Reviewer experience: I have written many reviews for workshops,
conferences and journals such as Journal of Web Semantics, Journal
of Data Semantics, Elsevier DSS, Springer Annals of Information
Systems, Handbook of Research on Emerging Rule-Based Languages
and Technologies, etc. I also acted as revier for scientific research
and funding programs such as the Joint Academic and Commercial
Quality Research & Development (JACQUARD), Netherlands.
Experience in writing funding and research proposals (e.g., DFG,
BMBF, EU STREP and Integrated project (IPs) submitted to the European
Research Framework Program, one as a coordinator).
Different freelance consultancies for industry with an emphasis
on knowledge engineering, business rules technology and IT service
management.
