FOSS4G 2009 Scientific committee expertises

Purposes of this page

Members of the scientific committee of the FOSS4G 2009 academic track have different research interests. In order to assign papers for reviewing to an appropriate specialist in the fields each paper deals with, this page tries to gather all domains of expertise or of interest for each member of the committee.

So, members of the scientific committee, please edit the table below and add 5 to 10 keywords that summarize your expertise or your research interests.
