Biographie:
G?kt?rk ??oluk received his B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Physics from Bosphorus University, Istanbul, Turkey, and his Ph.D. degree from Middle East Technical University (METU), Ankara, Turkey, in 1980, 1982, and 1989, respectively. He is the developer of several symbolic computation software, among which are the first freeware Standard Lisp interpreter and the cross compiler. He is currently a full professor at the Department of Computer Engineering at METU. His recent interests are in evolutionary computing, modeling and simulation. His other research interests include symbolic algebraic computing, language processors, and natural language processing. Along with lectures in his subject field, he also taught over 20 years the freshman CS courses. Sinan Kalkan is a professor at the Department of Computer Engineering at Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey. He received his M.Sc. degree in Computer Eng. from METU, and his Ph.D. degree in Informatics from the Uni. of G?ttingen, Germany. After working as a postdoctoral researcher at the Uni. of G?ttingen and at METU, he joined METU Dept. of Computer Engineering in 2010 as a faculty member and since then, has been working on several computer vision and robotics problems. His research was supported by the BAGEP Award of the Science Academy, Turkey in 2020. His work on context modeling received the 2019 Outstanding Paper Award from IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems. He has co-organized several conferences and workshops on computer vision and robotics. With Dr. ??oluk, he has written a book on Introduction to programming concepts with case studies in Python, published by Springer in 2012. He serves as a member for the IEEE Journal on Robotics and Automation Letters journals, METU Image Processing Center and T?B?TAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey). Onur Tolga ?ehit?lu is an instructor atthe Department of Computer Engineering at Middle East Technical University (METU), Turkey. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer Engineering from METU. He joined METU Computer Engineering in 2002 as instructor and since then he has been working on evolutionary algorithms, automated design, computer and network security fields. In addition to various other CS courses, he has taught courses on programming and programming language concepts for 20 years....
