Professor. Kwang-Cheng Chen is a Professor at Institute of Communication Engineering, College of Electrical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei, Taiwan, ROC, and is an Irving T. Ho Chair-Professor. He received a BSc from the National Taiwan University in 1983, MSc and PhD from the University of Maryland, College Park, United States, in 1987 and 1989, all in electrical engineering. From 1987 to 1991, Dr. Chen worked with SSE, COMSAT, and IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center in mobile communication networks. Professor J. Roberto B. de Marca received his undergraduate engineering degree from the Pontifical Catholic University in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Prof. de Marca was a Fulbright Scholar at the University of Southern California, where he earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering in 1977. He then joined the faculty of the Catholic University, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he has held several positions including Associate Academic Vice President for Sponsored Research. In 1990, Prof. de Marca was appointed, by the Minister of Science and Technology, Scientific Director of the Brazilian National Research Council (CNPq), responsible for a 300 million dollar research funding program which included all individual research grants and fellowships in all areas of knowledge.
