BIOGRAPHY
Bogdan Ušćumlić was born on 20 March 1981 in Zrenjanin, Serbia.
There he finished the primary school "Petar Petrović Njegoš" and
"Zrenjanin’s High School". He got the M.Sc. degree in
telecommunications from The School of Electrical Engineering,
University of Belgrade, in 2006.
Bogdan Ušćumlić began the doctoral studies at TELECOM
Bretagne in Brest, France in January 2007, and he defended the
thesis in April 2010. By defending a dissertation entitled "Optical
Architecture and Traffic Engineering in Optical Metropolitan
Networks" he acquired the title "Doctor of information and
communication science and technology".
The thesis deals with the traffic engineering issues in a WDM ring
with optical packet switching and time-discrete access to the
medium. The research tools used in this work are discrete time event
simulator, developed by adding the new features to Network
Simulator (ns-2), the analytical methods of queueing theory and the
linear programming optimization techniques. Mentors were Prof.
Annie Gravey and Michel Morvan, and thesis director was Prof.
Jean-Louis De La Bougrenet Tocnaye.
Members of the Commission for the defense of the thesis were:
Prof. Bernard Cousin, Dr. Philippe Chanclou, Prof. Marc Sevaux,
Prof. Annie Gravey, Prof. Jean-Louis De Bougrenet De La Tocnaye,
Dr. Dominique Chiaroni and Prof. Tülin Atmaca. The work on the
thesis was carried out in the framework of French ECOFRAME and
European Network of Excellence BONE FP7 projects.
Upon completion of doctoral studies he returned to Serbia and since
August 2010, he is employed at the Institute "Mihailo Pupin". He
wrote 1 book and participated in the preparation of numerous
scientific publications and communications. His research interests
are network planning and traffic engineering in optical and wireless
networks.
