Julius Francis Gomes is pursuing his PhD in International Business from the University
of Oulu. He currently works at the Oulu Business School as a Doctoral Student to research
the futuristic business models for entities which will be involved in the tech‐oriented
business arena. His research focuses on using business models as a means to look
into future industries. He is interested to research business ecosystems in different
contexts, such as cyber security, healthcare, future’s network, etc. with a business model
perspective. He received his MSc (2015) in International Business from the University of
Oulu. Prior to that, he acquired an MBA in 2011, specializing in managing information
systems in business applications. Francis Gomes has enjoyed three years in a top tier
bank in Bangladesh as a channel innovator.
Karl‐Johan Grinnemo received his MSc in Computer Science and Engineering from
the Linköping Institute of Technology, Sweden, in 1994. In 2006, he received his PhD in
Computer Science from Karlstad University, Sweden. He worked almost 15 years as an
engineer in the telecom industry; first at Ericsson and then as a consultant at Tieto. A
large part of his work has been related to Ericsson’s signaling system in the mobile core
and radio access network. From the Fall of 2009 until the Fall of 2010, he was on leave
from Tieto and worked as acting Associate Professor at the School of Information and
Communication Technology, KTH Royal Institute of Technology. Between the Fall of
2010 and the Fall of 2014, he was an Associate Senior Lecturer at Karlstad University,
and became a Senior Lecturer in the Fall of 2014. His research primarily targets application‐ and transport‐level service quality. He has authored and co‐authored around 40
conference and journal papers, and is a Senior member of IEEE.
Kimmo Järvinen received his MSc (Tech) degree in 2003 and the DSc (Tech.) degree
in 2008 from Helsinki University of Technology (TKK), Finland. He was with the
Signal Processing Laboratory at TKK from 2002 to 2008. In 2008–2013 and again in
2015–2016, he was a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of (Information and)
Computer Science, Aalto University, Finland. In 2014/2015, he was with the COSIC
group of KU Leuven ESAT, Belgium. Since November 2016, he is a senior researcher in
the Department of Computer Science, University of Helsinki, Finland. His research
interests lie in the domains of security and cryptography, especially in developing efficient and secure implementations of cryptosystems. He has authored more than 40
peer‐reviewed scientific publications. He is currently a working package leader in the
Academy‐funded project “Information Security of Location Estimation and Navigation
Applications (INSURE)”.
Lauri Isotalo received his MSc from Helsinki University of Technology (currently
Aalto University) in 1992. He also has a postgraduate Diploma in Business Administration.
At first, Lauri worked in Nokia Corporation in the Mobile Technology & System
Marketing unit, specializing in Intelligent Networks. In 1992, he joined the Elisa
Corporation, where he has held several managerial positions in value‐added services
business, system and process security and mobile network development. Since 2005,
Lauri has also led Elisa SME teams in various international collaboration projects and
acquired a deep knowledge of the cyber security of legacy telecommunication networks,
in core, access networks, user terminals and modern virtualized data center IT platforms/cloud systems. From 2014, Lauri has headed SDN&NFV development in Elisa.
