Scheduling and Congestion Control for Wireless and Processing Networks

Libin Jiang received the bachelor of engineering degree in electronic engineering and nformation science from the University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China, in 2003,the master of philosophy degree in information engineering from the Chinese University of Hong Kong, Shatin,Hong Kong, in 2005, and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering and computer sciences from the University of California, Berkeley, in 2009. His research interest includes wireless networks, communications, and game theory. He received the David Sakrison Memorial Prize for outstanding doctoral research in UC Berkeley, and the best presentation award in the ACM Mobihoc'09 S3 Workshop.Jean Walrand received his Ph.D. in EECS from UC Berkeley, and has been on the faculty of that department since 1982. He is the author of An Introduction to Queueing Networks (Prentice Hall, 1988) and of Communication Networks: A First Course (2nd ed. McGraw-Hill,1998), and co-author of High-Performance Communication Networks (2nd ed, Morgan Kaufman, 2000) and of Scheduling and Congestion Control for Communication and Processing Networks (Morgan & Claypool, 2010). His research interests include stochastic processes, queuing theory, communication networks, game theory and the economics of the Internet. Prof. Walrand is a Fellow of the Belgian American Education Foundation and of the IEEE, and a recipient of the Lanchester Prize and of the Stephen O. Rice Prize.
