Alexander Schirrer drives research in robust, optimal and model-predictive control, as well as system modeling and parameter identification at TU Wien, Austria. His publication record comprises high-ranking journal articles in control and system theory, many scientific conference papers, as well as peer-reviewed book chapters and book editorials. He teaches university courses in control theory and gives regular international guest lectures on control and modeling subjects. He served as an associate editor for the IEEE European Control Conference and is a regular invited reviewer in the IEEE and IFAC control communities.

Alexander L. Gratzer gained his MSc and BSc degrees from TU Wien, Austria, in 2018 and 2015, respectively, where he is currently a project assistant. His main areas of research are control theory and applications, modeling and simulation, and optimization, with a particular focus on system identification and model-predictive control(MPC) in theory and applications. In process control applications, he developed structured black-box system identification methods and MPC concepts. In car-platooning applications, he is engaged in design and simulation of cooperative distributed MPC concepts, including nonlinear dynamics and mixed-integer problems.

Sebastian Thormann gained his MSc and BSc degrees in mechanical engineering from TU Wien, Austria, in 2020 and 2017, respectively. He was a student project team member at the Institute of Mechanics and Mechatronics at the same university. During this project work, he developed a cooperative model predictive control concept including a custom co-simulation framework for truck platooning within the Austrian lead project Connecting Austria. He is currently working toward the PhD degree with the Automation and Control Institute at the same university.

Stefan Jakubek gained his PhD from the faculty of Mechanical Engineering, TU Wien in 2000.He is a professor at TU Wien, where he has been the head of the Institute of Mechanics and Mechatronics since 2016. He is a member of the Scientific Board of the Christian Doppler Research Association. He has published over 50 journal articles, over 90 conference papers, and five book chapters, in the field of mechanical engineering.

Matthias Neubauer is a professor at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria for Logistics Information Systems. His research interests cover hyperconnected logistics systems, human–computer interaction, digital supply chains, intelligent transportation systems as well as connected and automated driving. He received his PhD in Business Information Systems in 2013. Matthias teaches in the fields of BPM, distributed systems, knowledge management, and digital transport and logistics management. Beyond, he is involved in international and national research projects.

Wolfgang Schildorfer is a professor for Transport Logistics and Mobility in the Department of Logistics at the University of Applied Sciences Upper Austria. He is involved in the development of interdisciplinary, collaborative RTD projects on transport logistics and mobility. He is also the project leader of the Austrian Lighthouse Project Connecting Austria on automated energy-efficient truck platoons. His research interests are primarily in business Models for CCAM services, innovation in mobility and start-ups.
