Massimiliano Zanin

Principal Researcher at Instituto de Física Interdisciplinar y Sistemas Complejos (IFISC), Palma de Mallorca, Spain.

My interest is mainly focus on the application of modelling tools (and especially complex networks theory and data mining) to a wide range of problems, from the air transport to the interactions within cells.

José Manuel Galán

José M. Galán is a Professor at the Department of Management Engineering. He received a M.Sc. in Industrial Engineering from the Universidad de Valladolid and a Ph.D. degree in Industrial and Civil Engineering from the Universidad de Burgos. His research has focused on computational modelling and simulation, especially on agent-based modelling. He initially combined analytical approaches together with simulation and, more recently, with network theory and statistical and machine learning. Former president of the Complex Sociotechnical Systems Association. Member of the European Social Simulation Association and the INSISOC research group.

M Emilia Cambronero

María Emilia Cambronero received a Ph.D. degree from the University of Castilla-La Mancha, in 2007, where she was an Assistant Professor for several years. She is currently an Associate Professor of computer science with Castilla-La Mancha University, Spain, obtaining the Tenure Distinction, in 2012. Her research goals are aimed to make the software more reliable, more secure, and easier to design. Her research interests include software engineering and related areas, including contract specification, program monitoring, testing, and verification.
