Samuel Davey received the Bachelor of Engineering, Master of
Mathematical Science and PhD degrees from the University of
Adelaide, Australia, in 1996, 1999, and 2003, respectively. Since
1995 he has worked for the Defence Science and Technology Group,
Australia, in the areas of target tracking, tracker performance
assessment, and multi-sensor fusion. He is a Visiting Research
Fellow at the University of Adelaide and a Senior Member of the
IEEE.
Neil Gordon received a PhD in Statistics from Imperial College
London in 1993. He was with the Defence Evaluation and Research
Agency in the UK until 2002 working on missile guidance and
statistical data processing. He is best known for initiating the
particle filter approach to nonlinear, non-Gaussian dynamic
estimation which is now in widespread use throughout the world in
many diverse disciplines. He is the co-author/co-editor of two
books on particle filtering. In 2002 he moved to the Defence
Science and Technology Group in Adelaide, Australia where he is
currently head of Data and Information Fusion. In 2014 he became an
Honorary Professor with the School of Information Technology and
Electrical Engineering at the University of Queensland. He is a
Senior Member of the IEEE.
Ian Holland received the Bachelor of Electronic and Communication
Engineering in 2000 and a PhD in wireless telecommunications in
2005, both from Curtin University of Technology, Western Australia.
Since then he has held positions in the University of Western
Australia, the Institute for Telecommunications Research at the
University of South Australia, EMS Satcom Pacific and Lockheed
Martin Australia. Since January 2011, Ian has been working as a
Research Scientist in Protected Satellite Communications at the
Defence Science and Technology Group.
Mark Rutten received the Bachelor of Science, Bachelor of
Engineering and Master of Mathematical Science from the University
of Adelaide in 1995, 1996 and 1999, respectively and a PhD from the
University of Melbourne in 2005 on Multipath Tracking for Over the
Horizon Radars. He has worked on data and information fusion for
the Defence Science and Technology Group since 1996. His research
interests include nonlinear state estimation, target tracking and
multi-sensor fusion.
Jason Williams received degrees of Bachelor of Engineering in
Electronics andBachelor of Information Technology from Queensland
University of Technology in 1999, Master of Science in Electrical
Engineering from the United States Air Force Institute of
Technology in 2003, and PhD in Electrical Engineering and Computer
Science from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 2007. He
worked for several years as an engineering officer in the Royal
Australian Air Force, before joining Australia's Defence Science
and Technology Group in 2007. He is also an Adjunct Senior Lecturer
at the University of Adelaide. His research interests include
target tracking, sensor resource management, Markov random fields
and convex optimisation.
"I enjoyed every moment of reading this book, which is pedagogical, informative, and full of suspense. The writing is crisp and to the point, illustrating the depth and complexity of current aviation accident investigation techniques and the skills of the experts in this field. I advise both statisticians and aviation enthusiasts to have a look at this book ... ." (P. Jouvelot, Computing Reviews, April, 2017)
