He is an internationally well known academic, researcher, and scientist and has made pioneering and lasting contributions to the multifaceted fields of computer science and engineering. He is currently a Full Professor of Computer Science at Monmouth University, Long Branch, NJ. Among his previous positions are Chair of the Department of Computer Science and Director of the Graduate Program at Monmouth University, and Faculty Member at the City University of New York. He also served as a Consultant for several corporations and organizations worldwide. He has received extensive research funding and has authored or co-authored ten books and over 460 refereed scholarly journal and conference articles. His research interests are: wireless communications and networks, modeling and simulation, performance evaluation of computer systems, and telecommunications systems, security of computer and network systems, high-performance computing/computers, applied neural networks and pattern recognition, security of e-based systems, and speech processing. During the 2004/2005 academic year, he was on sabbatical leave as the Fulbright Distinguished Professor and Advisor to the President of Philadelphia University (Dr. Adnan Badran, who became in April 2005 the Prime Minster of Jordan). Dr. Obaidat is an Editor of many scholarly journals, including Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Communication Systems (Wiley) and Editor of IEEE Wireless Communications. He has Guest Edited numerous special issues of scholarly journals such as IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man, and Cybernetics, IEEE Transactions on Wireless Communications, IEEE Systems Journal, Performance Evaluation (Elsevier), SIMULATION: Transactions of SCS, Computer Communications Journal (Elsevier), Journal of C & EE, and Security and Communication Network Journal and International Journal of Communication Systems (both Wiley), among others. He is the author of an upcoming book: Wireless Sensor Networks (Cambridge University Press). He is also the editor of two upcoming books: Cooperative Networking (Wiley, 2010) and Pervasive Computing and Networking (Wiley, 2010). He is the author of the book Fundamentals of Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunications Systems (Wiley, 2010) and editor of E-business and Telecommunication Networks (Springer, 2008). He is the co-author of the book Security of e-Systems and Computer Networks (Cambridge University Press, 2007) and co-author of Wireless Networks and Multiwavelength Optical LANs (Wiley, 2003). He has served as a Steering Committee Chair, Advisory Committee Chair, Honorary Chair, and Program Chair of many international conferences. He is the Founder of the International Symposium on Performance Evaluation of Computer and Telecommunication Systems (SPECTS) and has served as the General Chair of SPECTS since its inception. Between 1994–1997, he served as Distinguished Speaker/Visitor for the IEEE Computer Society. Since 1995, he has been serving as an ACM Distinguished Lecturer. He is also an SCS Distinguished Lecturer, Founder of the SCS Distinguished Lecturer Program (DLP), and its present Director. Between 1996 and 1999, he served as an IEEE/ACMProgram Evaluator of the Computing Sciences Accreditation Board/Commission (CSAB/CSAC). Between 1995 and 2002, he served as a member of the Board of Directors of the Society for Computer Simulation International. In 2002, he was the Scientific Advisor for the World Bank/U.N. Workshop on Fostering Digital Inclusion. Between 2002 and 2004, he served as Vice President of Conferences of the Society for Modeling and Simulation International (SCS). Between 2004 and 2006, he served as Vice President of Membership of SCS. Between 2006–2009, he served as the Senior Vice President of SCS. He is currently the President of SCS. He is the recipient of the distinguished Nokia Research Fellowship and the Distinguished Fulbright Award, the Best Paper Award at the IEEE AICCSA 2009 International Conference, the Best Paper Award at the IEEE GLOBCOM 2009 Conference, and the prestigious SCS McLeod Founder's Award in recognition of his outstanding technical and professional contributions to modeling and simulation. He has received a recognition certificate from the IEEE. He is a Fellow of SCS.
