Dr. Manish Chaturvedi is currently an assistant professor of Computer Science at Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management (IITRAM), Ahmedabad Gujarat, India. Before joining IITRAM, he worked at Nirma University (2003-2016) and Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (2017-2019) as an assistant professor of Computer Science. Manish has earned his Ph D degree in ICT from Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of ICT (DA-IICT), India. His research interests include the design of intelligent transportation systems, embedded systems and Io T, scalable protocol design for large distributed systems, and the application of ICT for solving problems of societal importance. He has academic and research interests in the domain of distributed data structures, peer to peer content sharing, and blockchain framework. He has extensively worked on the ICT application in the domain of intelligent transportation systems. His work has been published in the reputed journals and conferences such as IEEE Transactions on Intelligent Transportation Systems, Pervasive and Mobile Computing Elsevier, ITSC, ICDCN, VTC, and COMSNETS to name a few. Dr. Pankesh Patel is an applied research scientist and educator in the area of system and software engineering. He focuses on building software development methodologies and tools to easily develop applications in the cross section of software engineering, Internet of things, and industrial Internet of things. Currently, he is an associate professor at University of South Carolina, USA and a senior research scientist at the AI Institute, University of South Carolina, USA. He is also a Marie-Curie Fellow at SFI Confirm Center for Smart Manufacturing, Data Science Institute, NUI Galway, Ireland. Before joining this position, he was Senior Research Scientist at Fraunhofer USA—Center for Experimental Software Engineering (CESE) from August 2017 to January 2019. At Fraunhofer USA, his focus was on implementation of industrial Internet of things (IIo T) techniques and methodologies in commercial environments. He worked as Research Scientist in the Industrial Software System (ISS) group at ABB Corporate Research-India from 2014 to 2017. He obtained his Ph D in Computer Science from the University of Paris VI (UPMC), France, with a “highest honors” (“Tres Honorable” in French) title. His Ph D was funded by the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control (INRIA), Paris, France. Dr. Ram Narayan Yadav is currently working as Assistant Professor in the area of Computer Science and Engineering at Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management (IITRAM), Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India. Before joining IITRAM, He was working as Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Indian Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Dharwad, India (January 2019–December 2019). He received his Ph D in Computer Science and Engineering from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Patna, India, in 2017. During his Ph D, he worked on development of the opportunistic spectrum access algorithms for cognitive radio networks. His research interests include algorithmic graph theory, approximation algorithms, distributed algorithms, spectrum assignments, and connectivity problems in computer networks. Previously, he received MTech in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) from Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Jodhpur, in 2013. He also worked as Postdoc with Prof. Andrzej Pelc at the University of Quebec (UQO), Canada (2018–2019).
