Anca Andreica ist derzeit ordentliche Professorin im Fachbereich Informatik an der Babes-Bolyai-Universität. Sie hat mehrere Forschungsprojekte und Projekte im Bereich Humanressourcen erfolgreich koordiniert und ist Leiterin der Fakultät für Informatik. Ihren Doktortitel erwarb sie im Bereich neuer evolutionärer Optimierungstechniken. Seit 2004 war Anca Andreica an zehn Forschungsprojekten beteiligt, davon an vier als Projektleiterin und an einem als Koordinatorin der Forschungsgruppe. Ihre Forschung konzentriert sich sowohl auf die Entwicklung konkurrenzfähiger intelligenter Berechnungsmethoden als auch auf die Anwendung solcher Methoden auf komplexe Optimierungsprobleme. Ihre Forschungsergebnisse betreffen daher neue Such- und Optimierungstechniken der künstlichen Intelligenz und neue Bildverarbeitungsmodelle. Ihre Forschungsergebnisse wurden in mehr als 80 hochrangigen Fachzeitschriften und Konferenzberichten veröffentlicht, mit insgesamt fast 300 Zitierungen, die die Bedeutung ihrer Forschungsergebnisse bestätigen.

Camelia Chira is an associate professor in computer science at Babes-Bolyai University (Romania) and researcher in computational intelligence as part of the Metaheuristics for Complex Systems research group. She obtained a Master in Science degree in 2002 and the PhD title in 2005 from Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (Ireland) in the area of agent-based systems for distributed collaborative design.  After obtaining the PhD, Camelia Chira continued her work in the area of multi-agent systems and artificial intelligence being affiliated with important institutions such as Babes-Bolyai University in Cluj-Napoca (Romania), Technological Institute of Castilla y Leon (Spain) and Technical University of Cluj-Napoca (Romania). She participated in several international research projects with results being exploited in industry or published in journals and conferences. She has served as a PC member to important conferences in the area of computational intelligence, PC chair and local organizer to several international conferences, reviewer for top journals in the area of artificial intelligence and complex systems. Current main research interests include computational intelligence, evolutionary algorithms, nature-inspired computing, complex systems and networks, multi-agent systems and bioinformatics. Research results have been disseminated in more than 100 publications including 2 books, 3 book chapters, 48 journal papers and 70 conference papers.

Laura Diosan is currently a full professor in the Department of Computer Science at Babes-Bolyai University (Romania) and researcher in computational intelligence as part of the Metaheuristics for Complex Systems research group. She obtained a Master in Science degree in 2004 and the PhD title in 2008 from INSA Rouen (France) in the area of evolutionary optimisation. Laura Diosan has a vast research experience participating in more than ten projects in the last 15 years, from which she coordinated three projects successfully completed. Her research areas cover evolutionary optimisation, swarm intelligence and machine learning with excellent research results obtained by different hybrid models given by evolutionary computation and kernel algorithms for image processing and classification. Another part of her research activity has been dedicated to self-adaptation of algorithms to the problem to be solved (to improve the quality of the solving/learning process) through the parameter optimisation and the fusion of information. Research results have been published in journals and conference papers obtaining more than 450 citations.
