Adrian V. Gheorghe is a professor of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering and the Batten Endowed Chair in System of Systems Engineering at the Department of Engineering Management and Systems Engineering at Old Dominion University (Norfolk, Virginia, USA). He holds an M.Sc. in Electrical Engineering from the Faculty of Power Engineering, Bucharest Polytechnic Institute (Bucharest, Romania), an MBA from Academy of Economic Studies (Bucharest, Romania), an M.Sc. in Engineering Economics from Bucharest Polytechnic Institute, (Bucharest, Romania) and a Ph.D. in Systems Science/Systems Engineering from City University (London, U.K.) He is an editor for several international scientific journals and a member of numerous scientific boards. He has published several books, including 'Emergency Planning Knowledge' (VdF Verlag, 1996), 'Critical infrastructures at risk: Securing the European electric power system' (Springer, 2006), and 'Critical infrastructures: Risk and vulnerability assessment in transportation of dangerous goods - Transportation by road and rail' (Springer, 2016). Dan V. Vamanu is a senior researcher at Horia Hulubei National Institute of Physics and Nuclear Engineering (Bucharest, Romania). He holds a Ph.D. in Theoretical Physics (1978). He originally worked in the field of quantum theory of solids, publishing on elementary excitations - phonons and magnons in thin films and impure crystals. He co-authored a review on thin magnetic films in the American Encyclopedia Solid State Physics (vol. 27, Academic Press), and the book- 'Emergency Planning Knowledge' (VdF Verlag, 1996), 'Integrated Risk and Vulnerability Management Assisted by Decision Support Systems: Relevance and Impact on Governance' (Springer, 2005) and 'Critical Infrastructures at Risk: Securing the European Electric Power System' (Springer, 2006). Polinpapilinho F. Katina is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the National Centers for System ofSystems Engineering and an adjunct
