Brief Bio
Gerd Wagner is Professor Emeritus at Brandenburg University of Technology, Cottbus, Germany. After studying Mathematics, Philosophy and Informatics in Heidelberg, San Francisco and Berlin, he (1) investigated the semantics of negation in knowledge representation formalisms, (2) developed concepts and techniques for agent-oriented modeling and simulation, (3) participated in the development of a foundational ontology for conceptual modeling, the Unified Foundational Ontology (UFO), and (4) created a new Discrete Event Simulation paradigm, Object Event Modeling and Simulation (OEM&S), and a new process modeling lan
guage, the Discrete Event Process Modeling Notation (DPMN). He has more than 200 publications in the areas of modeling and simulation, foundational ontologies, and web engineering, 44 of which have been cited at least 44 times (according to Google Scholar). He also operates sim4edu.com, a portal for educational simulation.

Alexis Drogoul
UMMISCO, IRD
France
|
Brief Bio
Alexis Drogoul holds a doctorate and a habilitation thesis in computer science. He was a professor at Sorbonne University from 1994 to 2004, and since 2005 he has been a senior researcher at IRD, the French National Research Institute for Sustainable Development. His work, which has been the subject of over 200 articles, focuses on the development of software tools (such as GAMA, http://gama-platform.org/) to support the modelling and simulation of complex socio-environmental systems, with a view to facilitating interdisciplinary work and involving social stakeholders in the construction of models. In this capaci
ty, he has helped to define the fundamental concepts of 'agent-based modelling', while working on the applications of this paradigm to environmental decision support, particularly in Vietnam, where he has helped to set up several research laboratories on this theme since 2006.
