Backoff Algorithms for Random Access Protocols
Nah-Oak Song is a Research Professor at the Center for Collaborative Internet Ecosystems at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.
Friends and former students of Prof. Demos Teneketzis (http://web.eecs.umich.edu/faculty/ten...) are celebrating his 65th birthday with a Workshop on Information, Decisions, and Networks in his honor.
The title of the workshop reflects the breadth of Demos' research interests. He has made fundamental contributions to information structures in decentralized stochastic control, decentralized sequential detection, multi-armed bandits, scheduling resource allocation and routing in networks, diagnosability in discrete event systems, real-time communication and information theory, mechanism design, energy markets, and cyber-physical security.
In addition, Demos is an exemplary teacher who has educated numerous students on stochastics through his popular courses on stochastic processes and stochastic control. Demos has graduated 21 Ph.D. students, who have gone on to pursue successful careers in academia and industry. He is currently supervising four Ph.D. students.
