Giovanni De Micheli Editor

Giovanni De Micheli is professor of electrical engineering, and by courtesy, of computer science at Stanford University. Previously he was with the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. He holds a degree in nuclear engineering from Politecnico di Milano in 1979 and a M.S. and a Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from the University of California at Berkeley in 1980 and 1983, respectively. His research interests include several aspects of design technologies for integrated circuits and systems, with particular emphasis on synthesis, system-level design, hardware/software co-design and low-power design. He is author of Synthesis and Optimization of Digital Circuits and co-author and/or co-editor of four other books. Dr. De Micheli is a Fellow of ACM and IEEE. Currently, he is Editor in Chief of the IEEE Transactions on CAD/ICAS. Rolf Ernst is professor of electrical engineering at the Technical University of Braunschweig, Germany. His research interests are VLSI CAD and digital circuit design. Previously, he was a member of the technical staff in the CAD and Test Laboratory of AT&T Bell Laboratories and a research assistant at the University of Erlangen, Germany. He holds a diploma in computer science and a PhD in electrical engineering from the University of Erlangen. He is a member of the IEEE, the IEEE Computer Society, and the German GI (Society for Computer Science). Wayne Wolf is Professor, Rhesea “Ray” P. Farmer Distinguished Chair in EmbeddedComputing, and Georgia Research Alliance Eminent Scholar at the Georgia Institute ofTechnology. Before joining Georgia Tech, he was with Princeton University and AT&TBell Laboratories in Murray Hill, New Jersey. He received his B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. inelectrical engineering from Stanford University. He is well known for his research in theareas of hardware/software co-design, embedded computing, VLSI CAD, and multimediacomputing systems. He is a fellow of the IEEE and ACM. He co-founded severalconferences in the area, including CODES, MPSoC, and Embedded Systems Week. Hewas founding co-editor-in-chief of Design Automation for Embedded Systems andfounding editor-in-chief of ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems. He hasreceived the ASEE Frederick E. Terman Award and the IEEE Circuits and Society Education Award. He is also series editor of the Morgan Kaufmann Series in Systems onSilicon.
