Abbas Jamalipour is a Fellow of the IEEE (for contributions to next generation networks for traffic control), a Fellow of Engineers Australia, and a Distinguished Lecturer of the IEEE Communications Society. He holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Nagoya University, Japan. He is the author of three books including the first technical book on networking aspects of wireless IP, The Wireless Mobile Internet – Architectures, Protocols and Services, John Wiley & Sons 2003 and the first book on LEO satellite communication networks with Artech House in 1998, Low Earth Orbital Satellites for Personal Communication Networks. He has authored seven technical book chapters on wireless telecommunications and over 190 papers in scholarly journals and international conferences, and given 20 keynote/invited talks as well as 30 tutorials in major international conferences. During his talks presented since early 2000, he disseminated the fundamental concepts of the next generation networks and convergence networks as well as the integration of WLAN and cellular networks; some of which are being gradually deployed by industry and included in the ITU-T standards. He holds two international patents in the field of wireless communications. His teaching and research are in the field of wireless data communication networks, wireless IP networks, next generation mobile networks, network security, and satellite systems. Professor Jamalipour is the Editor-in-Chief IEEE Wireless Communications, a technical editor of the IEEE Communications, the Wiley International Journal of Communication Systems, Journal of Communications and Networks (JCN), the International Journal of Sensor Networks, and the International Journal of Business Data Communications and Networking. He was the Chair of the Satellite and Space Communications Technical Committee 2004-2006, and he is currently the Vice Chair of the Communication Switching and Routing Technical Committee, and Chair of the Asia Pacific Board, Chapters Coordination Committee, all of the IEEE Communications Society. He has organized the first series of special issues on 4G and Beyond 3G mobile cellular networks and several other special issues on topics related to wireless communications and broadband convergence networks in IEEE publications and other journals. Dr Jamalipour was the Symposium Program Chair for IEEE GLOBECOM2001 and IEEE Vehicular Technology Conference-Fall 2003, Technical Program Chair for the 2004 International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems - SPECTS2004, Technical Program Vice Chair of IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference - WCNC2004, WCNC2005, WCNC2006, Co-Chair of Symposium on Next Generation Networks for Universal Services, IEEE International Conference on Communications - ICC2005, Technical Program Vice-Chair IEEE High Performance Switching and Routing Workshop - HPSR2005, Chair of the Wireless Communications Symposium, IEEE GLOBECOM2005, Co-Chair of Symposium on Next Generation Mobile Networks, IEEE International Conference on Communications - ICC2006, Technical Program Co-Chair of Symposium on Satellite and Space Communications, IEEE GLOBECOM2006, Co-Chair of Communications QoS, Reliability and Performance Modeling Symposium, IEEE ICC2007 and ICC2008, and Co-Chair of the Wireless Networking Symposium, IEEE GLOBECOM2007. He is currently the Technical Program Co-Chair of IEEE Radio & Wireless Symposium (RWS2008), Workshop Chair of the IEEE ICC2008, and Tutorial Chair of the IEEE GLOBECOM2008.
