Thomas Roth-Berghofer Senior Researcher at the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence DFKI GmbH, and Lecturer at the University of Kaiserslautern. He is working in the field of artificial intelligence, specifically in case-based reasoning, the semantic web, explanation, and context. His main research interests are in trustworthy and explainable knowledge-based systems. He co-initiated several workshop series such as Modeling and Retrieval of Context and Explanation-aware Computing. He was program co-chair of CONTEXT-07 and organised several other conferences. He was Workshop Chair of the 31st German Conference on Artificial Intelligence KI 2008 in Kaiserslautern.

Nava Tintarev has recently joined the Data Mining and User Modeling group at Telefoníca Research, Madrid. In parallel, she is completing her PhD from the University of Aberdeen where she was a member of the Natural Language Generation research group. Her thesis focuses on generating explanations for recommender systems. In her thesis project she has conducted a rigorous investigation into what kind of explanations are best for decision support contra acceptance. She has been an invited student speaker at the recommender systems summer school (2006), doctoral consortium at the recommender systems conference (2007), and at the Amazon office in Scotland (2008). In 2008, she received the James Chen best student paper award at the International Conference on Adaptive Hypermedia.

David B. Leake researches case-based reasoning, explanation, context, intelligent user interfaces, knowledge capture and management, introspective reasoning, and human-centered computing. His work combines AI, cognitive science, and human-centered computing. He is chair of the Steering Committee for the Seventh International and Interdisciplinary Conference on Modeling and Using Context (CONTEXT-09), was a Program Chair for the CONTEXT-05, and was Chair of the Seventh International Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (IUI-03).
