JOHN B. ANDERSON holds the Ericsson Chair in Digital Communications
at Lund University, Sweden. He was formerly a professor at
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and is
a recipient of the Humboldt Research Prize and the IEEE Third
Millennium Medal. His research and consulting practice concentrates
on communication algorithms and bandwidth-efficient coding.

ROLF JOHANNESSON is Professor of Information Theory at Lund
University, Sweden, and a Fellow of the IEEE. He was awarded the
honor of Professor, honoris causa, from the Institute for
Information Transmission Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences. His
research interests include information theory, error-correcting
codes, and cryptography.
