Tom Tourwé (email) is an assistant professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology, where he is associated to the Software Engineering and Technology group. He is involved in the IDEALS project, investigating how AOSD techniques can deal with crosscutting concerns in embedded system software. He has been a speaker at several symposia, workshops and conferences, where he addressed the issue of re(verse)-engineering aspects, and has a number of conference and journal publications about the topic. Additionally, he is one of the main organisers of the LATE and BENEVOL workshop series, and actively participates in both national and international research networks.
Andy Kellens (email) is a PhD student at the Programming Technology Lab (PROG) of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel, funded by a scholarship granted by the "Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders (IWT Vlaanderen)". His research interests include aspect mining, automatic pointcut generation and support for the impact of evolution on aspects. Andy was also co-organiser of the first two editions of LATE, in Chicago and Bonn.
Mariano Ceccato (email) is a PhD student in the Information and Communication Technology International Doctorate School in the University of Trento and he currently works in ITC-Irst in Trento in the Software Engineering research line. His Research interests are source code analysis, empirical studies, aspect mining, aspect-oriented refactoring and migration from OOP to AOP. He collaborates with King's College London and Loyola College in Maryland on the automatic support for this migration process. He co-organized the first two editions of the Late Workshop, in Chicago (2005) and in Bonn, Germany (2006), held within AOSD conference and the 3rd European Workshop on Aspects in Software (EWAS'06) in Enschede, The Netherlands.
David Shepherd (email) is a fifth year PhD student (expected graduation date: May 2007) at the University of Delaware, where he has already received his M.S. He has published several papers on aspect mining and concern location, and is particularly interested in leveraging the natural language clues in source code to improve software engineering tools. He co-organized the first Workshop on Aspect Reverse Engineering, LATE '05 and LATE '06. He has interned at IBM, where he performed research on aspect mining, and currently is a research intern (part-time) at Quantum Leap Innovations.
Marius Marin (email) is a PhD researcher in the Software Evolution Research Laboratory at Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. He holds a Licentiate's degree in Economic Computer Science and an Engineer's degree in civil engineering. Before starting his PhD studies, he worked as a software engineer in industry. His main research interests are in the area of reverse engineering, software modularization and modeling, and aspect-oriented software development. He is the main author of the publicly available aspect mining tool FINT and he publishes at international conferences and journals in the aforementioned topics. He has been involved in the organizing committees of several workshops related to AOSD, like the 1st Workshop on Aspect Reverse Engineering and the 9th IEEE International Astrenet Aspect Analysis (AAA) Workshop.
