has worked on topics such as failures of distributed cognition in hazardous environments, the mutual misconceptions of designers and users of hazardous systems, fixation in design processes, and problems of experiential learning and feedback in design organisations. His work on error in engineering processes won the 2001 Design Studies award.
Nigel Davies is a Professor for Mobile Computing in the Computing Department. He has managed numerous projects at Lancaster, including the MOST and GUIDE projects, both of which have been widely reported on in the academic literature and the popular press. He has participated actively in the mobile and ubiquitous computing research communities and has served in a number of roles including Program Chair for IEEE WMCSA 2000, and Program Chair for Ubicomp 2004. He is an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing and an Associate Editor-in-Chief for IEEE Pervasive magazine.
Linden Ball: Dr Linden Ball is a Senior Lecturer in Psychology at Lancaster University and Coordinator for the MRes in Design and Evaluation of Advanced Interactive Systems. His applied research has focused on the computer-based support of expert work practices and his theoretical research involves laboratory-based studies of deductive, inductive and probabilistic reasoning. Much of his research involves examining behaviour using multiple converging methods such as verbal protocol analysis, ethnography, and eye-movement tracking.
Joe Finney is a Lecturer in the Computer Science department of Lancaster University. His research interests encompass mobile computing and embedded systems. He has been involved in a number of research projects including the LandMARC and Mobile IPv6 System Research Laboratory collaborative projects with Microsoft Research, Orange UK, and Cisco, as part of which he was responsible for the development of the Mobile IPv6 protocol for Windows NT, Windows CE and the Cisco IOS. More recently, he has also been researching support for real-time embedded applications in mobile environments
David Hutchison: Prof. David Hutchison is Professor of Computing and Director of Infolab21 at Lancaster University. He has worked in networked systems for more than 20 years, and has completed many UK and EC research contracts in this area. He was a member of the UK EPSRC Communications and Distributed Systems (CDS) Committee and more recently has served on the Communications Panel that assesses grant applications from the UK academic community. In the recent past, he has been a member of the UK Grid Technical Advisory Group, and chair of the Grid Network Team responsible for advising on the communications infrastructure to be used by e-Science applications.
