Markus Rupp was bornin 1963 in Völklingen, Germany. He received his Dipl.-Ing. Degree in 1988 atthe University of Saarbrücken, Germany, and his Dr.-Ing. degree in 1993 at theTechnische Universität Darmstadt, Germany, where he worked with EberhardtHänsler on designing new algorithms for acoustic and electrical echocompensation. From November 1993 until July 1995, he held a postdoctoralposition at the University of Santa Barbara, California, with Sanjit Mitrawhere he worked with Ali H. Sayed on a robustness description of adaptivefilters with impact on neural networks and active noise control. From October1995 until August 2001, he was a member of Technical Staff at the WirelessTechnology Research Department of Bell-Labs in Crawford Hill, NJ, where heworked on various topics related to adaptive equalization and rapidimplementation for IS-136, 802.11 and UMTS. In October 2001 he was appointed aFull Professor of Digital Signal Processing in Mobile Communications at theTechnische Universität (TU) Wien, where he served as the Dean from 2005 to 2007and from 2016 to 2017. He was associate editor of IEEE Transactions on SignalProcessing from 2002 to 2005 and is currently associate editor of JASP EURASIPJournal on Advances in Signal Processing, and JES EURASIP Journal on EmbeddedSystems. He is a Fellow of the IEEE and was elected AdCom Member of EURASIPfrom 2004 to 2012, serving as President of EURASIP from 2009 to 2010. He hasauthored and co-authored more than 500 scientific papers, including 15 patentson adaptive filtering and wireless communications. Stefan Schwarz wasborn in Neunkirchen, Austria, in 1984. He received his B.Sc. degree inelectrical engineering and his Dipl.-Ing. degree (M.Sc. equivalent) intelecommunications engineering with the highest distinctions in 2007 and 2009,respectively, both at TU Wien. He also received his Dr. techn. degree (Ph.D.equivalent) in telecommunications engineering with the highestdistinctions in 2013 at TU Wien. In 2010 he received the
