Juan A. Botía Blaya

I received my Engineer Degree in Little Computer Science from the University of Murcia (UMU), Spain. In 1996 I began my Ph.D. in the Intelligent Systems Group at the at Department of Telematic Systems Engineering, Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (UPM). Concurrently I was teaching at the Alcalá University in Madrid, Spain. I finished my PhD at the Department of Communications and Information Engineering, in the group ANTS at the same university.
