Introduction

[Stavros.Isaiadis@uk.fujitsu.com]

Hi all,

following Dave's email nominating me as a co-chair (thanks Dave) I would like to introduce myself and say a few things about my background.

So, briefly, I come from an academic environment where I have been working with Vladimir Getov (Uni. of Westminster) for more than 5 years, doing my PhD and then as a research fellow in the areas of distributed and grid computing. In parallel, I spent 4 years in European projects including CoreGRID and GridCOMP, where I had a very active role both in R&D (I led our Westminster design team for 2 years) but also a strong supporting role in WP management, deliverable writing, organization, and integration. Following the successful completion of GridCOMP I then joined Fujitsu 7 months ago.

Regarding SAF, I have a deep knowledge of the current specs; I have led architecture and dev efforts for building a sensing solutions platform using a partial SAF implementation; I am involved in current efforts for developing a proof of concept application on top of a full SAF prototype; and I have some very cool and smart people around me here at Fujitsu!

So, I'm looking forward to getting started in SAF!

With regards,
