Bo Li received his B. Eng. (summa cum laude) and M. Eng. degrees in computer science from Tsinghua University, Beijing in 1987 and 1989, respectively, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical and computer engineering from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst in 1993. Between 1993 and 1996, he worked on high performance routers and ATM switches in IBM Networking System Division, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina. Since 1996, he has been with the Department of Computer Science, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, where he is now an associate professor and director for the ATM/IP Cooperate Research Center, a government sponsored research center. Since 1999, he has also held an adjunct researcher position at the Microsoft Research Asia (MSRA), Beijing, China. His research interests are on adaptive video multicast, packet scheduling and dynamic routing in optical networks, resource management in mobile wireless systems, scheduling and energy efficient routing in ad hoc networks, cross-layer design for sensor networks, and content distribution and replication. He has published 70 journal papers and held several patents in the above areas. He has been on the editorial board for IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Transactions on Vehicular Technology, ACM/Kluwer Journal of Wireless Networks (WINET), IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications (JSAC)—Wireless Communications Series, ACM Mobile Computing and Communications Review (MC2R), Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks, SPIE/Kluwer Optical Networking Magazine (ONM), KICS/IEEE Journal of Communications and Networks (JCN). He served as a guest editor for IEEE Communications Magazine Special Issue on Active, Programmable, and Mobile Code Networking (April 2000), ACM Performance Evaluation Review Special Issue on Mobile Computing (December 2000), and SPIE/Kluwer Optical Networks Magazine Special Issue in Wavelength Routed Networks: Architecture, Protocols and Experiments (January/February 2002), IEEE Journal on Selected Areas in Communications Special Issues on Protocols for Next Generation Optical WDM Networks (October 2000), on Recent Advances in Service Overlay Networks (January 2004), and on Quality of Service Delivery in Variable Topology Networks (September 2004), respectively. In addition, He has been involved in organizing over 40 conferences, including IEEE INFOCOM since 1996, which he served as technical program co-chair in 2004.
Y. Thomas Hou obtained his B.E. degree from the City College of New York in 1991, the M.S. degree from Columbia University in 1993, and the Ph.D. degree from Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, New York, in 1998, all in Electrical Engineering. From 1997 to 2002, Dr. Hou was a research scientist and project leader at Fujitsu Laboratories of America, IP Networking Research Department, Sunnyvale, California (Silicon Valley). Since Fall 2002, he has been an assistant professor at Virginia Tech, the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Blacksburg, Virginia. Dr. Hou's research interests are in the algorithmic design and optimization for complex network systems. His current research focuses on wireless sensor networks and multimedia over wireless ad hoc networks. In recent years, he has worked on scalable architectures, protocols, and implementations for differentiated services Internet; service overlay networking; multimedia streaming over the Internet; and network bandwidth allocation policies and distributed flow control algorithms. He has published extensively in the above areas and is a co-recipient of the 2002 IEEE International Conference on Network Protocols (ICNP) Best Paper Award and the 2001 IEEE Transactions on Circuits and Systems for Video Technology (CSVT) Best Paper Award. He is a member of ACM and a senior member of IEEE.
Jiangchuan Liu is an assistant professor in the School of Computing Science at Simon Fraser University, Vancouver, BC, Canada. From 2003 to 2004, he was an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. He received the B. Eng. in computer science from Tsinghua University, Beijing, in 1999, and PhD in computer science from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology in 2003. His research interests include multicast protocols, streaming media, wireless ad hoc networks, and service overlay networks. He is the first recipient of Microsoft Research Fellowship (2000) in Hong Kong, a recipient of 2003 Hong Kong Young Scientist Award, and a co-inventor of two US patents (pending) and one European patent (granted). He serves on the technical program committees of various networking conferences, including IEEE INFOCOM 2004 and 2005, and was an information system co-chair for INFOCOM 2004. He is a member of IEEE and Sigma Xi.
Gam D. Nguyen received the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering from the University of Maryland, College Park, MD in 1990. He has been at the Naval Research Laboratory, Washington, DC, since 1991. His research interests include communication systems, computer communication networks, and information processing.
Taieb F. Znati received a Ph.D. degree in computer science from Michigan State University in 1988, and a M.S. degree in computer science from Purdue University, in 1984.
