Raj Kamal completed his M.Sc. at the age of 17, and published his first research paper in a UK journal and his first program, written in FORTRAN that ran at ICT 1904, at the age of 18 and completed his Ph.D. at the Indian Institute of Technology Delhi at 22. He is currently associated with Medicaps University, Indore, India. He pursued his postdoctoral studies (1978–79) at Uppsala University, Uppsala, Sweden. He has 49 years of experience in research and teaching and has published 142 research papers in respected national and international journals and conferences. His research interest areas include Internet of Things, data analytics, data visualization, app visualization, vehicular technology embedded systems, machine learning and fuzzy-logic-based expert systems, optical communication, spectroscopy, and material science.

Michael Henshaw is Professor of Systems Engineering; Head of the Systems Division at Loughborough University, UK and leads the Engineering Systems of Systems (EsoS) Research Group. His research focuses on integration and management of complex socio-technical systems, with a particular emphasis on the challenges of through-life management of systems and capabilities. Prof. Henshaw graduated in applied physics, and his early research focused on laser-plasma interactions, using computational fluid dynamics to investigate various phenomena in applications such as X-ray lasers. He joined British Aerospace (later BAE Systems) as an aerodynamicist and worked for seventeen years in aeronautical engineering tackling problems associated with unsteady aerodynamics (computational and experimental) and, later, multi-disciplinary integration. He was appointed to a chair in Systems Engineering at Loughborough in 2006 to direct the large (£4M) multi-university, multi-disciplinary programme sponsored by EPSRC and BAE Systems, NECTISE, which ran from November 2005–April 2009. He has an international reputation for his work in systems of systems. Prof. Henshaw’s research covers the themes of systems of systems, interoperability, through-life management, network enabled capability (NEC), autonomous systems, cyber security, and system lifecycles.

Pramod S. Nair is a Professor and Head of the Computer Science Department at Medi-Caps University, Indore. He has more than ten years of academic and research experience, together with seven years of industrial experience.
