Speakers

	Ivar Jacobson, Ivar Jacobson International Dr. Ivar Jacobson is a father of components and component architecture, use cases, aspect-oriented software development, modern business engineering, the Unified Modeling Language and the Rational Unified Process. His work has influenced how most large organizations in the world are developing their software today. His latest contribution to the software industry is a formal practice concept that promotes practices as the ‘first-class citizens’ of software development and views process simply as a composition of practices. He is the principal author of six influential and best-selling books. He is a keynote speaker at many large conferences around the world.

	Christer Bengtsson, Swedsoft Christer Bengtsson is the director for the industry initiative Swedsoft founded and financed by amongst others ABB, Ericsson and the Saab Group. Members also include most Swedish major universities and institutes. Previously, he has co-founded and/or work for several startups as well as leading players in the embedded software space in different management, sales and marketing roles. Christer earned a M.Sc. degree in Electrical Engineering from the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden.
	Martin Naedele, ABB Dr. Martin Naedele is the gloabl R&D Program Manager for Industrial Software Systems in the Corporate Research function of ABB. Previously, he worked as senior researcher on various SW technology,  SW engineering, and IT security topics in the ABB Corporate Research  Center in Switzerland. Dr. Naedele studied Electrical Engineering with specialisations in Control and Software Engineering at Ruhr-University Bochum (Germany) and Purdue University (US), obtained a PhD in Computer Engineering from ETH Zurich (Switzerland), and is a certified security auditor. He participated in national and international standards committees and served as associate editor of the IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics.
	Birger Rapp, MIT Birger Rapp is Dean of the Swedish Graduate Research School of Management and IT, (MIT). He is professor emeritus from Linkoping University and now professor at Uppsala University 50% and Blekinge University College, 30%. His research interest is mainly related to IT and Management. The research school MIT started 2001 and is a network school with 13 members from Universities and University colleges. Uppsala University is the host. Up to now the Research School has delivered almost 60 licentiate theses and doctor theses. In total about 130 PhD students have been accepted to the school.
	Christer Norström, Mälardalen University Christer Norström is Vice President and professor in Computer Science and Engineering at Mälardalen University. Previously he was manager at within the product development organisation at ABB Robotics. His research interests are design of real-time systems, and architectures, processes and organisation for efficient and effective product development of software intensive systems in a global context. In this context his interest for open innovation started. He is also very active in running collaboration between academia and industry and interested in technology transfer from academia to industry which he has manifested through several successful transfers to the automotive industry.
