Dr. Cao owns three patents in data and tele-communications and published two books: “Realization Probabilities - the Dynamics of Queuing Systems,” Springer Verlag, 1994, and “Perturbation Analysis of Discrete-Event Dynamic Systems,” Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1991 (co-authored with Y. C. Ho). He is a Fellow of IEEE, Chairman of the IEEE Fellow Evaluation Committee of the IEEE Control Systems Society, Editor-in-Chief of Discrete Event Dynamic Systems: Theory and Applications , Associate Editor at Large of IEEE Transactions of Automatic Control, member of the Board of Governors of IEEE Control Systems Society , member of IFAC Technical Board, and chairman of IFAC Coordinating Committee on Systems and Signals . He has been served as associate editor of a number of international journals and chairman of a few technical committees of international professional societies. His current research areas include discrete event dynamic systems, stochastic learning and optimization theory, performance analysis of communication systems, and signal processing.
