Marco Blumendorf is a postdoc at the DAI-Labor of the Technical University of Berlin. He received his doctoral degree from the TU-Berlin in 2009 and is currently co-director of the competence center Next Generation Media at the DAI-Labor. He is leading the HCI working group and the MASP project and participated in several research projects funded by the German government, the Deutsche Telekom, Sun Microsystems and others. His research interest covers multimodal human computer interaction, focussing on model-based development of user interfaces for smart home environments.

Grzegorz Lehmann is a Ph.D. student at the DAI-Labor of the Technische Universität Berlin. His research focuses on the model based development and design of multimodal user interfaces. In his Ph.D thesis Grzegorz intends to thoroughly explore the benefits and disadvantages of the application of executable models to user interface development, which he started to investigate in his diploma thesis titled "Model Driven Runtime Architecture for Plastic User Interfaces". As the gap between the design and run time is being closed, Grzegorz is particularly interested in the impact of this process on topics such as end-user development, self-adaptive UIs and UI plasticity.

Veit Schwartze is a PhD student at the DAI-Labor of the Technical University of Berlin, currently working in the Service Centric Home project. This project is focused on development of services for the home environment. His main focus is the model-based development of user interfaces, especially the context aware adaption of graphical user interfaces.

Dirk Roscher is a PhD student at the DAI-Labor of the Technical University of Berlin. His research focuses on the model based specification of multimodal user interfaces. Furthermore he is interested in the distribution of such user interface and the fusion of user input.

Florian Weingarten studied product design at the university of applied sciences and art, Hanover. During the work on his diploma thesis on a multimodal controller for networked appliances in future homes, he already worked as a student worker for the Next Generation Services Competence Center. He is now involved in the Service Centric Home project, developing interaction concepts and interfaces benefitting from new multimodal input possibilities.

Serge Bedime is a student at the Technische Universität Berlin and currently working on his diploma thesis. He is taking part in the SerCho project as a student research assisstant and has a main focus on Model-based User Interface and development of Dialog models.

Mathias Wilhelm is a student at the Technische Universität Berlin and currently working on his diploma thesis. He is taking part in the SerCho project as a student research assisstant and has a main focus on integrating gesture control solutions to the smart home environment developed at the DAI-Labor.

Sebastian Feuerstack has finished Ph.D. thesis about a method for user-centered and model-based development of model-based user interfaces at the Technische Universität Berlin (TUB) in 2008. He initiates the reasearch area about model-based user interfaces at the DAI-Labor in 2002 during writing this diploma thesis.

His research interests include generation of model-based user interfaces, user interface layouting and methodologies for designing and testing interactive applications. He has participated in several research projects founded by the German Federal Government, Deutsche Telekom AG and others.

He left the DAI-Labor at the end of January 2009.
