Otthein Herzog received his PhD in Computer Science from the University of Dortmund, Germany in 1976, after studies in Tübingen, Stuttgart, Karlsruhe und Bonn. From 1993 to 2009, he held the position of the chaired professor of Artificial Intelligence at the University of Bremen, Germany, where he was the founder and director of the research and technology transfer institute TZI-Center for Information and Communication Technologies. He researched and implemented numerous AI systems, e.g., for high-level image and video analysis and understanding, for Wearable Computing (since 1998), and, as PI, Multiagent Systems for production planning and advanced logistics in the DFG SFB 637-Autonomous Cooperating Logistics Systems. Since 1998, he is Affiliate Research Professor in the Machine Learning and Inference Laboratory, George Mason University, Fairfax, VA, USA. Since 2010, he holds the Wisdom Professorship of Visual Information Technologies at Jacobs University Bremen. In 2015, he joined the CIUC, Tongji University, Shanghai, PRC, as Summit Program Professor of AI for Urban Planning. Dr. Herzog is a Fellow of acatech—the German National Academy of Science and Engineering, and Fellow of the German Informatics Association where he also chaired the AI Section for 6 years. His research interests include Multiagent Systems for the coordination and optimization of complex processes in production and logistics, the semantic analysis of images and videos, Knowledge Management, and AI methods for Smart City planning. In these fields, he has published more than 270 refereed scientific articles and books including four patents. …
