Member of the "Laboratoire de combinatoire et d'informatique mathématique" (LaCIM) of Université du Québec à Montréal, that initially explored the interplay between combinatorics and computer science. In the mid 90s, it began to include computational biology in the mix.
I received the Laurea degree in Computer Science Engineering from the University of Naples Federico II, Italy, in 2003 and the Ph.D. degree in Information Engineering from the University of Sannio in 2007.
Since 2003 I have worked as a researcher in the field of software engineering writing more than 90 papers published in journals and conference proceedings. My main research interests include software maintenance and testing, software reuse, software reverse engineering, and re-engineering, with a particular interest in software modularization.
I also served both as a member of the program and organizing committees of several international conferences, and as a reviewer of papers submitted to some of the main journals and magazines in the field of data and process mining, software engineering, software maintenance, program comprehension, and the application of computational intelligence approaches in the above fields.
Currently, I am an Senior Researcher at University of Sannio, holding the course of "Pervasive Computing".
Gorka Bidegain (GB) is a Senior Lecturer of the University of the Basque Country at the Department of Applied Mathematics. His main research interests lie within marine ecological and population dynamics modelling, including disease ecology and pathogen transmission. He conducts laboratory/field experiments and uses advanced mathematical and computational ecological modelling techniques to identify and asses the population and ecosystem responses to pressures and ecological and environmental heterogeneities. GB is developing new models, methodologies and algorithms with implications for the understanding of how climate variability interacts with marine populations and host-pathogen systems.
GB has participated in more than 20 national and international R&D competitive projects including three EU projects and three National Science Foundation (NSF). GB has published more than 25 articles in top rank peer reviewed journals, 3 book chapters, several scientific/technical reports and open access computer codes and Graphical User Interface for disease modelling (R, Matalab).
He is member of the Ecology of Infectious Marine Diseases Research Coordination Network (EIMD-RCN) (Cornell University, USA). He is also member of the Marine Biological Association and the Estuarine and Coastal Sciences Association
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 a Full Professor of computer science with Castilla-La Mancha University, Spain. 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.

Louise Dennis is a Reader at the University of Manchester.
Her background is in artificial intelligence and more specifically in agent and autonomous systems and automated reasoning. She has worked on the development of several automated reasoning and theorem proving tools, most notably the Agent JPF model checker for BDI agent languages; the lambda-clam proof planning system (also archived at the Theorem Prover Museum); and the PROSPER Toolkit for integrating an interactive theorem prover (HOL) with automated reasoning tools (such as SAT solvers) and Case/CAD tools. More recently she has investigated rational agent programming languages and architectures for autonomous systems, with a particular emphasis on verifiable systems and ethical reasoning.
Chiara Ghidini is a senior Research Scientist at Fondazione Bruno Kessler (FBK), Trento, Italy, where she heads the Process & Data Intelligence (PDI) research unit.

Her scientific work in the areas of Semantic Web, Knowledge Engineering and Representation, Multi-Agent Systems and Process Mining is internationally well known and recognised, and she has made significant scientific contributions in the areas of: formal semantics for contextual reasoning and multi-context logics; formal frameworks for the specification of deliberative resource bounded agents; ontology mappings and integration; collaborative modeling platforms, and predictive business process monitoring.
Dr. Ghidini has actively been involved in the organisation of several workshops and conferences on multiagent systems, Contexts-based representations, Knowledge Engineering, and Semantic Web, and has served as programme committee member for most of the top international conferences in these areas.
She has been involved in a number of international research projects, among which the FP7 Organic.Lingua and SO-PC-Pro European projects, a well as industrial projects in collaboration with companies in the Trentino area.
Marieke Huisman is a professor in Software Reliability, leading the Formal Methods and Tools group at the Univ. of Twente, Netherlands. She obtained her PhD in 2001 from the Univ. of Nijmegen, in the area of semantics and verification of sequential Java programs. She worked 8 years at INRIA Sophia Antipolis, France on verification of concurrent programs. In 2008 she joined the UT. She leads the development of the VerCors program verifier for concurrent software. For this work, she has received the support of several personal grants, such as an ERC Starting Grant, and a Vici grant from the Dutch Science Organisation. She has been chairing Versen, the Dutch association of software researchers, and works hard to improve the overall visibility of software research.
