Cao Bingyuan is a professor at Guangzhou University. Doctoral (postdoctoral) supervisor; Lingnan Second Class Chair Professor at Foshan University of Science and Technology; President of the Fuzzy Information and Engineering (FIE) Branch of the China Operations Research Society, the Guangdong Provincial Operations Research Society, and the Guangdong Hong Kong Macao Operations Research Society; Chairman of the International FIE Association (soon to be established) and lifelong editor in chief of the FIE magazine at Tsinghua University. In 1987, he was the first to propose “Fuzzy Geometric Programming” and published over 190 papers (many in Top and Q1 journals). He was also the editor in chief of over 10 Springer books. Received 2 International FIE Society Achievement Awards, 3 Provincial Science and Technology Awards, 1 Springer Most Popular Textbook by Readers, and ranked 5th in the 2021 Optimization Top 100 by Elsevier Sci Val. Prof. Shu-Feng Wang is Director of the Pearl River Delta Regional Logistics Research Center, Guangdong Baiyun University, Professor of Logistics Economics, and Master Supervisor. His main research interests include transportation economics, logistics economics, digital economics, and international trade. In the past five years, he has focused on the evolution and system integration of digital logistics theory, the efficiency of regional logistics resource allocation, the systematic reconstruction of the industrial value chain in the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, the generation mechanism of systematic enterprise operation capability and its cultivation research. He has presided over and completed more than 20 scientific research projects including provincial and ministerial projects and published 5 academic works and teaching materials such as “Regional Logistics Theory and Empirical Research, ” “Transportation Management, ” “Logistics System Planning and Design Theory and Method, ” and more than 50 academic papers. Seyed Hadi Nasseri received the Ph D degree on “fuzzy mathematical programming” from Sharif University of Technology (SUT), Iran, in 2007. Since 2007, he has been a faculty member at the Faculty of Mathematical Sciences, University of Mazandaran, Iran. During this program, he got JASSO Research Scholarship from the Department of Industrial Engineering and Management, Tokyo Institute and Technology (TIT), Tokyo, Japan during 2006–2007. Recently, in 2018, he completed a postdoctoral program at the Department of Industrial Engineering, Sultan Qaboos University, Oman, on logistic under uncertainty conditions. Also, he has been a visiting professor with the Department of Mathematics and Big Data, Foshan University, China, since 2018. He has been the council member of the International Association of Fuzzy Information and Engineering, a standing director of the International Association of Grey Systems and Uncertainty Analysis since 2016, and the president of Iranian Operations Research Society. He also stablished the International Center of Optimization and Decision Making in 2014 and the Research Center of Optimization and Logistics, University of Mazandaran, Babolsar, Iran in 2021. His research interests include the areas of fuzzy mathematical models and methods, fuzzy arithmetic, fuzzy optimization and decision making, operations research, gray systems, and logistics and transportation. Prof. Yu-Bin Zhong received his bachelor”s degree and master”s degree from Beijing Normal University and currently works as Professor at the School of Mathematics and Information Science, Guangzhou University, China. His main research direction is fuzzy system and artificial intelligence, operations research and control, systems engineering and intelligent algorithm, hyperalgebraic structure, and mathematical theory of knowledge representation. He has published more than 30 papers in core journals, including more than 20 in SCI and EI, and presided over and researched more than ten teaching and scientific research projects.
