LU LIU

Dr Lu Liu is Lecturer in School of Engineering and Information Sciences at Middlesex University (UK). Before joining Middlesex University, he was Research Fellow in the School of Computing at the University of Leeds (UK), working on NECTISE Project which was an EPSRC/BAE Systems funded research project involving ten UK Universities. He received a Ph.D degree (funded by UK DIF DTC) from the University of Surrey (UK) and M.Sc. degree from Brunel University (UK). 

His research interests are in areas of peer-to-peer computing, software engineering and service-oriented computing. Dr Liu has over 30 scientific publications in reputable journals, academic books and international conferences.He won the Best Paper Award at the Realising Network Enabled Capability Conference in 2008. He is on the Editorial Review Board of International Journal of Distributed Systems and Technologies. He served as Co-chair, TPC Member, Advisory Committee Member and Session Chair of many international conferences and workshops.
