Rate My Professor Roch Guérin

Guérin is an international leader in the field of computer networking, recognized for major contributions to understanding data network design fundamentals and providing quality of service guarantees, as well as early work in wireless and cellular networks. His research interests encompass cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things, networked systems, parallel computing technology, real-time and embedded systems, cloud computing, performance analysis, and network economics. He is an ACM Fellow (2006) for contributions to the resource management of data networks and an IEEE Fellow (2001) for contributions to the theory and practice of quality-of-service guarantees in packet networks. Guérin served as Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, Chair of ACM SIGCOMM, and has been a member of the ACM Publications Board since 2013; he has also served on advisory boards of international telecommunications companies. Key publications include “Specification of Guaranteed Quality of Service” (S. Shenker, C. Partridge, R. Guérin, 1997), “A framework for policy-based admission control” (R. Yavatkar, D. Pendarakis, R. Guérin, 2000), “QoS routing in networks with inaccurate information: theory and algorithms” (R.A. Guérin, A. Orda, 1999), and PhD thesis papers “Channel occupancy time distribution in a cellular radio system” (1987) and “Queueing-blocking system with two arrival streams and guard channels” (1988), which continue to be cited annually.
