Dragutin Mihailovic is a retired Professor in Meteorology, Environmental Fluid Mechanics, and Biophysics at the University of Novi Sad (Serbia). He obtained his B.Sc. in Physics and his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Meteorology at the University of Belgrade (Serbia). He was the Visiting Professor or Researcher at institutions in USA, Netherlands, and Norway. He has more than 200 peer-reviewed scientific papers in international journals and a monograph on subjects related to land-atmosphere processes, air pollution, chemical transport modeling, boundary layer meteorology, physics and modeling of phenomena on environmental interfaces, modeling of complex systems, nonlinear dynamics, and complexity. He was among the editors of six monographs and coauthored a book on the modeling of environmental surfaces (Elsevier). Prof. Mihailovic was the principal investigator in the FP6 project and several international projects (the University of Athens, the Colorado State University, and the University at Albany-SUNY), a member of the Editorial Board of Environmental Modelling and Software (1992-2010), and a reviewer in several international journals.

Darko Kapor is the retired Professor of Theoretical and Mathematical Physics at the University of Novi Sad (Serbia). He received his B.Sc. and Ph.D. in Physics at the University of Novi Sad and M. Sc, at the University of Belgrade (Serbia). His main research interest is Theoretical Condensed Matter Physics. He was the head of several research projects. Later he developed an interest in theoretical meteorology. He has more than 120 peer-reviewed scientific papers in international journals and chapters in research monographs and coauthored a book on environmental surfaces (Elsevier). He spent some time visiting laboratories in France, USA, and Hungary. Prof. Kapor invested much effort in Physics popularization by working with talented pupils and teachers and organizing Physics problems solving contests. His experience from this work
