László Gulyás, Tamás Kozsik and John. B. Corliss

László Gulyás is a researcher at the Computer and Automation Research Institute of the Hungarian Academy of Science. He was a member of the Telemodeling project at the Complex Adaptive Systems Laboratory, Central European University. He received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. in computer science at the Lornd Etvs University of Sciences, Budapest, Hungary. He is now finishing his Ph.D. at the same institute. His main interests are: multi-agent systems with special emphasis on agent-based simulation and coordination, mobil computation, and programming languages.

Tamás Kozsik works as an assistant at the General Computer Science Department of the Etvs University in Budapest, where he is finishing the Informatics Ph.D. school as well. He received his M.Sc. in computer science and mathematics at the same institute. Recently he was also employed at the Complex Adaptive Systems Laboratory, Central European University, Budapest, as a modelling research programmer; he was involved in the Telemodeling project. His main fields of interest are formal methods with special emphasis on concurrency, programming methodology (e.g. object-oriented and aspect-oriented), functional programming and programming languages. Currently he is doing research on mobile computing in the Netherlands, at the Catholic University of Nijmegen.

John. B. Corliss began his scientific work as a geologist and oceanographer, with a PhD from Scripps Institution of Oceanography in La Jolla. He conducted oceanographic research in geology and geochemistry at Oregon State University, culminating with proposing, planning and leading the 1977 Expedition to the Galapagos Rift which first observed and explored Hot Springs along Mid-Ocean Rifts using the research submarine ALVIN. In 1983 he moved to Budapest to work independently to research and document the hot spring hypothesis for the origin of life. In 1988 he joined the Computer Systems Research Facility at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for research in creating massively parallel processor array algorithms for 64 kbit cellular automata simulations of evolutionary systems. In 1993 he took on the position of Director of Research at Biosphere 2 in Arizona, then returned to Budapest in 1996 to start and direct the Systems Lab at Central European University.
