Biographical sketches of authors
Richard E. (Andy) Anderson
IBM Microelectronics Division, Burlington facility, Essex Junction, Vermont 05452 (andya@us.ibm.com).
Mr. Anderson graduated from MIT with a B.S. in electrical engineering and an M.S. in electrical engineering and computer science in 1987. His previous work included human interface development for point-of-sale terminals at NCR Corporation. While at NCR, he was co-inventor of an issued patent, co-wrote a conference paper, and was an author of a paper. Mr. Anderson joined IBM in 1992 to design and support microprocessors. For the last two years he has worked on the IBM MPEG-2 transport demultiplexor and has published one paper and filed several patents in this field. He recently joined the ASIC cores development team.
Eric M. Foster
IBM Microelectronics Division, 1701 North Street, Endicott, New York 13760 (emfoster@us.ibm.com).
Mr. Foster received a B.S. in mechanical engineering from Clarkson University in 1982 and an M.S. in electrical engineering from the State University of New York at Binghamton in 1987. In 1982 he joined the IBM Federal Systems Division, where over time he worked on the mechanical design of large shipboard computers, module packaging design, manufacturing process development, and the electrical analysis of packaging noise effects. In 1989 he moved to the Microelectronics Division, where he worked on the design and characterization of high-performance packaging for optoelectronic datalinks. In 1993 he joined the Digital Video Products group, focused on the development of MPEG products, where he has worked on set-top-box network interface design, PC-based evaluation cards, and MPEG-2 transport architecture. Mr. Foster is currently working on integrated chip architecture and MPEG subsystem design, and has recently moved to the IBM Research Division. He has taught short courses on packaging and optoelectronics, published several internal and external papers, and filed fifteen patents. He is a member of the IEEE Consumer Electronics Society.
