About the Author

Guoqiang Mao received his Bachelor degree in electrical engineering from Hubei University of Technology (China), his Master degree in engineering from South East University (China) and PhD in telecommunications engineering from Edith Cowan University, Australia in 1995, 1998 and 2002 respectively. After graduation from PhD, he worked in the US-based industrial company �Intelligent Pixel Incorporation� as a Senior Research Engineer for one year. He joined the School of Electrical and Information Engineering, the University of Sydney in December 2002 where he is a Senior Lecturer now. He is seconded to National ICT Australia as a Senior Researcher since 2003. He has published over fifty papers in prestigious journals and refereed conference proceedings. He has been a regular reviewer for many of the leading journals in the area. He has served as a program committee member in a number of international conferences and was the publicity co-chair of 2007 ACM Conference on Embedded Networked Sensor Systems. He was listed in the 25th Anniversary Edition of Marquis �Who's Who in the World� (2008) and in the 9th (2007) and 10th (2008) Anniversary Edition of Marquis �Who's Who in Science and Engineering�. His research interests include wireless localization techniques, wireless multihop networks, graph theory and its application in networking, telecommunications traffic measurement, analysis and modeling, and network performance analysis. Baris Fidan received his BS degrees in electrical engineering and mathematics from Middle East Technical University, (Turkey, 1996), his M.S. degree in electrical engineering from Bilkent University, Turkey in 1998, and the PhD degree in electrical engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, USA in 2003. After working as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Southern California for one year, he joined the National ICT Australia and the Research School of Information Sciences and Engineering of the Australian National University, Canberra, Australia in 2005, where he is currently a senior researcher. His research interests include autonomous multi-agent dynamical systems, sensor networks, cooperative localization, adaptive and nonlinear control, switching and hybrid systems, mechatronics, and various control applications including high performance and hypersonic flight control, semiconductor manufacturing process control, and disk-drive servo systems. He is coauthor of more than seventy publications, including the textbook �Adaptive Control Tutorial� (SIAM, 2006).
