Keith Cheverst (homepage)
Keith Cheverst is a Reader in HCI at Lancaster University. His research over the last decade has focused on exploring the obdurate problems associated with the user-centred design of interactive systems (typically systems that utilise mobile and/or ubicomp technologies) that support communities in complex or semi-wild settings and the deployment and longitudinal study of these systems in order to gain insights into issues of user adoption and appropriation.

Yvonne Rogers (homepage)
Yvonne Rogers is the director of the Interaction Centre at University College London and UCL’s PI of the recently established Intel Collaborative Research Institute on Sustainable Connected Cities. She has been awarded a prestigious EPSRC dream fellowship to rethink the relationship between ageing, computing and creativity. She is passionate about designing computers to be engaging, exciting and even provocative and has pioneered an approach to innovation and ubiquitous learning that combines indoors experimentation with outdoors scientific inquiry.
