Professor Thomas Marlowe has been a member of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science at Seton Hall University for almost 40 years, and has taught a wide variety of courses in both disciplines. Until he went on phased retirement in 2017, he was coordinator and advisor for the Computer Science program. Professor Marlowe enjoys working with students and with professional colleagues—almost all his research is collaborative. His professional interests include in mathematics, abstract algebra and discrete mathematics; in computer science, programming languages, real-time systems, and software engineering, and pedagogy; and in information science, collaboration and knowledge management. The connection between graphs and algebraic structures is a recurrent theme.
Professor Marlowe has Ph.D. in Computer Science, from Rutgers, The State University, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics, also from Rutgers. Professor Marlowe has many publications and academic distinctions, with over 100 publications in refereed conferences and journals in mathematics, computer science and information science. Some of the more recent and more significant include:

Professor Mohammad Ilyas has been with FAU's College of Engineering and Computer
Science since 1983. He has served there in various academic and administrative capacities including Dean of the College from 2011 to 2017.
He has earned four academic degrees from four different countries; BSc in Electrical Engineering from Pakistan, MS in Electrical Engineering from Iran, PhD in Electrical Engineering from Canada, and PhD in Educational Leadership from USA.
Dr. Ilyas has over 210 publications, including one book, 26 handbooks, and
over 180 research articles. He is life senior member of IEEE, member of Global
Engineering Deans Council, and is Fulbright Specialist.
Professor Nagib Callaos is the Founding President of the a
32 years old Multi-Disciplinary Organization oriented to 1) solve real life
problems which mostly require multi-disciplinary teams and 2) to synergistically
relate all disciplinary and inter-disciplinary departments of the University
Simon Bolivar with the public and the private sectors as well as with business
and the Venezuelan society at large. He is also the Founding President of the
IIIS and the Founding Editor in Chief of the Journal of Systemics, Cybernetics,
and Informatics (JSCI). He is former Dean of Research and Development of the
University Simon Bolivar.
Professor Callaos was also the founding president of several organizations on
research, development, and technological innovation, e.g. The Foundation of
Research and Development of the University Simon Bolivar, the founding president
of the Venezuelan Fund for Technological Innovations (created by presidential
decree), which required the evaluation of projects from any discipline as well
as technological innovations that required multi-disciplinary teams, The Venezuelan
Association of Executives in Patents and Copyrights. As a professional, Dr.
Callaos was for many years consultant in Information Systems in the largest
corporations in Venezuela including its Central Bank. In this context he is
the Founding president of a consulting 32 years old consulting firm in information
systems and software engineering. His main research, academic, and professional
activities, along almost 50 years were in the area of Systemic Methodologies
of Information System Development, Group Decision Support Systems, and Action-Research
mainly via Operations Research. He tutored more than 100 undergraduate and graduate
theses and produced more than 100 research papers and reflection articles. He
has also edited, or co-edited many books, mostly conferences proceedings.
Mostly implicit relationships between disciplinarity and inter-disciplinarity will be presented,
These relationships exist and are real, but they are not always perceived in order to be adequately designed and implemented. Consequently, we will try to describe and generate collective comments of the following relationships. We will also distribute among the attendees a paper draft regarding with a little bit of details regarding these relationships and the potential danger of Intra-Disciplinary Incest if these cybernetic relationships are absent in a researcher or a research group.
