Sozo Inoue, PhD, is a Professor in the Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan. His research interests include human activity recognition with smart phones, and healthcare application of web/pervasive/ubiquitous systems. Currently he is working on verification studies in real field applications, and collecting and providing a large-scale open dataset for activity recognition, such as a mobile accelerator dataset with about 35,000 activity data from more than 200 subjects, nurses' sensor data combined with 100 patients' sensor data and medical records, and 34 households' light sensor data set for 4 months combined with smart meter data. Inoue has a Ph.D of Engineering from Kyushu University in 2003. After completion of his degree, he was appointed as an assistant professor in the Faculty of Information Science and Electrical Engineering at the Kyushu University, Japan. He then moved to the Research Department at the Kyushu University Library in 2006. Since 2009, he is appointed as an associate professor in the Faculty of Engineering at Kyushu Institute of Technology, Japan, and moved to Graduate School of Life Science and Systems Engineering at Kyushu Institute of Technology in 2018. Meanwhile, he was a guest professor in Kyushu University, a visiting professor at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany, in 2014, a special researcher at Institute of Systems, Information Technologies and Nanotechnologies (ISIT) during 2015-2016, and a guest professor at University of Los Andes in Colombia in 2019. He is a technical advisor of Team AIBOD Co. Ltd since 2017, and a guest researcher at RIKEN Center for Advanced Intelligence Project (AIP) since 2017. He is a member of the IEEE Computer Society, the ACM, the Information Processing Society of Japan (IPSJ), the Institute of Electronics, Information and Communication Engineers (IEICE), the Japan Society for Fuzzy Theory and Intelligent Informatics, the Japan Association for Medical Informatics (JAMI), and the Database Society of Japan (DBSJ).

Guillaume Lopez, PhD, received an M.E. in Computer Engineering from INSA Lyon, a M.Sc. and a Ph.D. in Environmental Studies from the University of Tokyo in 2000, 2002, and 2005 respectively.
