About the Contributors xxvii
School, University of Oulu, Finland. His research interests are in how innovation and
technological change affect international business creation, transformation, and strategies in highly technology‐intensive or software‐intensive business domains. He has over
100 publications in scientific journals, books, conference proceedings, and other
reports. He is actively working in several ICT‐focused research consortia leading the
business‐related research streams.
Raimo Kantola is a Doctor of Science in Technology. He is a full, tenured professor of
networking technology at the Department of Communications and Networking of
Aalto University. After 15 years in Nokia Networks in positions in R&D and marketing,
he joined Helsinki University of Technology as a professor in 1996 and was tenured in
2006. Professor Kantola’s recent research is in trust in networks and customer edge
switching. He has held many positions of trust at Helsinki University of Technology and
Aalto University.
Rui Travanca has a Diploma in Civil Engineering and an MSc in Structural Engineering.
Rui has a strong background within the telecommunication industry, which includes
more than ten years working as a Civil Engineer and an Independent Engineering
Consultant for major telecommunication operator companies. Rui is deeply involved in
research, in structural engineering subjects, and has conducted several research works
in the field of the structural behaviour of communication structures, mainly using
structural health monitoring techniques. Main fields of interest/research are wind‐sensitive structures, earthquake engineering, structural behaviour, structural simulation,
numerical model calibration, dynamic analysis, structural health monitoring, optical
sensors and wind tunnel testing.
Sadiqur Rahaman is completing his Master’s degree in Wireless Communication
Engineering in University of Oulu, Finland. Before that, he had taken his bachelor’s degree
in Electrical and Electronic Engineering and an MBA in Management Information Systems.
He has published a number of international conference papers. His research interest lies in
the field of antenna and radio engineering. He is currently working on a passive repeater
for WLAN operation using various types of antenna and co‐axial cable.
Satish Anamalamudi received his BEng degree in Computer Science and Engineering
from Jawaharlal Nehru Technological University, Hyderabad, India, MTech in Network
and Internet Engineering from Karunya University, Coimbatore, India and his PhD in
Communication and Information Systems from Dalian University of Technology, Dalian,
China. He worked as a Research Engineer in Beijing Huawei Technologies, Beijing,
China, from November 2015 to August 2016. He is currently working as Assistant
Professor in the Faculty of Computer and Software Engineering, Huaiyin Institute of
Technology, Huaian, China. His research interests include common‐control‐channel
design for MAC and routing protocols in cognitive radio ad hoc networks, MAC and
routing protocol design of IoT and 5G networks.
Shahriar Shahabuddin received his BSc from the University of Dhaka, Bangladesh
and his MSc from the University of Oulu, Finland in 2009 and 2012 respectively.
Afterwards, he started his PhD under the supervision of Professor Markku Juntti in
University of Oulu, Finland. During the spring of 2015, he worked at the Computer
School, University of Oulu, Finland. His research interests are in how innovation and
technological change affect international business creation, transformation, and strategies in highly technology‐intensive or software‐intensive business domains. He has over
100 publications in scientific journals, books, conference proceedings, and other
