| Azzedine Boukerche is
a Full Professor and holds a Canada Research Chair Tier-1
position at the University of Ottawa. He is the Scientific
Director of NSERC-DIVA Strategic Research Network and Director
of PARADISE Research Laboratory at Ottawa U. Prior to this,
he held a faculty position at the University of North Texas,
USA. He worked as a Senior Scientist at the Simulation Sciences
Division, Metron Corporation located in San Diego. He spent
a year at the JPL/NASA-California Institute of Technology
where he contributed to a project centered about the specification
and verification of the software used to control interplanetary
spacecraft operated by JPL/NASA Laboratory.

Title: Cognitive
Cars and Smart Roads- Applications, Challenges and Solutions
Abstract:
Future generations of Vehicular Networks and Intelligent Transportation
Systems (ITS) will play an important role in providing transport
services more effectively and more securely. The next stage
in ITS development will be greatly influenced by the integration
of distributed systems and architectures, as well as by open
and common standards and service-oriented architectures.
This talk
will consist in an overview about the major research projects
related to the design of “cognitive” cars and smart roads
applications, which we are currently investigating at the
DIVA Strategic Research Network and PARADISE Research Laboratory,
University of Ottawa. Next we shall focus on the main challenges,
design issues and discuss some results obtained recently.
Finally, if time permits, we will talk about LIVE testbed,
a convergence of distributed simulation, wireless multimedia
and vehicular sensor technologies we are developing at DIVA
and PARADISE Research Laboratory for an urban vehicular grid.
This testbed will facilitate and enable us to evaluate and
design new protocols and applications for future generations
of wireless vehicular and sensor network technologies.
