Dr. Neal Wagner is a Complex Systems Scientist, Analysis and Decision Systems Group, Systems and Technology Research, USA. Before this, he was technical staff member in the Cyber Analytics and Decision Systems Group at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. His focus lies in developing problem-solving methods, tools, and techniques that combine computational intelligence and modeling and simulation to create automated/semi-automated cyber decision-making systems. Prior to joining Lincoln Laboratory in 2013, he was at SolveIT Software, where he specialized in the commercialization of bio-inspired computing techniques for supply chain optimization of large organizations. His academic experience includes stints as a faculty member of the Computer Science and Information Systems Departments at Augusta University and Fayetteville State University. Dr. Wagner holds a BA degree in mathematics from the University of North Carolina at Asheville and an MS degree in computer science and a PhD degree in information technology, both from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte.

Prof. VB Gupta is Professor and Head, School of Data Science and Forecasting at Devi Ahilya University, Indore, India. His research interests are Mathematical Modelling, Simulation, Systems Engineering, and Data Science.

Prof. Atulya K. Nagar is Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research) and Professor of Mathematical Sciences and Computer Sciences at Liverpool Hope University, UK. He is also the Dean of Science and the Foundation Professor of Computer and Mathematical Sciences at Liverpool Hope University. He is also Head of Department of Computer Science Department. A mathematician by training, Prof. Nagar brings multi-disciplinary expertise in computational science, bioinformatics, operations research, and systems engineering to the Faculty of Business & Computer Sciences. He received a prestigious Commonwealth Fellowship for pursuing his Doctorate in applied non-linear mathematics, which he received from the University of York in 1996. Prof. Nagar is an internationally recognized scholar working at the cutting edge of theoretical computer science, applied mathematical analysis, operations research, and industrial systems engineering. The center of his research expertise lies in his IDS group, which pursues strategic and applied research into advancing applications of engineering, computational and biological systems. The research of the group seeks to contribute to the general body of knowledge and to influence IT practice in systems modelling and planning, scheduling, optimization, and informatics. One such innovative theme is DNA sequence analysis using sophisticated computational techniques. The work of the group is highly theoretical, and primarily benefits the scientific community, with demonstrable potential for practical applications and relevance to society as a whole. Prof. Nagar has published a substantial number of research papers in reputed outlets such as the IEE and IEEE publications. He has co-edited a volume on Intelligent Systems area and serves on editorial boards for a number of prestigious journals including the International Journal of Artificial Intelligence and Soft Computing, and the Journal of Universal Computer Science.
