About the Author:

Somaiyeh MahmoudZadeh completed PhD at the School of Computer Science, Engineering and Mathematics, Flinders University, Australia. She is acting as a postdoctoral research fellow in faculty of Information Technology at Monash University. Her area of research includes computational intelligence, autonomy and decision making, situational awareness, and motion planning of autonomous underwater vehicles.

Prof. David M W Powers is Professor of Computer Science and Director of the Centre for Knowledge and Interaction Technology and has research interests in the area of Artificial Intelligence and Cognitive Science. His specific research framework takes Language, Logic and Learning as the cornerstones for a broad Cognitive Science perspective on Artificial Intelligence and its practical applications. Prof. Powers is known as a pioneer in the area of Parallel Logic Programming, Natural Language Learning, Unsupervised Learning and Evaluation of Learning, and was Founding President of ACL SIGNLL, as well as initiating the CoNLL conference. His CV includes positions at Telecom Paris, University of Tilburg, University of Kaiserslautern, Macquarie University, as well as work with industry, and commercialization of research through several startup companies. Prof. Powers also serves on several programming committees and editorial boards and is Series Editor for the Springer book series on Cognitive Science and Technology.

Reza Bairam Zadeh has been graduated of Electronics Engineering in 2011 at University of Yamagata, Japan. He is experienced in Engine ECU technical coordination, electronic hardware programming, digital circuits designing, designing and testing heavy duty vehicles' Electronic Control Units (Engine ECU). His main research interests focus on robotics, smart structures, sensor data fusion and optimization, and intelligent control applications.
