Cyrille Bertelle is Full Professor in Computer Science at LITIS, Normandy University – Le Havre, France. He is also Director of SFLog, Research Federation in Logistics, Normandy. His current research interests and projects concern Complex Systems Modelling and Simulation, Complex Networks for Territorial Intelligence and Logistics Systems, and Blockchains for Smart Ports.Nathan Gouin has a PhD in Geography and Planning from the University of Rouen in 2020. He worked as Post-Doctoral Fellow to coordinate the Paris Megaregion project and since 2021 he has been Research Engineer at the University of Le Havre, in charge of the scientific steering of the GIS Institute for a smart logistics in Seine Valley. His scientific work focuses on political geography, regionalization and inter-territorial cooperation.Antoine Frémont is Professor at the Conservatoire National des Arts et Métiers, holding the chair of transport, flows and sustainable mobility. His research focuses on maritime transport, containerization and globalization; the organization of intermodal transport chains; combined transport and modal shift in Europe; and regional planning of metropolitan logistics.
