Marco Ottavi is currently an Associate Professor at the University of Rome Tor Vergata. He received the Laurea degree (M.Sc.) in Electronic Engineering from the University of Rome La Sapienza in 1999 and the Ph.D. in Telecommunications and Microelectronics from the the University of Rome Tor Vergata in 2004. From 2003 to 2007 he was visiting scholar and research associate at Northeastern University in Boston (USA). In 2006 he was invited to Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque (USA) as a visiting research scholar. In 2007 he became a U.S. permanent resident through the prestigious EB1 visa intended for outstanding researchers. From 2007 to 2009 he was with Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) in Boxborough (USA) as a Senior Design Engineer. In 2009 he joined the University of Rome Tor Vergata as the recipient of a "Rientro dei Cervelli" (reverse brain drain) fellowship awarded by the Italian Ministry of University. His research focuses on reliability of electronic systems at nanoscale. On these topics he published 6 books chapters and about 100 contributions to international conferences, peer-reviewed journals in which he serves also as organizer and reviewer. From 2011 he is the chair of the European project COST IC1103 MEDIAN (Manufacturable and Dependable Multicore Architectures at Nanoscale). He is senior member of IEEE.

Dimitris Gizopoulos is Professor at the Department of Informatics & Telecommunications, of National and Kapodistrian University of Athens where he leads the Computer Architecture Laboratory since 2011. Previously, he led for ten years the Computer System Laboratory of the University of Piraeus. His research focuses on the dependability, performance and power of computer architectures. Gizopoulos has published more than 150 papers in peer reviewed IEEE and ACM journals and conferences, is an inventor of US patents, author of a book and editor of two more on testing and fault tolerance. He served as associate editor of
