Anawat Chankhunthod received his B.Eng in Electrical Engineering from the Chiang Mai University, Thailand in 1991 and his M.S in Computer Engineering from the University of Southern California in 1994. He is currently a Ph.D candidate in Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California. Shortly after receiving his B.Eng, he joined the faculty of the Department of Electical Engineering, Chiang Mai University and currently is on leave for extending his education. He is currently an research assistant at the Networking and Distributed system laboratory at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on computer networking and distributed systems. He can be contacted at chankhun@usc.edu.

Peter B. Danzig received his B.S. in Applied Physics from the University of California Davis in 1982 and his Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of California Berkeley in 1989. He is currently an Assistant Professor at the Univerity of Southern California. His research addresses both building scalable Internet information systems and flow, congestion and admission control algorithms for the Internet. He has served on several ACM SIGCOMM and ACM SIGMETRICS program committees and is an associate editor of Internetworking: Research and Experience. He can be contacted at danzig@usc.edu.

Charels J. Neerdaels received his BAEM in Aerospace Engineering and Mechanics in 1989, from the University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. After several years work in the defense industry, he continued his education in Computer Science at the University of Southern California. He has recently left the University to become a Member of Technical Staff, Proxy Development at Netscape communications, and can be reached at chuckn@netscape.com. CA 94043

Michael Schwartz received his Ph.D in Computer Science from the University of Washington in 1987, after which time he joined the faculty of the Computer Science Department at the University of Colorado - Boulder. Schwartz' research focuses on international-scale networks and distributed systems. He has built and experimented with a dozen information systems, and chairs the IRTF Research Group on Resource Discovery, which built the the Harvest system. Schwartz is on the editorial board for IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking, and was a guest editor of IEEE Journal of Selected Areas in Communication, for a 1995 Special Issue on the Global Internet. In 1995 Schwartz joined @Home (a Silicon Valley startup doing Internet over cable), where he is currently leading the directory service effort. Schwartz can be reached at schwartz@home.net.
