The Editors-in-Chief would like to thank all their contributors for their excellent, timely work. Special thanks are due to our Associate Editors, Teresa Piliouras and James Anderson. Without their help, we would not have been able to submit this manuscript on time. We thank Mihaela Bucut, our . student at Stevens Institute of Technology for her valuable help with voice and data communications. We are particularly grateful to Dawn Mesa, who has supported our editorial work by providing significant administrative help from CRC Press. We would also like to thank Ramila Saldana, who greatly assisted the co-editors with the care and attention she provided to many.
