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 principal 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 in the Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Blacksburg, Virginia. Dr. Hou's research interests are in algorithmic design and optimization for complex network systems. His current research focuses on wireless ad hoc networks, sensor networks, and video over 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.
Parameswaran Ramanathan received the B.Tech. degree from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, in 1984, and the M.S.E. and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1986 and 1989, respectively. Since 1989, he has been a faculty member with the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Wisconsin-Madison, where is presently a Full Professor. He leads research projects in the areas of sensor networks and next-generation cellular technology. His research interests include wireless and wireline networking, real-time systems, fault-tolerant computing, and distributed systems. Dr. Ramanathan is presently an Associate Editor for the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing and Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks Journal. He served as an Associate Editor for IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Computing from 1996 to 1999.
