**About the Special Issue Editors**

**Teen-Hang Meen**, Dr., was born in Tainan, Taiwan on August 1, 1967. He received his BS degree from Department of Electrical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University (NCKU), Tainan, Taiwan in 1989, his MS degree and PhD from Institute of Electrical Engineering, National Sun Yat-Sen University (NSYSU), Kaohsiung, Taiwan in 1991 and 1994, respectively. He was Chairman of the Department of Electronic Engineering from 2005 to 2011 at National Formosa University, Yunlin, Taiwan. He received prestigious research awards from National Formosa University in both 2008 and 2014. Currently, he is a distinguished professor at the Department of Electronic Engineering, National Formosa University, Yunlin, Taiwan. He is also the president of the International Institute of Knowledge Innovation and Invention (IIKII) and the Chair of the IEEE Tainan Section Sensors Council. He has published more than 100 SCI, SSCI and EI papers in recent years.

**Charles Tijus**, Dr., has worked on visual perception for two years, with Adam Reeves (Vision Lab, Northeastern University, Boston, USA) as a research assistant. Charles Tijus is the Director of the Cognitions Humaine et Artificielle Laboratory, founded with M. Bui and F. Jouen, the CHArt, a cognitive science laboratory (problem solving, understanding, robotics and cognitive ergonomics), and "Laboratoire des Usages des Techniques d'Information Numeriques", with D. Boullier; a ´ new cognitive ergonomics living LAB laboratory, (LUTIN), which is a "USERLAB" (something like the Audience Research Facility, Boston), located at the "Cite des Sciences et de l'Industrie", ´ La Villette. LUTIN is a platform for usability observations and experiments. LUTIN owns most of the analytical equipment required for its work. It provides access to various shared equipment, such as eye-tracking systems, evoked potentials systems, physiological recording systems, video recording and analysi. The advantages of LUTIN are participants for observations, technologies for observation and experimentation, cognitive simulation, interface between disciplines, and links with industries. LUTIN has close relationships with hospitals, industries, and professional teams and users. It offers services and advice for the adequate conception and use of information technologies. Charles Tijus develops a contextual categorization-based approach in order to study the cognitive processes of understanding: thinking, reasoning, decision-making and learning in early child development and adults. How people develop abilities and competencies is the major concern when it comes to adaptive behavior. The methods comprise empirical research, eye-tracking, event-related potentials (ERPs): N400, and computer models for cognitive simulations. The current interdisciplinary and collaborative research (cognitive psychology, neuroscience and computer science) is on problem solving and operative language, as well as figurative language understanding, and on cognitive robotics and other smart cognitive technologies. Charles Tijus was one of the 2014 IBM Faculty Award recipients.

**Jih-Fu Tu**, Dr., received his PhD in Computer Science from Preston University, USA. He is also the professor of the Industrial Engineering and Management Department at St. John's University in Taiwan. He was a technology consultant for WanWell Cop. He is interested in the computer architecture of multiprocessor systems and multithreaded processors, discrete event systems (DES), VLSI design, the I/O devices design of a computer, and AIoT. He was also the peer reviewer of The Journal of Supercomputing, Computers and Electrical Engineering, Microsystem Technologies, and the Committee of International Conference, etc. He has published over 20 journal papers, 5 authored books, 7 edited books, and 30 papers in international conference proceedings.
