Biography

Konstantina (Dina) Papagiannaki has been a researcher at Intel Labs since January 2004; from 2004 until the end of 2006 in Cambridge and since 2007 in Pittsburgh. From the beginning of 2000 until the end of 2003 she was a member of the IP Group at the Sprint Advanced Technology Labs. She got awarded her PhD from the Computer Science Department of University College London (UCL) in March 2003, receiving the Distinguished Dissertations Award 2003. She got her first degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the National Technical University of Athens (NTUA) in October 1998. She has chaired the technical program committee of the premier conferences in her field, authored 60 peer reviewed papers, authored a book on the design and management of large-scale IP networks through Cambridge University Press, has 5 pending and 1 awarded patents, and in 2009 her work received the best paper award at ACM Mobicom 2009. She currently holds an adjunct faculty position in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University and in 2008 she received the rising star award of the computer networking community of ACM.

What's new

My book, co-authored with Dr. Antonio Nucci, "Design, Measurement and Management of Large-Scale IP Networks: Bridging the Gap Between Theory and Practice" is now available from Cambridge University Press and amazon.

My paper "Unwanted Link Layer Traffic in Large IEEE 802.11 Wireless Networks", in collaboration with Ramya Raghavendra, Elizabeth Belding, and Kevin Almeroth from UC Santa Barbara, was selected as the spotlight paper for the September 2010 issue of IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing.

I was recently appointed as the chair of the Technical Steering Committee of ACM Sigcomm. If you have any suggestions as to how to improve the processes of ACM Sigcomm, I would love to hear them.

CENTAUR receives the best paper award at ACM Mobicom 2009. SWARM ranks in the top 3 papers of ACM CoNEXT 2009 and is fast-tracked to IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.

Starting in July 2009, I am serving as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Networking.

An editorial on the process followed for the selection of the program for ACM Sigcomm 2009 has been published by ACM Sigcomm Computer Communications Review. The report is accompanied by a suitably anonymized dataset from the paper management system, reporting on the number of reviews collected, their scores, etc. For more information please see link.

The slides from my keynote presentation at ACM CoNEXT 2008 for the ACM Sigcomm rising star award are now available from here.

Research Interests

The areas I am mostly interested in are traffic engineering, network design and planning, network measurements and traffic analysis in wired and wireless networks. My current work, among others, looks into:

• NaN: Neighborhood-Aware Networking
• SWAN: Self-organizing Wireless Access Networks
• Wireless Networking
• Traffic Analysis
