Seminar
Speaker: Professor Magdy Bayoumi, University of Louisiana at Lafayette, U.S.A.
Date: Friday July 3rd, 2009, at 10:00 am.
Location: 55-65 , 2nd Floor , Room 211, 4, Place Jussieu, 75252 Paris
Title: "Wireless Sensors Networks: Current and Future Challenges".
Abstract:
Computers, communication, and sensing technologies are converging to change the way we live, interact, and conduct business. Wireless sensor networks reflect such convergence. These networks are based on collaborative efforts of a large number of sensor nodes. They should be low-cost, low-power, and multifunction. These nodes have the capabilities of sensing, data processing, and communicating. Sensor networks have a wide range of applications, from monitoring sensors in industrial facilities to control and management of energy applications to military and security fields. Because of the special features of these networks, new network technologies are needed for cost effective, low power, and reliable communication. These network protocols and architectures should take into consideration the special features of sensor networks such as: the large number of nodes, their failure rate, limited power, high density, etc. In this talk the impact of wireless sensor networks will be addressed, several of the design and communication issues will be discussed, and a case study of a current project of using such networks in drilling and management off-shore oil and natural gas in the gulf region will be given.
Biography:
Prof. Magdy A. Bayoumi is Director of The Center for Advanced Computer
Studies (CACS) and Department Head of the Computer Science Department at
the University of Louisiana at Lafayette (UL Lafayette). He is also the
Edmiston Professor of Computer Engineering and Lamson Professor of
Computer Science. Dr. Bayoumi has been a faculty member in CACS since
1985.
He received the B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering
from Cairo University, Egypt; M.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from
Washington University, St. Louis; and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical
Engineering from the University of Windsor, Canada.
Dr. Bayoumi's
research interests include VLSI Design Methods and Architectures, Low
Power Circuits and Systems, Digital Signal Processing Architectures,
Parallel Algorithm Design, Computer Arithmetic, Image and Video Signal
Processing, Neural Networks and Wideband Network Architectures.
Dr. Bayoumi is leading a research group of 15 Ph.D. and 10 M.Sc.
students in these research areas. He has graduated 15 Ph.D. and about
100 M.Sc. students. He has published over 200 papers in related journals
and conferences. He edited co-edited and coauthored 5 books in his
research interest. He was the guest editor of three special issues in
VLSI Signal Processing and co-guest editor of a special issue on
"Learning on Silicon". Dr. Bayoumi has one patent on "On-Chip Learning."
He has given numerous invited lectures and talks nationally and
internationally. He has consulted in industry.
Dr. Bayoumi was the vice president for technical activities of the IEEE
Circuits and Systems (CAS) Society, where he has served in many
editorial, administrative, and leadership capacities. He was elected to
the BoG (1996). He is one of the founding members of the VLSI Systems
and Applications (VSA) Technical Committee (TC) and was the past chair.
He was one of the founding members of the Neural Network TC. He is a
member of the Multimedia TC. He has been on the technical program
committee for ISCAS for several years (as track chair and co-chair). He
has organized several special sessions and workshops at this conference.
He was a co-organizer and co-chair of a forum on MEMS in ISCAS'95. He
was the publication chair of ISCAS'99 and he is the special session
co-chair of ISCAS'02. He is a member of the steering committee of the
Midwest Symposium on Circuits and Systems (MWSCAS). He was the general
chair of MWSCAS'94, and the special session chair of MWSCAS'93. He has
organized many special sessions and has been on the technical program
committee of the symposium for several years. He was on a panel on VLSI
Education in MWSCAS'95 and a judge for the first student paper contest
in MWSCAS'97. He was an associate editor of the Circuits and Devices
Magazine, Transaction on VLSI Systems, Transaction on Neural Networks,
and Transaction on Circuits and Systems II.
