Dr. Jagdish Chand Bansal is Associate Professor at South Asian University New Delhi and Visiting Faculty at Maths and Computer Science, Liverpool Hope University UK. Dr. Bansal has obtained his Ph.D. in Mathematics from IIT Roorkee. Before joining SAU New Delhi, he has worked as Assistant Professor at ABV-Indian Institute of Information Technology and Management Gwalior and BITS Pilani. His primary area of interest is Swarm Intelligence and Nature Inspired Optimization Techniques. Recently, he proposed a fission-fusion social structure-based optimization algorithm, Spider Monkey Optimization (SMO), which is being applied to various problems from engineering domain. He has published more than 70 research papers in various international journals/conferences. Snehanshu Saha holds Master’s Degree in Mathematical and Computational Sciences at Clemson University, USA, and Ph.D. from the Department of Applied Mathematics at the University of Texas at Arlington in 2008. He was the recipient of the prestigious Dean's Fellowship during Ph.D. and Summa Cum Laude for being in the top of the class. After working briefly at his Alma matter, Snehanshu moved to the University of Texas El Paso as a regular full-time faculty in the Department of Mathematical Sciences, University of Texas El Paso. Currently, He is  Professor of Computer Science and Engineering at PES University since 2011 and heads the Center for AstroInformatis, Modeling and Simulation. He is also Visiting Professor at the department of Statistics, University of Georgia, USA and BTS Pilani, India. Carlos A. Coello Coello (Fellow, IEEE) received the Ph.D. degree in computer science from Tulane University, New Orleans, LA, USA, in 1996.
