About the Author
Siamak Azodolmolky received his Computer Engineering degree from Tehran
University and his rst MSc. degree in Computer Architecture from Azad University
in 1994 and 1998 respectively. He was employed by Data Processing Iran Co. (IBM
in Iran) as a Software Developer, Systems Engineer, and as a Senior R&D Engineer
during 1992-2001. He received his second MSc. degree with distinction from Carnegie
Mellon University in 2006. He joined Athens Information Technology (AIT) as a
Research Scientist and Software Developer in 2007, while pursuing his PhD degree. In
August 2010, he joined the High Performance Networks research group of the School
of Computer Science and Electronic Engineering (CSEE) of the University of Essex as a
Senior Research Ofcer. He received his PhD (with ‘cum laude’) from the Universitat
Politécnica de Catalunya UPC in 2011. He has been the technical investigator of
various national and EU funded projects. Software Dened Networking (SDN) has
been one of his research interests since 2010, in which he has been investigating the
extension of OpenFlow towards its application in core transport (optical) networks.
He has published more than 50 scientic papers in international conferences, journals,
and books. Currently, he is with Gesellschaft für Wissenschaftliche Datenverarbeitung
mbH Göttingen (GWDG) as a Senior Researcher and has lead SDN related activities
since September 2012. He is a professional member of ACM and a senior member
of IEEE.
Whenever I reach the end of a book production, once again I realize
that nobody is perfect. I would like to thank the technical reviewers
for providing me with fruitful and constructive feedback. Any
remaining errors are, of course, my own. I would also like to thank
the Packt Publishing team who has been really supportive in getting
this book off the ground. The knowledge, support, and experience
of many colleagues in the SDN community have been instrumental
in lling the gaps in my understanding of SDN. This book was not
simply possible without them.
Finally, sincere and especially heartfelt thanks go out to my son,
Parsa Azodolmolky. His patience during writing time, while being
away from me is greatly appreciated. I love you Parsa.
