N1 - Funding Information: Xinheng Wang is currently a professor in networks at University of the West of Scotland (UWS). He received his BEng and Master degrees in electrical engineering from Xi’an Jiaotong University, China, in 1991 and 1994, respectively, and PhD degree from Brunel University in 2001. Between 1994 and 1998, he was working as a lecturer in State Key Laboratory of Electrical Insulation for Power Equipment at Xi’an Jiaotong University. After obtaining his PhD degree in 2001, he had worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at Brunel University for two years and then joined Kingston University as a senior research fellow. In June 2004 he was promoted to a senior lecturer in mobile computing at Kingston University. In September 2007 he joined Swansea University to take a senior lectureship in wireless communications. In Feb. 2013, he was appointed as a professor. His current research interests lie in wireless networks, including algorithms for wireless mesh networks and sensor networks, system development based on Internet of Things (IoT), converged indoor positioning, and service-oriented networks. Over the years, he has been investigating quite a few research projects supported from EPSRC, Technology Strategy Board (TSB), EU, National Natural Science Foundation of China, China 863 High-Tech programme and industry. Some of the technologies have been transferred into commercial products. Currently he is serving as a senior member of IEEE, board member of British Standards Institution, member of Review College of EPSRC, external expert adviser for Welsh Government. He was invited to deliver a few keynote speeches at international conferences and has chaired a few international workshops. Over the years, he has authored/coauthered more than 110 journal and conference papers and filed 7 patents. Funding Information: Fei Hu is currently an associate professor in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Alabama (main campus), Tuscaloosa, Alabama, USA. He obtained his Ph.D. degrees at Tongji University (Shanghai, China) in the field of Signal Processing (in 1999), and at Clarkson University (New York, USA) in the field of Electrical and Computer Engineering (in 2002). He has published over 200 journal/conference papers, books, and book chapters. Dr. Hu’s research has been supported by U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Department of Defense (DoD), Cisco, Sprint, and other sources. So far he has obtained over $5 M research grants (average $500 K per year). He also holds a few U.S. patents. He serves in the editorial board for over 5 international journals. He has chaired a few international conferences. His research interests are 3S – Security, Signals, Sensors: (1) Security: This is about how to overcome different cyber attacks in a complex wireless or wired network. Recently he focuses on cyber–physical system security and medical security issues. (2) Signals: This mainly refers to intelligent signal processing, that is, using machine learning algorithms to process sensing signals in a smart way in order to extract patterns (i.e., achieve pattern recognition). (3) Sensors: This includes micro-sensor design and wireless sensor networking issues. He has taught over 10 major ECE courses and developed 5 brand new courses for ECE students (some of those new offered courses were sponsored by U.S. NSF). Funding Information: Yulei Wu is an Associate Professor at the Computer Network Information Center, Chinese Academy of Sciences, China. He received the B.Sc. (First Class Honours) degree in Computer Science and Ph.D. degree in Computing and Mathematics from the University of Bradford, United Kingdom, in 2006 and 2010, respectively. His research focuses on Future Network Architecture and Protocols, Wireless Networks and Mobile Computing, and Modelling and Performance Evaluation, and has been supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China, National Key Technology Research and Development Program of the Ministry of Science and Technology of China, National High-tech R&D Program of China (863 Program), and Strategic Priority Research Program. He has published over 35 research papers in prestigious international conferences and journals including IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, IEEE Transactions on Communications, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, and ACM Transactions on Embedded Computing Systems.
