Alfredo Núñez received the M.Sc. and Dr. degrees in electrical engineering, from the Electrical Engineering Department, Universidad de Chile, Santiago, Chile, in 2007 and 2010, respectively. He is currently a postdoc researcher at Delft Center for Systems and Control, Delft University of Technology. His main research interests are in predictive control, hybrid systems and control of transport systems. Cristián Cortés obtained the M.Sc. degree in Civil Engineering at University of Chile in 1995, and his Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering at University of California, Irvine in 2003. He is currently Assistant Professor at Civil Engineering Department, University of Chile. His research interests include public transport optimization, network optimization and equilibrium; simulation of transport system, control applied to dynamic transport problems. Dr. Cortés has published 22 papers in indexed ISI journals, and reports more than 50 citations in Conferences from different areas. From 2004, he has been a member of the Directory of the Chilean Society in Transport Engineering, and currently participates in several research projects at University of Chile funded by Government Agencies. Doris Sáez received the M.Sc. and Dr. degrees in electrical engineering from the Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Santiago, in 1995 and 2000, respectively. She is currently an Assistant Professor at the Electrical Engineering Department, Universidad de Chile, Santiago. Her current research interests include fuzzy systems control design, fuzzy identification, predictive control, control of power generation plants, and control of transport systems. Dr. Sáez has authored and coauthored more than 50 technical papers in international journals and conferences, and is author of the book Optimization of Industrial Processes at Supervisory Level: Application to Control of Thermal Power Plants (London: Springer-Verlag, 2002). Dr. Sáez is the Vice-president of the IEEE Chilean Section and a Co-Founder of the Chilean chapter of the IEEE Neural Networks Society.
