Intelligent Decision Technologies

Ireneusz Czarnowski is a professor at the Gdynia Maritime University. He holds B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electronics and Communication Systems from the same University. He gained the doctoral degree in the field of computer science in 2004 at Faculty of Computer Science and Management of Poznan University of Technology. In 2012, he earned a postdoctoral degree in the field of computer science in technical sciences at Wroclaw University of Science and Technology. His research interests include artificial intelligence, machine learning, evolutionary computations, multi-agent systems, data mining and data science. He is an associate editor of the Journal of Knowledge-Based and Intelligent Engineering Systems, published by the IOS Press, and a reviewer for several scientific journals. Dr. Robert Howlett is the executive chair of KES International, a non-profit organization that facilitates knowledge transfer and the dissemination of research results in areas including intelligent systems, sustainability and knowledge transfer.  He is a visiting professor at Bournemouth University in the UK. His technical expertise is in the use of intelligent systems to solve industrial problems. He has been successful in applying artificial intelligence, machine learning and related technologies to sustainability and renewable energy systems; condition monitoring, diagnostic tools and systems; and automotive electronics and engine management systems.  His current research work is focused on the use of smart microgrids to achieve reduced energy costs and lower carbon emissions in areas such as housing and protected horticulture. Dr. Lakhmi C. Jain, Ph.D., M.E., B.E.(Hons), fellow (Engineers Australia) is with the University of Technology Sydney, Australia, and Liverpool Hope University, UK. Professor Jain serves the KES International for providing a professional community the opportunities for publications, knowledge exchange, cooperation and teaming. Involving around 5,000 researchers drawn from universities and companies worldwide, KES facilitates international cooperation and generates synergy in teaching and research. KES regularly provides networking opportunities for professional community through one of the largest conferences of its kind in the area of KES.
