Mark Cummings is currently organizing enVia II. He was the CEO and founder of enVia I, a venture catalyst spun out of Stanford Research Institute which launched three SDR companies. Mark is the principal inventor on the earliest patent granted on the use of reconfigurable logic for SDR. He chaired the Organizing Committee of the SDR Forum (an international industry association with over 120 member companies) and was its first Technical Committee Chair, served as Chairman of the Board of Directors and is currently Chair of the Commercial Working Group. Earlier in his career, Mark helped found and sat on the Board of Directors of PCMCIA, Smart Card Industry Association and IrDA (Infrared Data Association). He was an early member of IEEE 802, a contributor to the X.25 standard and designed the first international X.25 network.
Mark holds a Ph.D. from the Graduate School of Information Science at Tohoku University (Japan), and an MBA from the Wharton School of Business in Conjunction with the Moore School of Engineering and the Annenberg School of Communications at the University of Pennsylvania. He has published over 150 papers and articles on communications and computing and two book chapters on SDR technology currently used as college texts.
Todor Cooklev is Director of the Indiana-Purdue Wireless Technology Center at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne, IN. He has several years of industry experience. He has been involved with the development of the Bluetooth and the IEEE 802 standards for wireless communication. He was one of the founders and the first Vice-Chair of IEEE 802.15.3, as well as the most recent 802.11aa Task Group. Currently he also participates in the Metalanguage for Mobility Workgroup of the Software-Defined Forum. His interests are in the areas of wireless communication systems, software-defined radio, and signal processing. He has approximately 70 publications in these areas. He is the author of the book "Wireless Communication Standards: A Study of IEEE 802.11, 802.15, and 802.16," published by IEEE Press in 2004. Among his honours, he received the Best Paper Award at the 1994 Asia-Pacific Conference on Circuits and Systems, and a NATO Science Fellowship Award in 1995.
