Prof. Peter Wide received his MSc. Eng. and Licentiate-of-Technology degrees in 1984 and
1987 from the Dept. of Measurement Technology, University of Linköping, Sweden. In
parallel to his academic career he has worked in different electronic industries for more than
15 years as test engineer, development manager, and technical consultant. He received his
PhD in Measurement Science and Technology from Linköping University in 1996. Peter
Wide has been a visiting researcher at the Siemens Corporate R & D Fuzzy Research
Laboratory in Munich, Germany in 1994 and at the School of Information Technology and
Engineering (SITE), University of Ottawa, Canada, in 1997. He is the founder of the Center
for Applied Autonomous Sensor System, where he is now the director. He has authored and
co-authored more than 100 conference/journal papers. He serves in the program committees
of several international conferences and as a reviewer for IEEE-journals. He is an active
member of the IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement (IM) Society. His professional
interests are mainly related to the fields of sensors, feature extraction, sensor data fusion and
quality measurements.
T. Selim Eskiizmirliler received his BS degree in Electrical Engineering from the Yildiz
Technical University, Istanbul and MS degree in Electrical and Electronic engineering from
the Middle East Technical University, Ankara, Turkey in 1989 and 1993, respectively. His
MS thesis dealt with the automated classification of chromosome images based on artificial
neural networks. From 1993 to 1995 he worked at the Biomedical Engineering Research Unit
of Hacettepe University, Faculty of Medicine, Ankara, on expert biomedical diagnostic
systems. He received PhD degree in Signal & Image Processing from the Ecole Nationale
Superieure des Telecommunications, Paris, France in 2000. His PhD thesis dealt with
modeling the sensory-motor information in the cerebellar pathways and its applications to the
prediction of motion sickness in high speed tilting trains and to the control of a robot limb
actuated by artificial muscles. He has 17 conference/journal publications and is currently a
researcher at the Center for Applied Autonomous Sensory Systems Örebro University,
Sweden. His research interests concern biologically inspired control systems, artificial neural
networks, artificial muscles, sensory-motor information fusion, digital signal and image
processing.
Lena Biel was born in Karlskoga, Sweden on February 12, 1969. She was awarded the degree
