Prof. Tetsuya Yokotani obtained B.S., M. S, and Ph. D degrees on information science from the Tokyo University of Science in 1985, 1987, and 1997, respectively. He joined Mitsubishi Electric Corporation in 1987. Since then, he has researched high-speed data communication, optical access and home network, and system performance evaluation based on queuing theory, and has promoted development of these related systems, in Information Technology R&D Center. In 2012, he moved to Global Standardization and R&D relation group, corporate research and development in headquarter as a senior manager. In 2015, he moved to Kanazawa Institute of Technology as a professor of College of Engineering. Moreover, his interests include international standardization for communication networks. He has joined standardization activity in ITU-T SG15 for FTTH and Home networks and in ISO/IEC JTC1 WG10 for IoT architecture. In academia, he has experienced many TPC, symposia and session chairs in major conferences, such as IEEE ICC and GLOBECOM. Currently, he is a chair elect of Technical committee of CQR (Communication Quality and Reliability) in IEEE Communication Society, and a char of Technical committee of Communication System in IEICE.

Prof. KyoungSoo Park is an associate professor in the Electrical Engineering department at KAIST. He received his B.S. degree from Seoul National University in 1997, and his M.A. and Ph.D. degrees from Princeton University in 2004 and 2007, respectively, all in computer science. Before joining KAIST, he worked as assistant professor in the computer science department at University of Pittsburgh in the year of 2009. His research interest is focused on the reliability, performance, and security issues in the design and implementation of networked computing systems. He has developed CoBlitz, a scalable large-file content distribution network (CDN), which is acquired by Verivue, Inc., and subsequently by Akamai, Inc. in 2012. He has co-developed HashCache, a memory-efficient caching storage system for developing regions, which was chosen one of the top 10 technologies in 2009 by the MIT technology review magazine. More recently, his co-authored mTCP paper received the community award at USENIX NSDI 2014. His recent research topic is focused on high performance packet/flow processing systems using multicore/manycore processors, such as PacketShader (a 40Gbps software router), SSLShader (13Gbps SSL proxy), and Kargus (33Gbps software IDS).
