Dr. Dickson K.W. Chiu received the B.Sc. (Hons.) degree in Computer Studies from the University of
Hong Kong in 1987. He received the M.Sc. (1994) and the Ph.D. (2000) degrees in
Computer Science from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where
he worked as a Visiting Assistant Lecturer after graduation. He also started his
own computer company while studying part-time. From 2001 to 2003, he was an
Assistant Professor at the Department of Computer Science, the Chinese
University of Hong Kong. He was a Visiting Assistant Professor in 2006 at the
Computing Department, Hong Kong Polytechnic University for teaching M.Sc.
courses. With his solid industrial experience and cross-disciplinary research,
he has taught a wide range of subjects at various levels.
His
research interests are in
information systems, information technologies,
service computing,
and
e-/m-business
with a cross-disciplinary approach, involving Internet technologies, agents,
workflows, software engineering, information system management, security, and
databases. His research results have been published in over 100 papers in
international journals and conference proceedings, including practical results
of many master and undergraduate projects. He received a best paper award in the
37th
Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS) in 2004. He serves as
Associate Editor of the Engineering Letters and Editorial Board Member of
the International Journal of Web Service Research, and International
Journal of Software Architecture. He co-founded several international
workshops and co-edited several special issues in journals. He also served as a
mini-track co-chair in the Decision Technologies track of HICSS, a
theme (Service Intelligence and Service Science) co-chair in the
International Conference of Machine Learning and Cybernetics, and program
committee member in many international conferences. Dr. Chiu is a Senior Member
of the ACM, a Senior Member of the IEEE, and a Life Member of the Hong Kong
Computer Society.
