Signal processing plays a ubiquitous role in our lives, serving as the primary enabler for numerous tools and technologies upon which we depend daily. From wired and wireless communications to monitoring a patient's heartbeat and brain activity, signal processing lies at the core of our digital world, driving innovation and discovery. It empowers us to communicate effectively, securely share information, and overcome significant challenges. The research conducted in this field over the years has yielded impressive results, giving rise to a wide array of efficient techniques applicable in various domains, such as wireless communications, digital video broadcasting, digital radio, 4G/5G, security, and encryption. In fact, this dynamic field continually produces new techniques and algorithms to address emerging problems posed by technological advancements or the demands of new applications. Hence, the purpose of this keynote speech is to introduce recent research and developments in signal processing for communications and explore their potential applications in modern and future communication systems, encryption, and security.
Professor Said Boussakta received the “Ingenieur d’Etat” degree in Electronic Engineering from ENPA, Algeria in 1985 and the PhD degree in Electrical Engineering from Newcastle University, U.K., in 1990. From 1990-1996, he was with the University of Newcastle upon Tyne as Senior Research Associate in digital signal and image processing. From 1996-2000, he was with the University of Teesside, U.K. as a Senior Lecturer in communication Engineering. From 2000-2006 he was at the University of Leeds as Reader in digital communications and signal processing. He is currently a Professor of communications and signal processing at the School of Engineering, Newcastle University, U.K., where he is lecturing in communications networks, security and signal processing subjects. Professor Boussakta is the recipient of the 2008 IEEE SPCE Outstanding Service Award and is a distinguished scholar in the broad areas of communications and signal processing. His research interests are in the areas of fast DSP algorithms, digital communications, cryptography and signal/image processing. He serves as a regular referee for a number of IEEE Transactions and IET journals. He is also an internationally recognised researcher, has given a large number of invited talks and has authored/ co-authored more than 250 publications. He is currently a Fellow of the IET and a Senior Member of the IEEE Communications and Signal Processing Societies.
This talk will investigate the design challenges for abstraction and autonomy for IoT and other network services and applications design and management. The landscape of standardisation initiatives will be explored. The hindering and enabling factors for architecting autonomous network services and related applications will be discussed. The different design solutions will be compared within the current, the emerging and the future technology landscape and its associated scientific and industrial ecosystems.
Khalil Drira is Research Director at LAAS CNRS. His R&D interests include design, implementation and provisioning of service-oriented systems and IoT/M2M services. He initiated R&D M2M/IoT activities at CNRS within the ITEA2 project USENET (2007-2010, ITEA2 achievement silver award) and the ITEA2 project A2NETS (2010-2014). The output of his activities includes the opensource OM2M platform, different contributions to oneM2M standard, and advanced solutions for semantic interoperability and autonomic management of IoT/M2M systems. He contributed to organizing oneM2M tutorials, as in UT Dallas (USA) in 2018 and in CTI/CPQD Campinas (Brazil) in 2019. He is Associate Editor of the IEEE IoT journal. He delivered several keynote talks in international conferences and invited seminars at international universities. He got several best paper awards in international conferences and journals. He authored more than 200 papers in international journals and conferences. He chaired different international conferences on software services and architectures and workshops on systems of systems.
