Saikou Y. Diallo, PhD, is an expert in the interoperability and composability of simulations. He is currently conducting research into the concept of Human Simulation which combines simulation engineering and the humanities. He leads the Modeling and Simulation Sciences group at the Virginia Modeling Analysis and Simulation Center (VMASC). Dr. Diallo is a member of the SCS Board of Directors and associate editor of the ACM SIGSIM M&S Body of Knowledge Repository. He has over 100 publications in journals, conferences and book chapters. He has served as the Program Chair and General Chair of the Spring Simulation Conference and is currently the Vice President in charge of Conferences at SCS.

Wesley J. Wildman, PhD, is a philosopher of religion specializing in the scientific study of religion. He has published extensively at the intersection of the sciences and the humanities and coordinates a PhD program in that field at Boston University. He is Executive Director of the Centerfor Mind and Culture, which engineers effective solutions for pressing social problems using high-tech methods such as computer simulation in conjunction with an aggressive interdisciplinary approach combining social sciences, humanities, policy experts, and stakeholders. 


F. LeRon Shults has published 17 books and over 100 articles and book chapters on themes related to philosophy, social science, education and the scientific study of religion. He is founding director of the NORCE Center for Modeling Social Systems and professor at the Institute for Global Development and Social Planning at the University of Agder in Kristiansand, Norway. Shults is the principal investigator for several research projects that are developing computational models for better understanding and addressing topics such as immigration, integration, secularization and climate change.

"The aim is not only to provide insights from these interdisciplinary endeavours to students and those working in the field of humanities, but also to the general reader and to researchers from other disciplines interested in the expansion of the information revolution into the humanities. ... this is a volume to explore."
