Prof. Sukanta Das currently works as an associate professor in the Department of Information Technology in Indian Institute of Engineering Science and Technology, Shibpur (formerly known as Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur). He received his Ph.D. in 2007 from Bengal Engineering and Science University, Shibpur, and master's in engineering in 2002 from Bengal Engineering College (DU) (currently known as IIEST, Shibpur) in Computer Science and Technology. He joined his alma mater as a faculty in 2003. He has been doing research in the different aspects of cellular automata for more than twenty years. His research area includes Cellular Automata: Theory and Applications. He is also a member of IFIP Working Group 1.5 (on "Cellular Automata and Discrete Complex Systems") and several programming committees for international conferences on cellular automata. He has more than 70 articles under his name. Currently, he is exploring the computational abilities of cellular automata, non-uniformity in cellular automata, chaos and randomness in cellular automata, and democracy and computation. Apart from the research, Prof. Das plays also an active role of science activist to advocate against pseudoscience, astrology, and mysticism, and to promote scientific outlook in society.

Prof. Genaro Martínez is a full-time researcher at the National Polytechnic Institute in Mexico City. He is an active member of several institutions and laboratories around the world, such as the International Unconventional Computing Laboratory at the University of the West of England in the United Kingdom; the Foundation of Computer Science Laboratory at the Hiroshima University in Japan; the Centre for Chaos and Complex Networks at the City University of Hong Kong in China; the Unconventional Algorithms and Computing Lab at the Technical University of Ostrava in Czech Republic; the Laboratoire de Recherche Scientifique in France; and the Institut des Systèmes Complexes en
