Andrzej Wąsowski is a Professor of Software Engineering at the IT University of Copenhagen in Denmark. He has previously held visiting positions at Aalborg University (Denmark), INRIA Rennes (France), and University of Waterloo (Canada). His research and teaching concerns building better software in concrete software domains, where raising the level of abstraction is often necessary. He used, designed, and evolved domain specific languages for embedded systems, operating systems, robotics, data analytics, variability management, and safety engineering. He is an editorial board member of the International Journal on Software and Systems Modeling (SoSyM), has been General Chair of the ACM/IEEE International Conference on Model Driven Engineering Languages and System, is a Steering Committee Chair of International Conference on Fundamental Approaches to Software Engineering (FASE), and member of the steering committee of European joint Conferences on Theory and Practice of Software.

Thorsten Berger is a Professor in Computer Science at Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, with previous positions at Chalmers | University of Gothenburg (Sweden), University of Waterloo (Canada), IT University of Copenhagen (Denmark), and Leipzig University (Germany). His research focuses on automating software engineering for the next generation of intelligent, autonomous, and variant-rich software systems. Since automation requires abstraction, and abstraction requires  language, he has built many DSLs, as well has he taught building DSLs for model-driven software engineering in graduate courses. His research was supported by highly ranked grants, such as a Starting Grant from the Swedish Research Council and a fellowship from the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Wallenberg Foundation, one of the highest recognitions for researchers in Sweden. He received two best-paper awards, three distinguished reviewer awards, and two most-influential paper awards, the latter for studies of DSLs.
