20th Asian School on Computer Science

Date:   15-16 November 2009
Venue: B-108 AITCC, AIT, Thailand

Instructor: Giovanni Pau, UCLA, USA

Giovanni Pau is a Research Scientist at the Network Research Lab,   Computer Science Department, UCLA.  His research interests include vehicular networks and mobile computer network environments, including both wired and wireless (ad hoc) networks, with a focus on the design, implementation, and performance evaluation.

In 2008, Giovanni Pau and Paolo Lutterotti  are the Recipients of the 2008 Qualnet University Program award of Distinction at the “Qualnet World 2008” for the 2008 best innovation in Network Simulation.

 

The Asian School of Computer Science is conducted annually by Asian Institute of Technology, Thailand. The purpose of the school is to provide short courses conducted by leading experts in the computer science fields enabling local participations from the Asia Pacific region.

The 20th Asian School is a pre-conference activity of AINTEC09.
