Invited Keynote Speakers

The following invited researchers have confirmed their participation in the workshop:

	Audun Jøsang, University of Oslo, Norway Short bio: Dr. Audun Jøsang is a Professor and head of the Research Group on Digital Security at University of Oslo. Previously he was Associate Prof. at the Queensland University of Technology, research leader for information security at the Distributed Systems Technology Centre in Australia, and worked in the telecommunications industry for Alcatel Telecom in Belgium and Telenor in Norway. He is a CISSP and CISM with broad expertise and experience in information security. Prof. Jøsang leads the reference group for Security-Governance Standardization at Standards Norway and is the national representative of IFIP SEC.
	Lance Kaplan, Army Research Laboratory Short bio: Dr. Lance Kaplan is a researcher in the Networked Sensing and Fusion branch of the U.S Army Research Laboratory (ARL). Dr. Kaplan serves on the Board of Governors for the IEEE Aerospace and Electronic Systems (AES) Society (2008-2013, 2018-Present) and as VP of Conferences for the International Society of Information Fusion (ISIF) (2014-Present). Previously, he served as Editor-In-Chief for the IEEE Transactions on AES (2012-2017) and the Board of Directors of ISIF (2012-2014). He is a Fellow of IEEE and ARL.
	Chris White, NEC Laboratories America Short bio: Dr. Christopher A. White is the President of NEC Laboratories America where he leads a team of world-class researchers focusing on diverse topics from sensing to networking to machine learning based understanding. Prior to joining NEC he spent 22 years working at Bell Labs where he led the Algorithms, Analytics, Augmented Intelligence and Devices (AAAID) research lab. He joined Bell Labs in 1997 after graduating with a Ph.D. in theoretical quantum chemistry from the University of California in Berkeley, California. His research interests include the development of computational models and methods for the simulation and control of interesting physical and digital systems. This has included work in areas ranging from linear scaling quantum chemistry simulations, to the design of new optical devices, to the global control of transparent optical mesh networks and to understanding and facilitating the propagation of ideas in organizations. In addition to the management of a team of world-class researchers, Dr. White's current work focuses on the creation of assisted thinking tools that leverage structural similarity in data with the goal of augmenting human intelligence.
