IEEE INFOCOM Achievement Award
The IEEE INFOCOM Achievement Award is the highest honor that can be bestowed on a researcher in the INFOCOM community. The recipient should have a body of work that has had significant impacts on the networking community in general, and INFOCOM in particular.
2020 IEEE INFOCOM Achievement Award
Eytan Modiano
for contributions to the analysis and design of cross-layer resource allocation algorithms for wireless, optical, and satellite networks
Eytan Modiano has made pioneering contributions to the broad area of communication networks with applications to satellite, wireless, and optical systems. He is best known for his work on cross-layer network control, which resulted in novel algorithms for heterogeneous networks that jointly make optimal flow control, routing, and scheduling decisions based on queue-length information and physical layer channel conditions. He is also one of the most influential researchers in the area of optical networking and has a large body of work that deals with the networking challenges posed by advances in optical communication technologies. In recent years, he pioneered a new line of research in the area of geographically correlated failures to address network survivability. He is one of the most active contributors to INFOCOM and has consistently co-authored highly-cited papers published at INFOCOM. In addition to his pioneering technical contributions, Prof. Modiano has been a leader in the professional community, having served as an INFOCOM TPC Chair (2007) and currently serving as Editor-in-Chief of IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
An IEEE Fellow, Modiano is a professor at MIT, USA.
