Abbreviated CV:

Abraham Matta received his Ph.D. in computer science from the University of Maryland at College Park in 1995. He is currently an associate professor at the Computer Science Department of Boston University. He leads the QoS Networking Laboratory and is a member of the Web and InterNetworking Group (WING). His research involves the design and analysis of QoS and wireless architectures and protocols. His recent projects investigate QoS routing, Internet topology and traffic analysis, Internet traffic controllers, and sensor networks.

Dr. Matta received the National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 1997. He was guest co-editor of a special issue on Reliable Transport Protocols for Mobile Computing in the Journal of Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing, February 2002. He was also guest co-editor of a special issue on Quality of Service Routing in the IEEE Communications Magazine, June 2002. He is currently on the Editorial Board of the Computer Networks Journal (COMNET), and on the Advisory Council of the IEEE International Symposium on Computers and Communications. He is the Internet Co-chair of IEEE Infocom 2005, and the Technical Program Co-chair of IEEE ICNP 2005.

He has served on the technical program committees of many conferences including INFOCOM, ICNP, GLOBECOM, and ICDCS. He was co-organizer and Technical Program Co-chair of NeXtworking 2003, a COST-IST (EU) and NSF-ANIR (USA) funded workshop in Crete, Greece. He was co-organizer and Technical Program Chair of IEEE ASWN 2004. He was Technical Program Co-chair of the First International Workshop on Wired/Wireless Internet Communications (WWIC 2002), and General Co-chair of WWIC 2004. He was Publication Chair of IEEE INFOCOM 2003, and Tutorial and Panel Chair of the 9th Hot Interconnects Symposium 2001. He served as session organizer and chair, reviewer, and panelist for NSF networking grant proposals, and was the representative of the IEEE Technical Committee on Computer Communications (TCCC) for GLOBECOM 1999. He is a member of IEEE and ACM.
