N1 - Funding Information: MengChu Zhou (S’88–M’90–SM’93–F’03) received the B.S. degree in electrical engineering from the Nanjing University of Science and Technology, Nanjing, China, in 1983, the M.S. degree in automatic control from the Beijing Institute of Technology, Beijing, China, in 1986, and the Ph.D. degree in computer and systems engineering from the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, in 1990. He joined the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT), Newark, in 1990, where he is currently a Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering. His research interests are in computer-integrated systems, Petri nets, manufacturing, and embedded control. He has over 200 publications including six books, over 80 journal papers, and 14 book chapters. He coedited with M. P. Fanti Deadlock Resolution in Computer-Integrated Systems (Marcel Dekker, 2005). Dr. Zhou is a Life Member of the Chinese Association for Science and Technology-USA and served as its President in 1999. He was the recipient of NSF’s Research Initiation Award, CIM University-LEAD Award by the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, Perlis Research Award by the NJIT, Humboldt Research Award for U.S. Senior Scientists, Leadership Award and Academic Achievement Award by the Chinese Association for Science and Technology-USA, Asian American Achievement Award by the Asian American Heritage Council of New Jersey, and Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE SMC Society. He served as an Associate Editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON ROBOTICS AND AUTOMATION from 1997 to 2000 and is currently the Managing Editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SYSTEMS, MAN AND CYBERNETICS—PART C, Associate Editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATION AND ENGINEERING, and Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Intelligent Control and Systems. He was a founding General Co-Chair of the 2004 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensors and Control, Taipei, March 21–23, 2004. He organized and chaired over 70 technical sessions and served on program committees for many conferences. He has served as Program Chair or Co-Chair and General Co-Chair of the 1998, 2001, 2003, and 2006 IEEE International Conference on Systems, Man and Cybernetics (SMC), Program Chair of the 1997 IEEE International Conference on Emerging Technologies and Factory Automation, Program and General Chair of the 2006 IEEE International Conference on Networking, Sensors and Control, and Guest Editor for the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS and IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING. He has led or participated in 28 research and education projects with a total budget of over 10 million dollars, funded by the National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, Engineering Foundation, New Jersey Science and Technology Commission, and industry. He was the founding Chair of the Discrete Event Systems Technical Committee of the IEEE SMC Society and a Co-Chair (founding) of the Semiconductor Factory Automation Technical Committee of the IEEE Robotics and Automation Society.
