About the Editors

Miodrag Boli,

Miodrag Boli received his B.S. and M.S. degrees in electrical engineering from the University of Belgrade, Serbia in 1996 and 2001, respectively, and his Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from Stony Brook University, NY, in 2004. Since 2004, he has been with the University of Ottawa, Canada, where he is an associate Professor at the School of Information Technology and Engineering. His current research interests include computer architectures, biomedical signal processing and RFID. He has eight years of industrial experience from the US and Serbia related to digital signal processing and embedded system design. He is a co founder of a start up Astraion Inc., NY, that develops novel RFID systems. He is a founder and director of Computer architecture research group and RFID research group at the University of Ottawa. He has been a principal investigator on a number of projects funded by NSERC, Canada, Ontario Centres of Excellences and industry. Dr. Boli has been involved in a number of research service activities including: chair of the joint chapter of signal processing, oceanic engineering, geosciences and remote sensing for the IEEE Ottawa section, and associate editor of Telecommunication Systems journal, Springer.

David Simplot Ryl,

David Simplot Ryl received the Graduate Engineer degree in computer science, automation, electronic and electrical engineering, and M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in computer science from the University of Lille, France, in 1993 and 1997, respectively. In 1998, he joined the Fundamental Computer Science Laboratory of Lille (LIFL), France, where he is currently professor. He received the Habilitation degree from the University of Lille, France, in 2003. His research interests include sensor and mobile ad hoc networks, mobile and distributed computing, embedded operating systems, smart objects and RFID technologies. Recently, his main occupation is contributing to international standardization on RFID tag identification protocols in partnership with Gemplus and TagSys companies. He has written scientific papers, book chapters and patents and received the Best Paper award at the 9th International Conference on Personal Wireless Communications (PWC 2004) and at the 2nd International Conference on Mobile Ad hoc and Sensor Networks (MSN 2006). He is an associate editor of Ad Hoc and Sensor Wireless Networks: An International Journal (Old City Publishing) and a member of the editorial board of International Journal of Computers and Applications (Acta Press), the International Journal of Wireless and Mobile Computing (Inderscience), and International Journal of Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems (Taylor & Francis).

Ivan Stojmenovi,

Ivan Stojmenovi received the Ph.D. degree in mathematics. He has held regular and visiting positions in Serbia, Japan, the USA, Canada, France, Mexico, Spain, the UK (as Chair in Applied Computing at the University of Birmingham), Hong Kong, and Brazil, and is a Professor at the University of Ottawa, Canada. He has published over 250 different papers, and has edited four books on wireless, ad hoc and sensor networks and applied algorithms with Wiley/IEEE. He is the editor of over a dozen journals, is editor in chief of IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems (from January 2010), and founder and editor in chief of three journals ( Multiple Valued Logic and Soft Computing; Parallel, Emergent and Distributed Systems ; and Ad Hoc and Sensor Wireless Networks ). Dr. Stojmenovi has h index 35 and >6000 citations. One of his articles was recognized as the Fast Breaking Paper, for October 2003 (the only one for the whole of computer science), by Thomson ISI Essential Science Indicators. He is the recipient of the Royal Society Research Merit Award, UK. He was elected to IEEE Fellow status (Communications Society, class of 2008), and is a recipient of Excellence in Research Award of the University of Ottawa, 20082009.
