Tim Jax  is Postdoc at University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg and German Aerospace Center, Cologne. He received his doctorate at Institute of Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computational Mathematics (IMACM) at the University of Wuppertal. His field of research is the enhancement of Rosenbrock-Wanner-Type Methods towards W-methods for DAEs and applications in network simulation.

Andreas Bartel  has his habilitation and is lecturer at the chair of applied mathematics within the Institute of Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computational Mathematics (IMACM) at the University of Wuppertal. His research interests include modelling and simulation for computational engineering, in particular coupled systems (PDAEs) and time domain methods. 

Matthias Ehrhardt  is a professor of applied mathematics and numerical analysis at the IMACM, the Institute of Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computational Mathematics at the University of Wuppertal, Germany. His research focus in the numerical treatment of partial differential equations, especially on unbounded domains and numerical methods in computational finance. 

Michael Günther  is a full professor of applied mathematics at the IMACM, the Institute of Mathematical Modelling, Analysis and Computational Mathematics at the University of Wuppertal, Germany. His main field of research is modelling, analysis and numerical simulation of time-dependent coupled heterogeneous problems with applications in computational engineering, computational finance and computational physics. 

Gerd Steinebach  is professor of mathematics and research representative in the field of modelling and simulation in the Institute of Technology, Resource and Energy-Efficient Engineering at University of Applied Sciences Bonn-Rhein-Sieg. His areas of specialization are numerical methods for differential-algebraic systems with applications in energy and fluid flow network simulation.
