Dmitry Ivanov is professor of Supply Chain Management at Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR Berlin), deputy director and executive board member of Institute for Logistics, and director of master program in Global Supply Chain and Operations Management at HWR Berlin since 2011. He is leading working groups, tracks and sessions on Supply Chain Risk Management and Resilience in global research communities. He is a recipient of several prestigious Best Paper awards. He edits the International Journal of Integrated Supply Management, serves on Editorial Boards and is an Associate/Guest Editor in many international journals. His publication record counts more than 300 works, including around 60 research papers in international journals and leading books Global Supply Chain and Operations Management and Structural Dynamics and Resilience in Supply Chain Risk Management. His research is about supply chain risks and resilience, digital supply chain twins, and scheduling in cloud manufacturing and Industry 4.0.Alexandre Dolgui is the Distinguished Professor and Head of the Department of Automation, Production and Computer Sciences at IMT Atlantique in Nantes, France. He earned his M.Sc./Engineer in Automated Systems of Data Processing and Management (Valedictorian) at the Minsk Radioengineering Institute, Belarus, his Ph.D. in Engineering Cybernetics and Computer Aided Production Management at the Academy of Sciences of Belarus, Institute of Engineering Cybernetics, Minsk, Belarus and his Dr. Habil. in University of Technology of Compiègne, France. He is a Fellow of the European Academy for Industrial Management, Member of the Board of the International Foundation for Production Research and the Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Production Research (T&F). His more recent research projects include Optimization of the Global Supply Chain in Automotive Industry (for Renault Group), Warehouse Design, Localization and Optimization (for Casino Group), and Design, Balancing and Optimization of Disassembly Workshops for CEA (French Commissariat for Atomic Energy). He is also a co-author of a Springer title on Supply Chain Engineering. Boris Sokolov is the Head of the Laboratory for Information Technologies in Systems Analysis and Modeling at the St. Petersburg Institute of Informatics and Automation of the RAS (SPIIRAS) in St. Petersburg, Russia. From 2006 to 2017 he was Deputy Director for research of SPIIRAS. In 2008, he became an honored scientist in Russia. He is a Laureate of the Prize of the Government of the Russian Federation in the field of science and technology (2013). He is (co)-author of 7 monographs and books on system analysis, decision support systems, supply chain management, and systems and control theory, and of more than 570 scientific works published in various academic journals. His research interests are as follows: basic and applied research in integrated modelling, simulation, and mathematical methods in scientific research, optimal control theory, and mathematical models and methods of decision-making support in complex technical-organizational systems under uncertainties and with multi-criteria, and mobile IT in supply chain management processes. Over the past years, Professor Sokolov intensively developed an original applied theory of structural dynamics control.
