About the Editor:

Dr. Yang Xiao worked in industry as a medium access control (MAC) architect involving IEEE 802.11 standard enhancement work before he joined the Department of Computer Science at the University of Memphis in 2002. He is currently a tenured Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Alabama. He was a voting member of IEEE 802.11 working group from 2001 to 2004, and is currently an IEEE senior member. He serves as a panelist for the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), Canada Foundation for Innovation's (CFI) Telecommunications expert committee, and the American Institute of Biological Sciences (AIBS), as well as a referee/reviewer for many national and international funding agencies. His areas of research are security, communications/networks, robotics, and telemedicine. He has published more than 180 refereed journal papers and over 200 refereed conference papers and book chapters related to these research areas. Dr. Xiao's research has been supported by the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), U.S. Army Research, Global Environment for Network Innovations (GENI), Fleet Industrial Supply Center-San Diego (FISCSD), FIATECH, and the University of Alabama's Research Grants Committee. He currently serves as editor-in-chief for International Journal of Security and Networks (IJSN) and International Journal of Sensor Networks (IJSNet). He was the founding editor-in-chief for International Journal of Telemedicine and Applications (IJTA) (2007-2009).
