Mohamed Abdel-Basset received his B.Sc., M.Sc., and the Ph.D. in Operations Research from Faculty of Computers and Informatics, Zagazig University, Egypt. His current research interests are Optimization, Operations Research, Data Mining, Computational Intelligence, Applied Statistics, Decision support systems, Robust Optimization, Engineering Optimization, Multi-objective Optimization, Swarm Intelligence, Evolutionary Algorithms, and Artificial Neural Networks. He is working on the application of multi-objective and robust meta-heuristic optimization techniques. He is also an/a Editor/reviewer in different international journals and conferences. He has published more than 150 articles in international journals and conference proceedings. He holds the program chair in many conferences in the fields of decision making analysis, big data, optimization, complexity and the internet of things, as well as editorial collaboration in some journals of high impact. Florentin Smarandache , PhD, PostDocs, is an Emeritus Professor of Mathematics at the University of New Mexico, United States. He got his MSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from the University of Craiova, Romania, PhD in Mathematics from the State University of Kishinev, and Postdoctoral in Applied Mathematics from Okayama University of Sciences, Japan, and The Guangdong University of Technology, Guangzhou, China. He is the founder of neutrosophy (generalization of dialectics), neutrosophic set, logic, probability and statistics since 1995 and has published hundreds of papers and books on neutrosophic physics, superluminal and instantaneous physics, unmatter, quantum paradoxes, absolute theory of relativity, redshift and blueshift due to the medium gradient and refraction index besides the Doppler effect, paradoxism, outerart, neutrosophy as a new branch of philosophy, Law of Included Multiple-Middle, multispace and multistructure, HyperSoft set, TreeSoft Set, IndetermSoft Set and IndetermHyperSoft Set, SuperHyperGraph, SuperHyperTopology, SuperHyperAlgebra, SuperHyperFunction, Neutrosophic SuperHyperAlgebra, degree of dependence and independence between neutrosophic components, refined neutrosophic set, neutrosophic over-under-off-set, plithogenic set / logic / probability / statistics, symbolic plithogenic algebraic structures, neutrosophic triplet and duplet structures, quadruple neutrosophic structures, extension of algebraic structures to NeutroAlgebra and AntiAlgebra, NeutroGeometry and AntiGeometry, NeutroTopology and AntiTopology, Refined Neutrosophic Topology, Refined Neutrosophic Crisp Topology, Dezert-Smarandache Theory and so on to many peer-reviewed international journals and many books and he presented papers and plenary lectures to many international conferences around the world. In addition, he published many books of poetry, dramas, children stories, translations, essays, a novel, folklore collections, traveling memories, and art albums.
