**Alfredo Milani** (Professor) is an Associate Professor at the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Perugia, Italy. He received his doctoral degree in Information Science from the University of Pisa, Italy. His research interests include the broad area of artificial intelligence with a focus on evolutionary algorithms, and applications to planning, user interfaces, e-learning, and web-based adaptive systems. He is the author of many international journal papers and chair of international conferences and workshops. He is the scientific leader of the KitLab research lab at the University of Perugia.

**Arturo Carpi** is a full professor at the Univesity of Perugia, Italy. His research interests include theoretical aspects of coding, languages, and context-free grammar, on which he has authored several relevant articles. Recently, he has also been active in the area of memetic particle swarm evolution.

**Valentina Poggioni** (Doctor) is an Assistant Professor and Researcher in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Perugia in Italy, where she teaches Machine Learning, Data Mining, and Artificial Intelligence. She attained her Ph.D. at the University "Roma Tre" in Rome, where she studied automated planning and temporal and multivalued logics. Currently, her main interests are in evolutionary computation and machine learning with a particular focus on neural networks, and the application of evolutionary algorithms to neural network optimization.
