María Guinaldo received the M.S. degree in Physics, the B.S. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Salamanca in 2008, and the Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from UNED in July 2013. She has been with the Department of Computer Sciences and Automatic Control, UNED since 2008, where she is teaching and research assistant. She has been Ph.D. student visitor in international institutions such as the Automatic control labs in EPFL (2009), KTH (2010, 2011) and GipsaLab-Inria (2012). Her research interests include networked control systems, event-based control, multi-agent systems, and engineering education. She is or has been a reviewer for several journals such as Automatica, IEEE Transactions on Automatic Control, Systems and Control Letters, IET Control Theory and Applications, International Journal of Control, or Sensors.
Francisco R. Rubio received the Industrial Electrical Engineering degree and Doctorate from the "Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingenieros Industriales de Sevilla" in 1981 and 1985, respectively. He received the CITEMA award for the best work on automation by a young engineer in 1980. He is Professor in the Department of Systems Engineering and Automatic Control of the University of Seville.
He has been Head of Laboratory, Deputy Director of the School of Engineering and Head of the Department of Systems Engineering and Automation at the University of Seville. Member of the faculty at the University of Seville from 2000 to 2002 and has served in recent years on various committees at Department and Engineering School levels. He is also the head of the research group "Automation Engineering, Control and Robotics" (TEP-0201).
It has also been peer assessor of research projects and scientific journals and proceedings, and has served as evaluator of the Institutional Program of Quality and the University Professor Accreditation System for the National Agency for Assessment and Accreditation (ANECA, AgenciaNacional para la Evaluación y
