N1 - Funding Information: Nitin Vaidya received the PhD degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He is presently an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) . He has held visiting positions at Microsoft Research, Sun Microsystems, and the Indian Institute of Technology-Bombay. Prior to joining UIUC, he served as an associate professor of computer science at Texas A&M University. His current research is in the areas of wireless networking and mobile computing. In particular, he has performed research on routing and medium access control protocols for wireless ad hoc networks, distributed algorithms on ad hoc networks, performance of TCP over wireless networks, and security in wireless networks. His research has been funded by various agencies, including the US National Science Foundation (NSF), DARPA, BBN Technologies, Microsoft Research, and Sun Microsystems. He is a recipient of a CAREER award from the NSF. He has served on the program committees of several conferences and workshops, and served as the General Chair for the 2001 ACM Symposium on Mobile Ad Hoc Networking and Computing (MobiHoc). He serves on the editorial boards of the IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, Computer Networks, and ACM/Kluwer Wireless Networks journals. He is a senior member of the IEEE Computer Society and a member of the ACM. Funding Information: Mani Srivastava received the MS and PhD degrees from the University of California at Berkeley in 1987 and 1992, respectively. He is an associate professor of electrical engineering at the University of Califor-nia Los Angeles (UCLA), where he also directs the Networked and Embedded Systems Laboratory. Prior to joining UCLA, he was in the Networked Computing Research Department at AT&T/Lucent Bell Laboratories from 1992 to 1996. His research is broadly on mobile and wireless computing applica-tions, protocols, and system design, and is funded by DARPA, NSF, ONR, and SRC. Current research projects include protocols and middleware services for sensor networks, smart spaces technologies for childhood education, power and energy-aware computing and communication systems, agent-based reconfigurable and highly mobile multimedia networks, system-on-chips for wireless networked systems, and reconfigurable wireless terminals and basestations. He has published more than 90 peer-reviewed papers in various journals and conferences and book chapters, in mobile computing, wireless networking, low power systems, and design tools for embedded systems, and was a co-inventor on five US patents in mobile networking and low-power wireless systems. He has served on the technical program committees of various conferences in networking and embedded systems such as the International Symposium on Low Power Design, ACM Mobicom, IEEE Infocom, International Conference on VLSI Design, etc. He serves as an area editor (energy conservation and power management) for the ACM SIGMO-BILE Mobile Computing and Communications Review Magazine and is on the editorial board of John Wiley’s Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing Journal. He was a coguest editor of IEEE Personal Communications October 2000 special issue on smart spaces and environments: networking the physical world. He received the Okawa Foundation Grant in 1998, the US National Science Foundation CAREER Award in 1997, the Best Paper Award at the IEEE International Conference on Distributed Computing Systems in 1997, and the President of India’s Gold Medal in 1985. He is a senior member of the IEEE. Funding Information: Wade H. Shaw Jr. completed the PhD degree at Clemson University. He is a professor of engineering and technology management in the College of Engineering at the Florida Institute of Technology. He is a fellow of the IEEE cited for his work in engineering management and education. Previously, he served as associate dean of technology in the College of Engineering and chair of the Engineering Management Program. His areas of teaching, consulting, and research include engineering and operations management, simulation modeling, systems analysis, and process improvement. He has published more than 60 papers and his research work has been supported by industry, NSF, DoD, ARPA, NIST, and SRC. Dr. Shaw was the 2000/2001 president of the Engineering Management Society of the IEEE and he chairs the Technical Advisory Board of Airwire.net, a wireless broadband provider. Funding Information: Brian Noble completed the PhD degree in computer science at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, in 1998. He is an assistant professor in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Department at the University of Michigan. His research centers on software supporting mobile devices and their users. He is a recipient of the US National Science Foundation CAREER award. He is a member of the IEEE.
