Discrete-Event Control of Stochastic Networks: Multimodularity and Regularity (eBook)

Eitan Altman received the B.Sc.in electrical engineering (1984), the B.A. degree in physics (1984) and the Ph.D. degree in electrical engineering (1990), all from the Technion-Israel Institute, Haifa. In (1990) he further received his B.Mus. degree in music composition at Tel-Aviv University. Since 1990, he has been with INRIA Sophia-Antipolis, France. His current research interests include performance evaluation and control of telecommunication networks and in particular, wireless communications and networking games. He is in the editorial board of the journals: DGAA (Dynamic Games and Applications) and JEDC, and served in the editorial board of the journals Stochastic Models, COMNET, SIAM SICON, WINET and JDEDs. He has been the general chairman and the (co)chairman of the program committee of several international conferences and workshops (on game theory, networking games and mobile networks). He is the steering committee chair of WIOPT and of NetGCoop and a Fellow member of IEEE. Tania Jimenez received her Ph.D. from University of Nice Sophia-Antipolis, France in 2000. She was Assistant Professor at Universidad de Los Andes, Venezuela from 2000 to 2002, in the Center of Models and Simulation (CeSiMo). She is at present a research engineer at Avignon University, in the Informatics Lab (http://lia.univ-avignon.fr). Her research interests include simulation as well as optimization and control of telecommunication networks.
