Alexander Skabardonis is Adjunct Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering, and Director of California PATH at the University of California at Berkeley. His major research interests and areas of expertise include traffic flow theory, traffic management and control systems, transportation modeling and analysis, design and operation of transportation facilities, intelligent transportation systems, energy and the environment.

Carlos Daganzo is known for his theoretical contributions to econometrics, network theory, logistics, port operations and traffic flow. He is author of four books: Mulitnomial Probit: The Theory and its Application to Demand Forecasting (Academic Press, 1979), Fundamentals of Transportation and Traffic Operations (Pergamon-Elsevier, 1997), Logistics Systems Analysis (1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions, Springer-Verlag, 1991, 1996, 1999, 2005), and A Theory of Supply Chains (Springer, 2003).

Samer Madanat specializes in the problems of managing the maintenance and rehabilitation of transportation facilities. His research and teaching interests include infrastructure management and transportation investment decision making, with an emphasis on the econometric modeling of facility performance and the development of optimal resource allocation and intervention policies in the presence of prediction uncertainty. In 1999 he received the Science and Technology Award from the Office of the President of the University of California for his proposal to improve the way infrastructure maintenance decisions are made. The award is given annually to one faculty member in the UC system. He is the author more than 60 articles in refereed archival journals and refereed conference proceedings, including ?Analytical Solution for the Finite-Horizon Pavement Resurfacing Planning Problem?, Transportation Research, Part B, Vol. 40, No. 9, pp 767-778, 2006. In 2001, he was chosen to become the Editor-in- Chief of the ASCE Journal of Infrastructure Systems, for which he had served as one of the Associate Editors for several years.
