Biography
Ted G. Lewis was a professor of computer science and Executive Director of the Center for Homeland Defense and Security at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He has previously held a variety of positions within IEEE Computer Science (EIC of IEEE software, EIC of IEEE COMPUTER), industry (CEO Daimler Chrysler Research and Technology NA, Senior Vice President of Eastman Kodak) and academia (University of Louisiana, Oregon State University, Naval Postgraduate School). Lewis is the author of over 30 books and 100 papers on computing, critical infrastructure, and complexity.
"Lewis (emer., Naval Postgraduate School) offers a personal view of the history of signal processing. The historical aspect is accessible, but the mathematics is not for beginners.
Still, this work provides a brief overview of important advanced concepts in approximately historical order and might serve well in advanced courses as a basis for understanding just how much there is to grasp about signal processing."
