Dr. Michael Sheng is an Associate Professor in the School of Computer Science at the University of Adelaide. Michael holds a PhD degree in computer science from the University of New South Wales (UNSW) and did his post-doc as a research scientist at CSIRO ICT Centre. From 1999 to 2001, Sheng also worked at UNSW as a visiting research fellow. Prior to that, he spent 6 years as a senior software engineer in industries.

Dr. Sheng has more than 140 publications as edited books and proceedings, refereed book chapters, and refereed technical papers in journals and conferences including ACM Computing Surveys, VLDB Journal, Computer (Oxford), IEEE TPDS, DAPD, IEEE Transactions on Services Computing, IEEE Computer, IEEE Internet Computing, Communications of the ACM, VLDB, ICDE, CIKM, ICSE, ICSOC, and CAiSE. He is one of the top-ranked authors in the "World Wide Web" research area by Microsoft Academic Search.

Dr. Sheng has been invited to serve on organizing and program committees for dozens of international conferences including WWW, WISE, ICSOC. He is the program co-chair of APWeb 2012, MobiWIS 2011-2012, WAMIS 2010-2011, publication chair of WISE 2005, PDCAT 2007, and publicity co-chair of ICPS 2010, ICSOC 2005, WISE 2007.

Dr. Michael Sheng is the recipient of the Chris Wallace Award (2012), Microsoft Research Fellowship (2003) and CSC Fellowship (1998). He is a member of the IEEE and the ACM.
