Reviewing
I've also been reviewing for a number of conferences and workshops, for example ECIS 2008, ARCS 2007, CHI 2007, KiVS 2007, Ubicomp 2006, UIST 2006, 2006 IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy, CHI 2006, Usenix 2004, Mobisys 2004, Ubicomp 2002, Pervasive 2002, ARCS'02, and the IFIP/ACM Workshop on Middleware for Mobile Computing.
I am (or have been) reviewing articles for Transportation Review Part C, Pervasive and Mobile Computing, IEEE Pervasive Computing Magazine, Communications of the ACM, ACM Transactions on Internet Technology, ACM Transactions on Information and System Security, ACM Transactions on Sensor Networks, ACM Transactions on Computer-Human Interaction, IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE Transactions on Software Engineering, Journal of Location Based Services, and Wiley Publishers.
I am also a reviewer in the European Commission's 6th Framework Programme, as well as for the Institute for the Promotion of Innovation by Science and Technology in Flanders (IWT).
Conference Organization
As for conference organisations, I co-organized the Symposium The computer in the 21st century, a German-speaking event here at the ETH Zurich with more than 250 participants (in March 2005).
I was Financial and Publicity Co-Chair
of the Pervasive 2002
conference, which was held from August 26-28, 2002 also at the ETH
Zurich.
I was one of the Co-Organizers of the Disappearing Computer Jamboree 2001, an internal event of the Disappearing Computer Inititative held from October 18-19, 2001 (again, at the ETH Zurich). The DC-Initiative is a research program within the EU's Fifth Framework Program, involving 16 projects and more than 180 researchers from all over Europe.
And last not least, I was Publicity, Registration and Local Arrangements Chair of the Second International Symposium on Agent Systems and Applications (ASA 2000) and Fourth International Symposium on Mobile Agents (MA 2000), which has been held at a Joint Symposium (ASA/MA 2000) from September 13-15, 2000 (yes, here at the ETH Zurich).
