Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Gaedke is a full professor at Chemnitz University of Technology in Germany and owner of the chair for Distributed and Self-organizing Computer Systems. For further information feel free to visit http://vsr.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/

Prior to that position, he was a senior scientist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) (http://www.kit.edu), managing and leading the IT-Management and Web Engineering research group (http://mwrg.tm.uni-karlsruhe.de/) at the Institute of Telematics (http://www.tm.uni-karlsruhe.de) at the University of Karlsruhe (http://www.uni-karlsruhe.de). He also managed Web projects and consulting activities at the Telecooperation Office (http://www.teco.edu/), a third-party funded know-how transfer group. He has been working on Web Engineering topics since 1994. He developed the WebComposition approach, a reuse- and strategy-focused approach for the development and evolution of Web-based solutions, as well as curricular materials for Web Engineering lecture courses and practical courses. The work has been awarded by Microsoft Research – Academic Alliance Curriculum Program and is in use at several universities world-wide.

His research interest focuses on Web engineering, software engineering, and systems engineering and is driven by evolution, federation, and reuse as principles for building distributed systems. Furthermore, his thinking and solutions take rather interdisciplinary approaches into account, i.e. aligning IT, business, and social perspectives.

Martin is the chairman of the International Society for Web Engineering (http://www.iswe-ev.de), Managing Editor of the Journal of Web Engineering (JWE) (http://www.rintonpress.com/journals/jwe/), and member of the editorial boards of Journals on eLearning and Web Information Systems. He has published his work in international conferences, journals, and books and was co-author of one of the first papers on Web Engineering (http://www.webengineering.org/data/www6/1997-www6-gaedke.pdf) WWW6 conference in 1997. As a panellist, he spoke on the future of Web development at different conferences and workshops including WWW, CAiSE, ICSE and IWWOST. He has served on over 60 program committees for national and international workshops and conferences. Within his scientific activities, he was Program Co-Chair of the 5th International Conference on Web Engineering (ICWE2005, http://www.icwe2005.org) and chaired the Web Engineering tracks at the International World Wide Web Conferences from 2002-2004(cf. WWW2002: http://www2002.org/confcomm.html, WWW2003. http://www2003.org/conference_c.htm, and WWW2004: http://www2004.org/wee.htm) and is also responsible for the Web Engineering track at WWW2008 (http://www.www2008.org/CFP/RP-web_engineering.html).

Martin obtained a Master's degree in computer science in 1997 and a doctoral degree in engineering, on the subject of "Component-based technology for development and evolution of applications in the WWW", in 2000, both from the University of Karlsruhe, Germany.
