Kemin Zhou received the B.S. degree from Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1982 and the M.S.E.E.
and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Minnesota in 1986 and 1988, respectively. Since 1990, he has been with
Louisiana State University where he is the Roy Paul Daniels Distinguished Professor and Mark and Carolyn C. Guidry
Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering. He is an author of three books in control engineering: Robust
and Optimal Control (Prentice Hall, 1995), Essentials of Robust Control (Prentice Hall, 1997), andIntroduction to
Feedback Control (Pearson Prentice Hall, 2009). He is or was an associate editor of Automatica, IEEE Transactions
on Automatic Control, SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, Systems and Control Letters, Journal of System
Sciences and Complexity, and Journal of Control Theory and Applications. His work has been cited more than 7,800
times according to Science Citation Index. He is a Fellow of IEEE (2003), AAAS (2011) and IFAC(2013). 

Daniel W. C. Ho received a first class BSc, MSc and PhD degrees in mathematics from the University of Salford (UK)
in 1980, 1982 and 1986 respectively. From 1985 to 1988, he was a Research Fellow in Industrial Control Unit,
University of Strathclyde (Glasgow, Scotland). In 1989, he joined the Department of Mathematics, City University of
Hong Kong. Prof. Ho is Associate Editor of Asian Journal of Control, Journal of Franklin Institute, International
Journal of Automation and Computing and a member of Editorial board of IET Control Theory & Applications, Systems
Science and Control Engineering (An Open Access Journal), Dynamics of Continuous, Discrete and Impulsive Systems:
Series B (Applications & Algorithm). He is also a senior member of IEEE. His research interests include control theory,
estimation and filtering theory, complex dynamical distributed networks, multi-agent networks, nonlinear singular
systems and stochastic systems.

Zhendong Sun obtained the Ph.D. degree at the Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics in 1996. From June
1996 to June 1998, he was a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Department of Automation, Tsinghua University. From
July 1998 to Oct. 2002, he was with the Faculty of Science, Beijing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics, as
an Associate Professor. From Nov. 2002 to Dec. 2005, he had been with the Hamilton Institute, National University of
Ireland, Maynooth, as a Senior Research Fellow. He joined the Center of Control and Optimization, South China
University of Technology, in Sept. 2005, as a Full Professor. Since May 2012, he has been with the Academy of
Mathematics and Systems Science, Chinese Academy of Sciences, as a Researcher. Dr. Sun's current research interests
are in the fields of nonlinear control systems, switched and hybrid systems, and multi-agent systems. He is the author
of the monographs ``Switched Linear Systems-Control and Design'' and "Stability Theory of Switched Dynamical Systems
(London: Springer, 2005 & 2011, both co-authored with S. S. Ge).  He is currently supported by the National
Distinguished Young Scholars Science Foundation of China.
