Nigel Gilbert is Professor and Director of the Centre forResearch in Social Simulation at University of Surrey and theHomeSense PI. He read for a first degree in Engineering, andobtained his doctorate on the sociology of scientificknowledge from the University of Cambridge. His researchand teaching interests have reflected his continuing interestin both sociology and computer science (and engineeringmore widely). His main research interests are processualtheories of social phenomena, the development ofcomputational sociology and the methodology of computersimulation, especially agent-based modelling.

Nigel GilbertKlaus Moessner is Professor in Cognitive Networks in the 5GInnovation Centre and the Co-PI of HomeSense. He has beenactively involved in the various European Communityfunded research frameworks. He has also had involvementin some 20 other EU funded projects. Klaus’ researchinterests are around the aspects of reconfigurability on thedifferent system levels, including reconfigurationmanagement and scheduling in wireless networks as well asnetwork supported adaptability of multimodal userinterfaces.

Klaus MoessnerKristrún Gunnarsdóttir is a Research Fellow at Centre forResearch in Social Simulation and the HomeSense projectmanager. Her background covers conceptual/visual ICTdesigns, IT administration and development, philosophy andsociology. Her PhD is a study in ethnomethodology inreference to CSCW, activity and cognitive theories. Mostrecently, she worked on three FP7-funded projects, Epinet,ICTethics and Technolife, all case-based investigations intothe ethical, legal and socio-economic implications of new-emerging ICTs, as well as of public perception and futurescenario-building in innovation policy development andgovernance.
