Piotr Chołda graduated from AGH University of Science and Technology (Krakow, Poland) as a master of science in networking in 2001. Afterwards, he obtained a doctorate in telecommunications in 2006 from the same university. Then, he joined the Department of Telecommunications there, and now he works as an Assistant Professor.
He specializes in design of computer and communications networks. Although his background comes from technology, as he started his research in the reliability modelling and optimization of resilient multi-layer long-haul networks (like the ones based on GMPLS, that is, generalized multi-protocol label switching), later he moved towards to softer problems, like the effective provisioning of services to the network clients. Thus,  he extended his interests to problems embracing the so-called Quality of Recovery (QoR), resilience-based differentiation in communications/computer networks and QoS/QoR for peer-to-peer networking. Recently, Piotr has focused on risk-based communications networking, as he perceives this area as a very promising research field, where the interface between business needs and threats from one side and the resilience technology from the other can be used to obtain a practical equilibrium where the balance between client needs and technological possibilities can be found.
 
Dr. Cholda is the co-author of eleven refereed journal papers and two conference tutorials. He is the recipient of the Communications QoS, Reliability and Performance Modeling Symposium Best Paper Award from ICC’06. He worked on network recovery problems in some of the 6. and 7. European Projects (IP Nobel/Nobel II, NoE EuroNGI/EuroFGI/EuroNF, SmoothIT). He was a Technical Program Committee (TPC) Co-Chair of NGI 2008 and NGI 2012, a TPC Co-Chair of Communications QoS, Reliability and Modelling Symposium at ICC 2011, and a TPC Co-Chair of DRCN 2011. Now, he serves as a TPC Co-Chair of NOMS 2014.

Mirosław Kantor received a M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in telecommunications from AGH University of Science and Technology, Krakow, Poland, in 2001 and 2011, respectively. He works at the Department of Telecommunications at the same university. His research interests focus on techno-economic analysis of telecommunication networks, Internet routing, inter-domain traffic optimization. He is a co-author of more than 20 technical papers.

Rafal Stankiewicz (rafal.stankiewicz@agh.edu.pl) is an assistant professor at the Department of Telecommunications of AGH University of Science and Technology, Kraków, Poland. He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in Telecommunications from AGH University of Science and Technology in 1999 and 2007, respectively. His research interests focuses on network quality and reliability, quality of experience, performance evaluation and analytical modeling, statistical analysis of telecommunications traffic, cloud computing as well as traffic management concepts for overlay networking. He is an author of several conference and journal research papers and co-author of one book. He was involved in 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th FP European programs including the following projects: BTI (IP), LION (IP), NOBEL (IP), EuroNGI (NoE), EuroFGI (NoE), EuroNF (NoE), SmoothIT (Strep). He served as technical program committee member for several conferences and as a reviewer of papers submitted to journals (e.g. IEEE Communications Magazine, Computer Networks, Performance Evaluation, and other) ) as well as top scientific conferences in area of telecommunications (e.g. IEEE Globecom and ICC). He is a member of IEEE.

Piotr Chołda graduated from AGH University of Science and Technology (Krakow, Poland) as a master of science in networking in 2001. Afterwards, he obtained a doctorate in telecommunications in 2006 from the same university. Then, he joined the Department of Telecommunications there, and now he works as an Assistant Professor.
He specializes in design of computer and communications networks. Although his background comes from technology, as he started his research in the reliability modelling and optimization of resilient multi-layer long-haul networks (like the ones based on GMPLS, that is, generalized multi-protocol label switching), later he moved towards to softer problems, like the effective provisioning of services to the network clients. Thus,  he extended his interests to problems embracing the so-called Quality of Recovery (QoR), resilience-based differentiation in communications/computer networks and QoS/QoR for peer-to-peer networking. Recently, Piotr has focused on risk-based communications networking, as he perceives this area as a very promising research field, where the interface between business needs and threats from one side and the resilience technology from the other can be used to obtain a practical equilibrium where the balance between client needs and technological possibilities can be found.
 
Dr. Cholda is the co-author of eleven refereed journal papers and two conference tutorials. He is the recipient of the Communications QoS, Reliability and Performance Modeling Symposium Best Paper Award from ICC’06. He worked on network recovery problems in some of the 6. and 7. European Projects (IP Nobel/Nobel II, NoE EuroNGI/EuroFGI/EuroNF, SmoothIT). He was a Technical Program Committee (TPC) Co-Chair of NGI 2008 and NGI 2012, a TPC Co-Chair of Communications QoS, Reliability and Modelling Symposium at ICC 2011, and a TPC Co-Chair of DRCN 2011. Now, he serves as a TPC Co-Chair of NOMS 2014.
He is a member of editorial boards of  IEEE Communications Surveys and Tutorials and Transactions on Emerging Telecommunications Technologies. He also leads the Book Review Column in IEEE Communications Magazine.
