Payá-Vayá, Guillermo: - Guillermo Payá Vayá obtained his Ing. degree from the School of Telecommunications Engineering, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, Spain, in 2001. During 2001-2004, he was a member of the research group of Digital System Design, Universidad Politécnica de Valencia, where he worked on VLSI dedicated architecture design of signal and image processing algorithms using pipelining, retiming, and parallel processing techniques. In 2004, he joined the Department of Architectures and Systems at the Institute of Microelectronic Systems, Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, and received a Ph.D. degree in 2011. He is currently Junior Professor at the same Institute. His research interests include embedded computer architecture design for signal and image processing systems.

Blume, Holger: - Holger Blume received his diploma in electrical engineering in 1992 at the University of Dortmund, Germany. In 1997 he achieved his Ph.D. with distinction from the University of Dortmund, Germany. Until 2008 he worked as a senior engineer and as an academic senior councillor at the Chair of Electrical Engineering and Computer Systems (EECS) of the RWTH Aachen University. In 2008 he got his postdoctoral lecture qualification. Holger has been Professor for "Architectures und Systems" at the Leibniz Universität Hannover, Germany, since July 2008 and runs the Institute of Microelectronic Systems. His present research includes algorithms and heterogeneous architectures for digital signal processing, design space exploration for such architectures as well as research on the corresponding modeling techniques.
