Prof. Dr. Andrea D'Ambrogio is an Associate Professor of software and systems engineering at the Department of Enterprise Engineering of the University of Roma “Tor Vergata” (Italy).

He has formerly been an Assistant Professor of computer science at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Roma "Tor Vergata", a Research Associate at the Concurrent Engineering Research Center of West Virginia University (USA), a Member of the software engineering research staff at the Department of Computer Science, Systems and Production of the University of Roma "Tor Vergata", and a System Manager of the department's Software Laboratory. He is the Director of the postgraduate master’s degree program in "Systems Engineering", established at the University of Roma "Tor Vergata" in 2012.

Prof. Dr. Andrea D'Ambrogio's research interests are in the software and systems engineering field, specifically in the areas of systems and software performance as well as dependability engineering, model-driven systems and software engineering, business process management, and distributed simulation. In such areas he has participated in several projects at both European and overseas levels, and has authored more than 150 journal/conference papers.

He has been the General Chair of the 2019 Spring Simulation Conference (SpringSim'19), the 2018 Summer Simulation Multi-Conference (SummerSim'18), the 49th Summer Computer Simulation Conference (SCSC 2017), the SCS/ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Theory of Modeling & Simulation (TMS 2014), and the IEEE International Conference on Enabling Technologies: Infrastructure for Collaborative Enterprises (WETICE 2008). He has served as a Program Chair and/or Member of the Steering and Program Committee of various international conferences, including IEEE WETICE, SCS/ACM SpringSim, SCS/ACM SummerSim, IEEE/ACM PADS, IEEE/ACM DS-RT, and the INFORMS/ACM Winter Simulation Conference. He started the IEEE International Workshop on Collaborative Modeling and Simulation (CoMetS) in 2010 and the SCS/ACM International Symposium on Model-driven Approaches for Simulation Engineering (Mod4Sim) in 2011.

Prof. Dr. Andrea D'Ambrogio is an Associate Editor of the Transactions of the Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SIMULATION), a Member of the Editorial Board of the IAENG International Journal of Computer Science (IJCS) and MDPI’s Modelling, and has been a Member of the Editorial Board of the Simulation Practice and Theory (SIMPAT). He has been a Member of the Scientific Board of the ICT COST Action on “Multi Paradigm Modelling for Cyber Physical Systems” (MPM4CPS). He is the President-Elect and a Member of the Board of Directors of the Society for Modeling & Simulation International (SCS), and is a Member of IEEE, IEEE Computer Society, ACM, and INCOSE. He is also the Director of Academic Affairs of the Italian Association of Systems Engineering—INCOSE Italy Chapter (AISE).

We warmly welcome Prof. Dr. Andrea D’Ambrogio to the Editorial Board of Software (ISSN: 2674-113X), and we look forward to his contributions to the continued success of the journal.
