    Harry G. Perros is a Professor of Computer Science, an Alumni Distinguished Graduate Professor, and the Program Coordinator of the Master of Science degree in Computer Networks at NC State University.

    He received the B.Sc. degree in Mathematics in 1970 from Athens University, Greece, the M.Sc. degree in Operational Research with Computing from Leeds University, England, in 1971, and the Ph.D. degree in Operations Research from Trinity College Dublin, Ireland, in 1975. He has held visiting faculty positions at INRIA, Rocquencourt, France (1979), NORTEL, Research Triangle Park, North Carolina (1988-89 and 1995-96), University of Paris 6, France (1995-96, 2000, and 2002), University of Paris 13, France (2005-2006), and Victoria University, Wellington, New Zealand (2006).

    He has published extensively in the area of performance modelling of computer and communication systems, and he has organized several national and international conferences. He has also published three print books: Queueing Networks with Blocking: Exact and Approximate Solutions, Oxford University Press 1994, An Introduction to ATM Networks, Wiley 2001, Connection-Oriented Networks, Wiley 2005, and an e-book Computer Simulation Techniques – The Definitive Introduction, 2002.

    His current research interests are in the areas of optical networks, grids, and service engineering.

    Guy Leduc is full professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department of the University of Liège, and is since 1997 the head of the Research Unit in Networking (RUN). He graduated as an electrical (electronics) engineer in 1983 with the highest distinction and got his doctorate in computer science in 1991, both from the University of Liège, Belgium. From 1983 to 1997 he has been a researcher at FNRS (the Belgian Fund for Scientific Research) and is now Honorary FNRS Senior Research Associate. He is also part-time professor at the University of Brussels (ULB) since 1994.

     

    His current main research area is on computer networks, and more specifically on traffic engineering, mobile communication, congestion control, multicast and autonomic/active/programmable networks. He is a project partner in TOTEM on traffic engineering, in MOTION on mobile communications, and in ANA on autonomic networking, and was a partner in the E-NEXT European network of excellence.

    Simon Balon is a PhD student in Research Unit in Networking (RUN), University de Liege (ULg). In 2006, he obtained a Master in Applied Science (DEA) with the Highest Distinction summa cum laude (PGDF). He is the author of several papers in international conferences and magazines.

     

    He has worked on a basic problem in the Taffic Engineering field. He has also proposed a new method to approach optimal Traffic Engineering routing. Now he is working on the interactions between intradomain and interdomain Traffic Engineering techniques.
