Charles W. Bostian is the Alumni Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Virginia Tech, USA. His students and he have made many contributions to cognitive radio, including developing the basic terminology and building some of the first working prototypes. Bostian has co-authored three other radio communications books, several book chapters, and a number of journal articles and conference presentations.Nicholas J. Kaminski conducts research focused on extending the bounds of wireless technology by deploying targeted intelligence to act in harmony with flexible radio systems. He advances distributed radio intelligence through experimentation-based research and is co-principal investigator on several European projects that create and develop experimentation platforms and services for wireless research. He also furthers wireless communications by incorporating techniques for understanding communications from complex systems science.Almohanad S. Fayez is a Software Engineer at Intel in Sort Test Technology Development (STTD) where he is involved in the design and development of Intel's next generation of silicon test modules. His interests include high performance computing, embedded systems, software defined radio, wireless networks while focusing on implementation and practical system considerations.

'Cognitive Radio Engineering by Charles W. Bostian, Nicholas J. Kaminski, and Almohanad S. Fayez is an excellent overview of all aspects of cognitive radio. While the book draws most of its examples from work done at Virginia Tech, the scope of the book is comprehensive. Its eight chapters lead readers from the the basic definition of a cognitive radio through cognitive radio hardware and software and finally into the performance evaluation and application of cognitive radio.'
