Fred W. Ellersick Prize
Per
Johansson is a senior researcher at Ericsson Corporate
Researcher at Ercisson Corporate Research, Stockholm, Sweden.
He joined Ericsson in 1992 to work in the areas of traffic
management and performance analysis of ATM networks.
He later
moved into research on wireless systems, where his research
has focused on ad networks and, in particular, on Blue tooth
ad hoc networking. Since 1998 he has managed a research team
at Ericsson Research that focuses on IP networking aspects
on Blue tooth. Currently, he is a visiting researcher at the
Wireless Adaptive Mobility Lab at University of California,
Los Angeles (UCLA), where he takes an active part in the Blue
tooth ad hoc networking research.
Manthos Kazantzidis received his Diploma degree in Computer
Engineering and Informatics in 1995 from the University of
Patras, Greece. He received his Masters of Science in Computer
Science in 1998 from University of California, Los Angeles
and is a Ph.D. candidate and a member of the Wireless Adaptive
Mobility Lab at UCLA. He has accepted a Post-Doctorate Researcher
position at UCLA starting June 2002. His thesis research focuses
on wireless network architectures for multimedia support,
including the Internet, networks with wireless and mobile
links and ad-hoc networks.
He specializes in multimedia transport protocols and his research
interests include adaptive multimedia and TCP, end-to-end
measurements, transport protocols, network QoS support, wireless
MAC layers, personal area networks, middleware architectures,
session transfer and handoff architectures and proxy and multimedia
systems. His work has been part of TRAVLER, I-MASH and currently
the Minute Man project.
Rohit Kapoor received his B.E. in Computer Science in
1999 from the University of Roorkee, India. He is currently
a Ph.D. candidate at the UCLA. His research focuses on performances
issues in Blue tooth piconets and scatternets. He is a member
of the Network Research Lab at UCLA.
Mario Gerla received a graduate degree in Engineering
from the Politecnico di Milano in 1966, and the M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in Engineering from UCLA in 1970 and 1973, respectively.
After working for Network Analysis Corporation from 1973 to
1976, he joined the Faculty of the Computer Science Department
at UCLA. His research interests cover the performance evaluation,
design and control of distributed computer communication systems;
high speed computer networks; wireless LANs, and; ad hoc wireless
networks.
He has
worked on the design, implementation and testing of various
wireless ad hoc network protocols (channel access, clustering,
routing and transport) within the DARPA WAMIS, GloMo projects
and most recently the ONR MINUTEMAN project. He is also conducting
research on QoS routing, multicasting protocols and TCP transport
for the Next Generation Internet (see www.cs.ucla.edu/NRL
for recent publications).
