Tarik A. Rashid is a professor in the Computer Science and Engineering Department, School of Science and Engineering, University of Kurdistan Hewlêr, Erbil, KRG, Iraq. He received his Ph.D. degree in computer science and informatics from the Computer Science and Informatics Department, College of Engineering, Mathematical, and Physical Sciences, University College Dublin (UCD) in 2006. He was a Postdoctoral Fellow of the Computer Science and Informatics School, University College Dublin (UCD) from 2006 to 2007. His research covers three fields of interest. The first field is the expansion of machine learning and data mining to deal with time series applications. The second field is the development of DNA computing, optimization, swarm intelligence, and nature-inspired algorithms and their applications. The third field is networking, telecommunication and telemedicine applications. He has established collaborative relationships with several international research institutions and published over 100 research articles in internationally refereed books, journals and conferences.Chinmay Chakraborty is an Assistant Professor (Sr.) in the Department of Electronics and Communication Engineering, BIT Mesra, India. His primary areas of research include wireless body area network, internet of medical things, energy efficient wireless communications and networking and point-of-care diagnosis. He authored the books PSTN-IP Telephony Gateway for Ensuring QoS in Heterogeneous Networks (2014), Advanced Classification Techniques for Healthcare Analysis (2019) and Smart Medical Data Sensing and IoT Systems Design in Healthcare (2019). He is an Editorial Board Member in the Journal of Wireless Communication Technology, Int. Journal of Telecomm. Engg., etc. and also a member of the International Advisory Board for Malaysia Technical Scientist Congress and the Machine Intelligence Research Labs. He received a young research excellence award, Global Peer Review Award, Young Faculty Award and Outstanding Researcher Award.Kym Fraser is a researcher at the Future Industries Institute, University of South Australia, Adelaide, Australia. He also holds professorships at the University of Brawijaya, Indonesia, University of Kurdistan Hewlêr, Iraq and Aalborg University, Denmark. Before becoming an academic, he spent 25 years in practice in the areas of operations, service and quality management. Since entering academia his research efforts have tended to fall within the broad field of business and management. He has published in top-tier journals such as International Journal of Production Research, Journal of Biomedical Science; Computer Methods and Programs in Biomedicine, Sustainability, Studies in Higher Education to name a few. He has established collaborative relationships with five international research institutions and published over 80 research articles in internationally refereed books, journals and conferences.
