About the authors:
Andreas Antoniou received the Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering from
the University of London, UK, in 1966 and is a Fellow of the lET and IEEE.
He served as the founding Chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer
Engineering at the University of Victoria, B.C., Canada, and is now Professor
Emeritus in the same department. He is the author of Digital Filters: Analysis,
Design, and Applications (McGraw-Hill, 1993) and Digital Signal Processing:
Signals, Systems, and Filters (McGraw-Hill, 2005). He served as Associate
Editor/Editor of IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems from June 1983 to
May 1987, as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Signal Processing Society
in 2003, as General Chair of the 2004 International Symposium on Circuits
and Systems, and is currently serving as a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE
Circuits and Systems Society. He received the Ambrose Fleming Premium for
1964 from the lEE (best paper award), the CAS Golden Jubilee Medal from
the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society, the B.C. Science Council Chairman's
Award for Career Achievement for 2000, the Doctor Honoris Causa degree from
the Metsovio National Technical University of Athens, Greece, in 2002, and
the IEEE Circuits and Systems Society 2005 Technical Achievement Award.
Wu-Sheng Lu received the B.S. degree in Mathematics from Fudan University,
Shanghai, China, in 1964, the M.E. degree in Automation from the East China
Normal University, Shanghai, in 1981, the M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering
and the Ph.D. degree in Control Science from the University of Minnesota,
Minneapolis, in 1983 and 1984, respectively. He was a post-doctoral fellow at
the University of Victoria, Victoria, BC, Canada, in 1985 and Visiting Assistant
Professor with the University of Minnesota in 1986. Since 1987, he has been
with the University of Victoria where he is Professor. His current teaching
and research interests are in the general areas of digital signal processing and
application of optimization methods. He is the co-author with A. Antoniou of
Two-Dimensional Digital Filters (Marcel Dekker, 1992). He served as an Associate
Editor of the Canadian Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering
in 1989, and Editor of the same journal from 1990 to 1992. He served as an
Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems, Part II,
from 1993 to 1995 and for Part I of the same journal from 1999 to 2001 and
from 2004 to 2005. Presently he is serving as Associate Editor for the International
Journal of Multidimensional Systems and Signal Processing. He is a
Fellow of the Engineering Institute of Canada and the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers.
