Abdelhamid MELLOUK (IEEE Senior Member) is a full professor at University of Paris-Est (UPEC), Networks & Telecommunications (N&T) Department and LiSSi Laboratory, France. He graduated in computer network engineering from the Computer Science High Eng. School, University of Paris Sud XI Orsay, received his Ph.D. in informatics from the same university, and a Doctorate of Sciences (Habilitation) diploma from UPEC. Founder of the Network Control Research activity with extensive international academic and industrial collaborations, his general area of research is in adaptive real-time control for high-speed new generation dynamic wired/wireless networking in order to maintain acceptable quality of service/experience for added value services. He is an active member of the IEEE Communications Society and held several offices including leadership positions in IEEE Communications Society Technical Committees (Chair of The Technical Committee on Communications Software, Leader Officer of The Technical Committee on Switching and Routing). He has published/coordinated five books and several refereed international publications in journals, conferences, and books, in addition to numerous keynotes and plenary talks in flagship venues. He serves on the Editorial Boards or as Associate Editor for several journals, and he is chairing or has chaired (or co-chaired) some of the top international conferences and symposia (includling IEEE ICC and IEEE GlobeCom).
