Antonio Di Pietro earned his master's degree in Informatics Engineering at Sapienza University of Rome in 2004 and his Ph.D. in the same field at Roma Tre University in 2015. He has been working as a researcher at the Italian National Agency for New Technologies, Energy and Sustainable Economic Development (ENEA) since 2007. His current research activities include the modelling and simulation of critical infrastructures and the

development of decision support systems integrating natural hazard modelling. He took part in several European and Italian national research projects and acted as an advisor in some evaluation studies commissioned by the European Union in the field of critical infrastructure protection. Dr. Di Pietro has been the advisor of several MSc students and a professor in software engineering, programming language databases, cases, and distributed applications courses.

José R. Martí has a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the University of British Columbia (UBC), Vancouver, Canada. He is a professor at this institution, where he has made contributions to real-time solutions of large power networks and the modelling of interdependent critical infrastructures for resiliency and real-time response. Contributions include models for travelling wave propagation of electromagnetic waves, hydraulic waves,

seismic waves, and wildfire spread. He is the lead investigator of the Complex Systems Integration (CSI) Laboratory at the Institute for Computing, Information and Cognitive Systems (ICICS) at UBC. Current projects include considering the effect of climate change in risk evaluation, real-time earthquake early warning preparation and response, and real-time wildfire spread and suppression.
