​Moshe Dror joined the Eller College of Management in 1990 and previously taught at Ben Gurion University. He earned his Ph D in Management Science from the University of Maryland in 1983. His research focuses on cooperative game theory, cost allocation in inventory and supply chain management, applied combinatorial optimization in transportation, logistics and manufacturing and intelligent solution systems for operations scheduling. Pierre L’Ecuyer is a Professor in the Departement d’Informatique et de Recherche Operationnelle at the Universite de Montreal, since 1990. He holds the Canada Research Chair in Stochastic Simulation and Optimization since 2004 and an Inria International Chair (at Inria-Rennes, France) for 2013–2018. He is a member of the CIRRELT and GERAD research centers, in Montreal. Ferenc Szidarovszky is a senior researcher with the Ridgetop Group Inc. working on theoretical issues concerning reliability, robustness, optimal maintenance and replacement policies and prognostics in complex systems. In addition to these industrial applications he also performs research in systems theory, especially in dynamic economic systems. He has performed research in very broad fields of applied mathematics including numerical analysis, optimization, multi-objective programming, game theory, dynamic systems, applied probability and their applications in industrial processes, environment, water resources management, economics, and computer network security, among others. He currently has a professor position with the Applied Mathematics Department of the University of Pecs, Hungary, where his duty is a one week long intensive Game Theory Course every year.
