Thomas Anderson

Rik W. De Doncker

For contributions to understanding and
improving the performance, reliability,
and security of the Internet

For contributions to the development
of new components, topologies, and
controls in power electronic systems

Thomas Anderson's trailblazing network computing research has
improved the understanding of Internet routing behavior and
provided tools crucial to advancing Internet efficiency, reliability, and security. Dr. Anderson has developed novel techniques to
understand, diagnose, and repair broken or pathological Internet
routes essential to reducing the high number of service outages
that occur daily around the world. Working with colleagues, Dr.
Anderson was able to show that the shortest Internet path from
point A to B is often not the direct path but rather one from A to
C to B, and he developed a practical tool for identifying routerlevel paths in the reverse direction back to the source. He has also
created protocols for addressing Internet denial-of-service attacks
and reducing outages due to route protocol convergence.
An Association for Computing Machinery Fellow, Dr. Anderson is the Robert E. Dinning Professor of Computer Science and 
Engineering at the University of Washington, Seattle.

With more than 40 patents, Rik W. De Doncker's power electronics 
innovations for energy-efficient conversion and drive technologies
have impacted applications ranging from electric vehicles to advancing development of the electronically controlled power grid.
He developed the dual active bridge electronic dc-to-dc transformer in 1988, which was critical to energy supply systems for
the NASA space station. His auxiliary resonant commutated pole
converter developed in 1990 had important implications for efficient high-power converters. Developed in 1994, his converter
controller for low-voltage batteries in electric cars extends vehicle
range and has been incorporated by several car manufacturers. He
co-developed the first medium-voltage static transfer switch, which
has been deployed in the United States to prevent power grid sags.
An IEEE Fellow, Dr. De Doncker is a professor and head of the
Institute for Power Electronics and Electrical Drives and director
of the E. ON Energy Research Center at RWTH Aachen University, Germany.

IEEE Daniel E. Noble Award for Emerging Technologies

IEEE Donald O. Pederson Award in Solid-State Circuits

Sponsored by the Motorola Foundation

Jan P. Allebach

Anantha P. Chandrakasan

For the development of the ToneDependent Error Diffusion algorithm
used widely in inkjet and laser printers

For pioneering techniques in low-power
digital and analog CMOS design

Jan P. Allebach's innovative halftone imaging technology for highquality digital printing can be found in hundreds of millions of inkjet printers. Dr. Allebach's tone-dependent error diffusion (TDED)
algorithm overcame the poor image quality of early digital printers.
It is a core technology found in Hewlett-Packard products ranging
from affordable desktop printers to complex multifunction printing devices.The TDED is an enhancement of Dr. Allebach's direct
binary search (DBS) algorithm. Considered the gold standard for
dispersed-dot halftone imaging, the DBS algorithm wasn't suitable
for the needs of desktop printers. Dr. Allebach's team modified the
error diffusion architecture to overcome undesirable texture patterns caused by traditional error diffusion algorithms to create an
algorithm that could generate DBS-like images but for real-time
systems such as desktop linkjet printers.
An IEEE Fellow, Dr. Allebach is the Hewlett-Packard
Distinguished Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at Purdue University, West Lafayette, Ind.

Anantha P. Chandrakasan's pioneering work on low-power circuit
design methods has helped overcome one of the most important
design constraints in developing integrated circuits. He has published the most comprehensive body of work in the low-power
circuit field, enabling reduction in energy storage requirements
that constrain chip and device size. In 1994, Dr. Chandrakasan presented a complete low-power chip set for multimedia applications
requiring just 5 mW of power, at a time when chips required 100
times that level. A radical concept that is now commonplace, the
work resulted in a tablet computer that was the precursor to today's
handheld multimedia devices. He has continued to impact today's
low-power circuit design with key contributions to dynamic voltage scaling, ambient energy scavenging, ultra-low-power analogto-digital conversion, and micro-power radios.
An IEEE Fellow, Chandrakasan is the Joseph F. and Nancy P.
Keithley Professor of Electrical Engineering at the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology, Cambridge.
