Thomas Roth-Berghofer is affiliated with the Knowledge Management Research Department of the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence DFKI GmbH since 2002. He is also managing the Knowledge-based Systems group of Prof. Andreas Dengel at the University of Kaiserslautern. Dr. Roth-Berghofer gives lectures about the Semantic Web and Case-Based Reasoning. His main research interests are in trustworthy and explainable knowledge-based personalized support of KM activities. He co-initiated a workshop series on Philosophy and Informatics and an accompanying Special Interest Group as well as a workshop series on Modeling and Retrieval of Context. He is co-organizer of the Third Conference Professional Knowledge Management WM 2005 in Kaiserslautern and co-chair of the European Conference on Case-Based Reasoning ECCBR 2006 in Ölüdeniz/Fethiye, Turkey.

Stefan Schulz is affiliated with the Department of Systems and Computer Engineering of the Carleton University, Ottawa. He currently researches self-organizing aspects for combinatorial information retrieval and creation. His main research interests are peer-based, context-aware systems focusing on sharing and managing knowledge in communities of practice and organizations. He co-initiated a workshop series on Modeling and Retrieval of Context.

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

Sven Schwarz investigates methodologies of utilizing AI-enhanced knowledge management to support individual knowledge workers in an organizational environment in their personal knowledge work. He faced and faces this challenge in several research projects providing and utilizing strong expertise and interest in the following fields: knowledge representation, ontologies, user observation, context modeling, context elicitation and retrieval (case-based reasoning), and human computer interaction
(HCI).
