Nada Matta is Professor at the University of Technology of Troyes in France. Her work focuses on techniques in knowledge engineering and management, in particular how to handle cooperative activities. She is currently the director of the Safety, Security and Control of Complex Systems Group (GIS – 3SGS) and the UTT Department of Human, Environment and ICT.Yves Vandenboomgaerde is Scientific Head of the Safety, Security and Control of Complex Systems Group (GIS 3SGS), Scientific Advisor at CEA (the French Atomic Commission) and formerly Professor at Ecole Centrale Paris.Jean Arlat has been the director of LAAS-CNRS since 2011. He is also a member of the Board of Directors for the Society for Accelerating Technology Transfer of the French Investissements d'Avenir Program: Toulouse Tech Transfer and a member of the Steering Committee of the Thematic Network for Advanced Research on Sciences and Technologies for Aeronautics and Space and of the coordinating team of the Strategic Activity Area on Embedded Systems for the French Competitiveness Cluster Aerospace Valley. He has chaired the scientific committee of 3SGS since 2009.

"This is therefore a helpful contribution to the literature and a book that those in the nuclear industry in particular should have on their bookshelves."  (Industrial Systems and Control Ltd, 1 March 2013)
