dissertation, Fabian developed methods for the automatic construction and maintenance of a large knowledge base, YAGO. For his thesis, he received the ACM SIGMOD Dissertation Award Honorable Mention. The original YAGO paper at the WWW Conference in 2007 has received more than 350 citations, and YAGO is used in many major knowledge-base projects around the world (including DBpedia). Aparna Varde is a Tenure Track Assistant Professor in Computer Science at Montclair State University, NJ. She obtained her Ph.D. in the area of scientific data mining from Worcester Polytechnic Institute, MA. For her work, she was given an Associate membership of Sigma Xi, the Scientific Research Society for excellence in multidisciplinary research. Her research interests span data mining, databases and artificial intelligence with particular emphasis on scientific domains. This has lead to over 35 publications in these areas. She has served on the PC of various conferences, e.g., ER 2010, EDBT 2009, ICDM 2008 and been a reviewer for journals including TDKE, DKE and the VLDB journal. She is advising a Ph.D. student and has been the research advisor for 4 M.S. students and 5 B.S. students. She is supported through various grants by organizations such as the National Science Foundation, USA. Richi Nayak is a senior lecturer in Computer Science discipline at Queensland University of Technology, Brisbane, Australia. Her research interests are data mining and knowledge discovery. In recent years she has focused her research on Web intelligence, Web service discovery and XML data management. She has been successful in applying theories of data mining in a variety of practical scientific settings. Her publications include 1 edited workshop proceeding, 1 edited book, 8 book chapters, 15 refereed journal articles and 60 refereed conference articles. She is founder and chief editor of the International Journal of Knowledge and Web Intelligence. Pierre Senellart is an Associate Professor in the Computer Science and Networking department at Télécom ParisTech, the French leading engineering school specialized in information technology. He is an alumnus of the École normale supérieure and obtained his Ph.D. (2007) in Computer Science from Université Paris-Sud, studying under the supervision of Serge Abiteboul. He has published research in top-tier computer science conference and journals and has served on the PC and as an officer of various conferences; he is also the Information Director of the Journal of the ACM. His research interests focus around theoretical aspects of database management systems and the World Wide Web, and more specifically on the intentional indexing of the hidden Web, probabilistic XML databases, and graph mining.
