Hubert Van Belle was born in 1943. He
received the degree in electro-mechanical
engineering and the Ph.D. degree in
mechanics from the KU Leuven in 1969
and 1974, respectively. After his industrial
career in GTE ATEA, BN, and Bombardier
Transportation, he returned to the Division PMA for
EUREKA Factory in 1999. He was the Co-Founder of the
BIRA Working Party System Theory and the Discussion
Group Worldviews. He published papers in the field of sensitivity
analysis, computer integrated manufacturing
(CIM) and information resource management (IRM) and
contributed to books regarding worldview construction.
Furthermore, he organized several conferences, seminars,
talks and meetings for the industrial and academic community
and on behalf of the Belgian Science Policy Department
(Belspo). His main research interests include system
theory, generalization and integration, technical-organizational
thinking, and scientific worldviews.
Joos P. Vandewalle (Life Fellow,
IEEE)
received the master's degree in electrical
engineering and the Ph.D. degree
from the Katholieke Universiteit Leuven
(KU Leuven), Belgium, in 1971 and 1976,
respectively. Until October 2013, he was
a Full Professor at the Department Electrical Engineering
(ESAT), KU Leuven, and the Head of the Division with more
than 150 researchers. He is currently an Ambassador for
Open Science at the KU Leuven and the Chairperson of the
LERU Open Science Ambassadors' Group. He supervised 43
Ph.D. students in mathematical engineering topics. He has
published with his students more than 300 international
journal articles, four books, and the co-editor of five books.
These harvested about 54,000 Google scholar citations. His
research interests include mathematical system theory and
its applications in circuit theory, control, signal processing,
cryptography, and neural networks. He is also a fellow of
IET and EURASIP, and a member of the Academia Europaea.
For the years 2017 and 2018, he was the President of KVAB
and the Royal Flemish Academy of Belgium for Science
and the Arts. He performed several services to IEEE (VP
TA of CAS Society, Fellow Committee, Thesaurus Editorial
Board, Chair Technical Committee on CAS Education and
Outreach, and ISCAS 2013 Co-Chair) and received several
IEEE awards (best paper, Desoer, and Van Valkenburg). He
is receiving this year the IEEE Kirchhoff Award.
