About the Author:

Massimo Paolucci received a PhD in electronic and computer science in 1990. He is Associate Professor in Operations Research at the Department of Informatics, Bioengineering, Robotics, and System Engineering (DIBRIS) of the University of Genoa. His research activities are focused on metaheuristic and matheuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems, planning and scheduling, decision support systems, and multi-criteria methods. Reference fields of application are intermodal logistics and shipping, and manufacturing.

Anna Sciomachen is Full Professor of Operations Research at the Department of Economics and Business Studies, University of Genoa, where she is Coordinator of the Master of Science in Management of Maritime and Port Enterprises and teaches Optimization and simulation methods for logistics. She is a past President of the Italian Society of Operations Research. Her main research fields are: optimization models and heuristic methods in distributive logistics and multimodal transportation networks, liner problems, stowage planning, simulation techniques for performance analysis, and location-routing problems.

Pierpaolo Uberti received his PhD in Mathematics for Financial Markets from the University of Milano-Bicocca in 2010 for a dissertation on "Higher Moments Asset Allocation". Since 2011 he has been a researcher at the University of Genoa. His research interests cover the fields of quantitative finance, optimization, portfolio selection, and risk measures.
