Prof. Igor Farkaš has been working (since 2015) as the head of the Department of Applied Informatics at FMFI UK in Bratislava and professionally focused  in the field of artificial intelligence, specializing in the so-called a subsymbol, nature-inspired approach using neurocomputing. He has long been concerned with the study of computational properties of various models of artificial neural networks and their use in modeling cognitive functions (eg first modeling of natural language, later cognitive robotics). He worked in the USA (Fulbright scholarship and as a post doctoral student) and Germany (Humboldt scholarship). He leads the national projects VEGA, APVV and KEGA. He is the co-author of about 100 papers in international journals a…

A director of the Institue of Informatics SAS and a head of a Modelling and simulation of discrete processes department. Her research interests include discrete systems modelling and simulation, multi agent systems, artificial intelligence, and complex systems. She is oriented on application of bio-inspired methods on various domains, e.g. manufacturing, production lines optimizations, supply chain management, control and coordination of a group of mobile agents. Recently  she works on problems conneted to swarm intelligence and swarm robotics. She is an author and co-author of more than 100 research papers with above 120 citations on them. She is a supervisor and a consultant for PhD study at the Slovak University of Technology in Brati…
