Shahid H. Bokhari (born 17 January 1952 in Lahore, Pakistan ) is a highly cited〔(Shahid Bokhari at ISI Highly Cited Researchers )〕〔(Google Scholar Search for Bokhari's publications (searched on October 13, 2006) )〕 Pakistani researcher in the field of parallel and distributed computing. He is a fellow of both IEEE〔(List of Region ten IEEE fellows )〕〔(IEEE Fellows: B )〕 and ACM.〔(ACM Fellow citation for Bokhari )〕 Bokhari's ACM Fellow citation states that he received the award for his "research contributions to automatic load balancing and partitioning of distributed processes",〔 while his IEEE Fellow award recognises his "contributions to the mapping problem in parallel and distributed computing".〔 At the time of his retirement in 2005, Bokhari was the only IEEE/ACM Fellow and the only Pakistani ISI Highly Cited Researcher resident in Pakistan. Bokhari's resignation led to a letter-writing campaign by several of his former students who were dismayed at what they claimed to be mismanagement at the state-run Pakistani universities.〔(A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste ), A.
