He has received many distinguished awards including Best Scientific Paper Award of ICPR2013. He is the principal investigator of many projects in biomedical engineering and image analysis, funded by the Japanese Government. Prof. Satoshi Tanaka got his Ph.D. in theoretical physics at Waseda University, Japan, in 1987. After experiencing assistant professors, a senior lecturer, and an associate professor at Waseda University and Fukui University, he became a professor at Ritsumeikan University in 2002. His current research target is computer visualization of complex 3D shapes such as 3D scanned cultural heritage objects, inside structures of a human body, and fluid simulation results. He was the vice president of Visualization Society of Japan (VSJ), the president of Japan Society for Simulation Technology (JSST), and the president of ASIASIM (Federation of Asia Simulation Societies). Currently, he works as a cooperation member of Japan Science Council. He receivedbest paper awards at Asia Simulation Conference (2012 and 2022), Journal of Advanced Simulation in Science and Engineering in 2014, and many others. Robert Howlett is the Academic Chair of KES International a non-profit organisation which facilitates knowledge transfer and the dissemination of research results in areas including Intelligent Systems, Sustainability, and Knowledge Transfer. He is Visiting Professor at 'Aurel Vlaicu' University of Arad, Romania, and has also been Visiting Professor at Bournemouth University, UK. His technical expertise is in the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning for the solution of industrial problems. His current interests centre on the application of intelligent systems to sustainability, particularly renewable energy, smart / micro grids and applications in housing and glasshouse horticulture. He previously developed a national profile in knowledge and technology transfer, and the commercialisation of research. He works with a number of universities and international research groups on the supervision teams of PhD students, and the provision of technical support for projects. Professor Lakhmi C. Jain, PhD, Dr H.C., ME, BE(Hons), Fellow (Engineers Australia), is with the University of Arad. He was formerly with the University of Technology Sydney, the University of Canberra and Bournemouth University.
Professor Jain founded the KES International for providing a professional community the opportunities for publications, knowledge exchange, cooperation and teaming. Involving around 5,000 researchers drawn from universities and companies world-wide, KES facilitates international cooperation and generate synergy in teaching and research. KES regularly provides networking opportunities for professional community through one of the largest conferences of its kind in the area of KES.
His interests focus on the artificial intelligence paradigms and their applications in complex systems, security, e-education, e-healthcare, unmanned air vehicles and intelligent agents.

Prof. Yen-Wei Chen於1985年從日本神戶大學獲得學士學位。他於1987年獲得碩士學位，並於1990年獲得博士學位，兩者均來自日本大阪大學。他曾在日本大阪的激光技術研究所擔任研究員，任期為1991年至1994年。從1994年10月至2004年3月，他在日本沖繩大學的電氣電子工程系擔任副教授和教授。他目前是日本立命館大學資訊科學與工程學院的教授，也是中國浙江大學計算機科學與技術學院的客座教授。他曾於2003年在英國牛津大學和2010年在美國賓夕法尼亞州立大學擔任訪問學者。他的研究興趣包括醫學影像分析和計算機視覺。他發表了300多篇研究論文，並獲得了包括ICPR2013最佳科學論文獎在內的多個傑出獎項。他是日本政府資助的生物醫學工程和影像分析領域的多個項目的首席調查員。

Prof. Satoshi Tanaka於1987年在日本早稻田大學獲得理論物理學博士學位。在早稻田大學和福井大學擔任助理教授、高級講師和副教授後，他於2002年成為立命館大學的教授。他目前的研究目標是計算機可視化技術在複雜三維形狀上的應用，例如三維掃描的文化遺產物體、人體內部結構和流體模擬結果。他曾擔任日本可視化學會（VSJ）副會長、日本模擬技術學會（JSST）主席和亞洲模擬學會聯合會（ASIASIM）主席。目前，他是日本科學委員會的合作成員。他在2012年和2022年的亞洲模擬會議、2014年的《高級科學與工程模擬期刊》等多個場合獲得了最佳論文獎。

Robert Howlett是KES International的學術主席，該組織是一個非營利組織，促進智能系統、可持續性和知識轉移等領域的知識傳遞和研究成果的傳播。他是羅馬尼亞阿拉德奧雷爾·弗萊庫大學的客座教授，也曾是英國伯恩茅斯大學的客座教授。他的技術專長是利用人工智能和機器學習解決工業問題。他目前的研究興趣集中在智能系統在可持續性方面的應用，特別是可再生能源、智能/微型電網以及住房和溫室園藝的應用。他曾在知識和技術轉移以及研究商業化方面建立了國家知名度。他與多所大學和國際研究團隊合作，擔任博士生指導小組成員，並提供項目的技術支持。
