N1 - Funding Information: Laura Galluccio received her laurea degree in Electrical Engineering from University of Catania, Italy, in 2001. In March 2005 she got her Ph.D. in Electrical, Computer and Telecommunications Engineering at the same university. Since 2002 she is also at the Italian National Consortium of Telecommunications (CNIT), where she worked as a Research Fellow within the VICOM (Virtual Immersive Communications) and the SATNEX Projects. Since November 2010 she is Assistant Professor at University of Catania. From May to July 2005 she has been a Visiting Scholar at the COMET Group, Columbia University, NY under the guidance of Prof. Andrew T. Campbell. She is the Guest Editor for a Special Issue of the Wireless Communications Magazine on Wireless communications at the nanoscale and serves in the editorial boards of Wiley Wireless Communications and Mobile Computing and Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks, as well as in the technical program of several major conferences sponsored by ACM and IEEE. Her research interests include ad hoc and sensor networks, protocols and algorithms for wireless networks, network performance analysis and nanonetworks. Klara Nahrstedt is a full professor at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Computer Science Department. She is the recipient of the Early NSF Career Award, the Junior Xerox Award, the IEEE Communication Society Leonard Abraham Award for Research Achievements, the University Scholar Award and the Humboldt Research Award. She was the editor-in-chief of the ACM/Springer Multimedia Systems Journal (2000–2007), associate editor of ACM Transactions on Multimedia Computing, Communications and Applications (2005-now), associate editor of IEEE Transactions on Information Forensics & Security, general co-chair of ACM Multimedia 2006, general chair of ACM NOSSDAV 2007, general chair of IEEE PerCom 2009, and Ralph and Catherine Fisher Professor (2002–2011). She was elected to serve as the chair of the ACM SIG Multimedia (2007–2013).
