Professor
Florin Balasa has received the NSF CAREER Award: Data-flow
Analysis in the Memory Management of Real-Time Multimedia
Processing Systems.This research focuses
on devising novel techniques based on data-flow analysis in
the memory management of real-time multidimensional signal
processing. Data-flow analysis is the steering exploration
mechanism along this project, allowing more exploration freedom
than the traditional scheduling -based investigation, since
the memory management tasks usually need only relative (rather
than exact) lifetime information. Moreover, data-flow analysis
enables the study of memory management tasks at the desired
level of granularity -- between whole array and the scalar
level -- trading-off computational effort and solution optimality.

Wolfgang-Martin Boerner
The
University Council of the Tomsk State University of Control
Systems and Radioelectronics unanimously honored Prof. Boerner
with the degree of Honoured Doctor (Doctor honoris causa)
of the Tomsk State University of Control Systems and Radioelectronics
This honor is awarded to Russian and foreign scientists known
through their scientific and engineering achievements, having
scientific degrees and having added to the TUCSR development,
financial improvement and prestige in the international educational
and scientific society. Prof. Boerner received this honor
for his involvement in advancing remote sensing techniques
for the air/space-borne monitoring of the Siberian environment
including its tundra, taiga, marshes and the Baikal Lake Rift
Zone. top

Professor
Milos Zefran has received the National Science Foundation
CAREER AWARD for developing a systematic framework for design
of a new generation of personal robotic systems that are reliable,
safe and suitable for mass production. This research could
bridge the gap between the research on high-level reasoning
which guarantees autonomy and low level control that ensures
safety and high mechanical performance. This type of personal
robot could revolutionize everyday life in a similar way that
computers have during the last decade. top

Professor
Piergiorgio Uslenghi
was elected President of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation
Society for the year 2001, after serving as Vice President
in the year 2000. The Society has about ten thousand professional
members in some sixty countries. It is the main professional
organization dealing with the radiation, propagation and scattering
of electromagnetic waves, with applications to antennas, arrays,
microwaves, optical systems, radars, and wireless communications.
Chair of Commission B - Fields and Waves, United States National
Committee of the International Union of Radio Science (URSI)
Prof.
Uslenghi
was honored as a Distinguished Alumnus by the Polytechnic
of Turin, Italy, in a cerimony presided by the Prime Minister
of Italy on April 10, 2001. The Polytechnic of Turin is one
of the oldest and most prestigious technical universities
in Europe. Prof. Uslenghi received a doctorate in electrical
engineering, summa cum laude, from the Polytechnic in 1960.
Prof.
Uslenghi was appointed the first Editor-in-Chief of Editor

(MURI) Grant by the Department of Defense in Spring 2001.
The grant is for over four million dollars for a five-year
period, and will deal with the analysis and design of ultrawide-band
and high-power microwave pulse interactions with electronic
circuits and systems. UIC, with Dr. Uslenghi as Principal
Investigator, is the leading institution of a consortium of
five universities which includes Clemson University, the University
of Houston, UIUC, and the University of Michigan as subcontractors.
