Re: DW WG: First call agenda and presentations

Hello everyone,

My names is Giancarlo Guizzardi and I am an Associate Professor
and co-coordinator of the Ontology and Conceptual Modeling Research Group
(NEMO) [1], at the Federal University of Espirito Santo (UFES) in Brazil.
I am also an associate researcher at the Laboratory of Applied Ontology
(LOA)
at the Italian National Research Council (CNR) and a visiting professor
at the University of Trento, Italy.

I have been working with Ontologies for the past 17 years both as
a researcher but also helping technology transfer in a number of
industrial sectors. I have published extensively on the subjects
of Ontology and Conceptual Modeling [2] and have been involved also in a
number of initiatives of ontology outreach (e.g.,
as member of the executive council and advisory board of
the International Association for Ontologies and Applications [3],
or as the general organizational chair for 8th International Conference
on Formal Ontology and Information Systems - FOIS 2014 [4]).

Looking forward to working with you all.

-Giancarlo
