This FAQ was originally developed by Brad Hards in the early 1990s. Phil Lapsley and Brad Hards traded off maintenance of the FAQ during the first several years of its life. Brad was also responsible for converting the FAQ to HTML. Franz Weller helped maintain the FAQ during 1995. (Brad and Franz are no longer involved with the FAQ, but we appreciate their help! Thanks, guys.) Phil Lapsley maintained the list in 1996. Ole Wolf took over next, and served until 1999.
The FAQ is currently maintained by Dave Gelbart. Chuck Corley is the "guest editor" of the DSP real-time operating system section.
Questions, comments, suggestions, and new material should be sent to comp-dsp-faq@bdti.com.
