These programs are used by many scholars all around the world both for research and for teaching purposes.José I. Santos Martín is an Associate Professor in Industrial Organization with a background in Computer Modelling Information Systems and Economics. His main area of expertise is the modeling of Complex Systems. Most of his research focuses on the application of methods and techniques for the study of complex systems mainly agent-based modeling complex network theory and also machine learning techniques that facilitate the analysis of simulation models that generate large data sets. He has collaborated in more than 20 papers in journals such as PloS One Scientific Reports Royal Society Open Science and Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation.Juan J. Lavios is an Associate Professor in Industrial Organisation at the Higher Polytechnic School of Universidad de Burgos. His main research interests include distributed systems coordination mechanisms scheduling and multi-agent systems. He has taken part in several research projects regarding social and organizational modelling and production management: Multi-agent systems for the control of distributed job shop manufacturing systems (financed by the Spanish Ministry of Economic Affairs and Competitiveness ) and simulation of human behaviour (SIMULPAST). In the last few years he has been researching in sustainable production practices with a focus on the automotive sector. As for educational innovation he uses a wide range of methodologies to promote creativity and foster entrepreneurship.Virginia Ahedo is a research fellow and assistant lecturer in Complex Systems and Data Analysis at Universidad de Burgos.
