Marija ilic Marija Ilic received her Doctor of Science Degree in Systems Science and Mathematics at Washington University in St. Lou-is, MO in 1980, and all other degrees in Electrical Engineering at the University of Belgrade, Serbia. She is currently a Profes-sor at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, with a joint appointment in the Electrical and Computer Engineering and Engineering and Public Policy Departments. She is the Director of the Electric Energy Systems Group, http://www.eesg.ece.cmu.edu/ and has co-authored several books. Most recently, she co-edited Engineering IT-Enabled Sustainable Electricity Service: The Tale of Two Low-Cost Green Azores Islands. This book is the first real power sys-tem repository of smart grid data, and the data is publicly available. Prof. Ilic is an IEEE Fellow.

Sheppard Salon received a PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of Pittsburgh. From 1970 to 1978 he was with Westinghouse Electric Corporation in the Large Rotating Apparatus Division in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He joined Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in 1978 where he is now emeritus Professor of Electric Computer and Systems
