George Anders completed hisD.Sc (Habilitation) in Electrical Engineering at the University of Lodz, and is a professor in the Faculty of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Technical University of Lodz, Poland. He is also Principal Engineer-Scientist at Kinectrics Inc., Toronto, Canada and Adjunct Professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Toronto, Canada. Alfredo Vaccaro received his MSc degree cum laude and commendation in Electronic Engineering from the University of Salerno. He has been Research Scientist and Adjunct Professor of Electric Power Systems at the Department of Engineering of University of Sannio since 2002. His fields of interest include electric power system analysis, cooperative smart sensor networks for protection and diagnostics of complex electricity systems, integration of distributed generation systems on electrical networks, soft computing and interval based methodologies in power systems reliability analysis.
