Machine-to-Machine
Communications in Smart Cities By Hussein T.
Mouftah Canada Research
Chair and Distinguish University Professor School of
Electrical Engineering and Computer Science University of
Ottawa, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada mouftah@uottawa.ca Abstract: The
transformation of our current cities into smarter cities will bring challenges
in diverse areas such as the transportation system, the electricity system,
and wearable systems, just to name a few. In smart cities, Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT), and in particular Machine-to-Machine (M2M)
Communications, will play a vital role for providing services in the urban
environment. These services include real time monitoring and reaction in time
through wireless sensor and actuator networks. Smart Grids (SGs), Intelligent
Transportation Systems (ITS), Internet of Things (IoT),
Electric Vehicles (EVs), and Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) will be the
building blocks of futuristic smart cities. Smart grid refers to the
modernization of traditional power grid by incorporating two-way digital
communication support at generation, transmission, and distribution level.
Intelligent transportation system refers to making the vehicular traffic
smarter by reducing congestion, optimized fuel consumption, shorter routes,
and better safety, self-driving cars by using communication and sensing
technologies. Internet of things refer to a world-wide network of
interconnected objects uniquely addressable, employing M2M communications,
based on standard communication protocols and allows people and things to be
connected Anytime, Anyplace, with Anything and Anyone, ideally using Any
path/network and Any service. IoT can be very
useful for resource management in the context of smart cities. Wireless
sensor networks are composed of sensor nodes capable of performing sensing
and implementing the M2M communications. All these technologies will help to
build a smart city. In this presentation we will address technology trends
with a focus on M2M communications in smart cities. Speaker’s bio: Hussein T.
Mouftah is an internationally-acclaimed scholar who has made significant
contributions to the understanding and knowledge of telecommunication
networks, particularly in regard to high-speed networks, optical networks,
network switching architectures, and wireless cellular as well as ad hoc and
sensor networks, among other technical areas related to the next-generation
Internet – the
so-called Internet-of-Things. He received the
BSc in Electrical Engineering and MSc in Computer Science from the University
of Alexandria, Egypt, in 1969 and 1972, respectively, and the PhD in
Electrical Engineering from Laval University, Canada, in 1975. He joined the
School of Information Technology and Engineering (now School of Electrical
Engineering and Computer Science) of the University of Ottawa in 2002 as a
Tier 1 Canada Research Chair Professor, where he became a University Distinguished
Professor in 2006. He has been with the ECE Dept. at Queen's University
(1979-2002), where he was prior to his departure a Full Professor and the
Department Associate Head. He has six years of industrial experience mainly
at Bell Northern Research of Ottawa (Nortel Networks). He served as
Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Communications Magazine (1995-97) and IEEE ComSoc Director of Magazines (1998-99), Chair of the Awards
Committee (2002-03), Director of Education (2006-07), and Member of the Board
of Governors (1997-99 and 2006-07). He has been a Distinguished Speaker of
the IEEE Communications Society (2000-2007). He is the author or coauthor of
11 books, 72 book chapters and more than 1400 technical papers, 14 patents, 6
invention disclosures and 144 industrial reports. He is the joint holder of
21 Best/Outstanding Paper Awards. He has received numerous prestigious
awards, such as the 2016 R.A. Fessenden Medal in Telecommunications
Engineering of IEEE Canada, the 2015 IEEE Ottawa Section Outstanding Educator
Award, the 2014 Engineering Institute of Canada K. Y. Lo Medal, the 2014
Technical Achievement Award of the IEEE Communications Society Technical
Committee on Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks, the 2007 Royal Society of
Canada Thomas W. Eadie Medal, the 2007–2008
University of Ottawa Award for Excellence in Research, the 2008 ORION
Leadership Award of Merit, the 2006 IEEE Canada McNaughton Gold Medal, the 2006
EIC Julian Smith Medal, the 2004 IEEE ComSoc Edwin
Howard Armstrong Achievement Award, the 2004 George S. Glinski
Award for Excellence in Research of the University of Ottawa Faculty of
Engineering, the 1989 Engineering Medal for Research and Development of the
Association of Professional Engineers of Ontario, and the Ontario
Distinguished Researcher Award of the Ontario Innovation Trust. Dr. Mouftah is a
Fellow of the IEEE (1990), the Canadian Academy of Engineering (2003), the
Engineering Institute of Canada (2005) and the Royal Society of Canada RSC
Academy of Science (2008).
Enabling Technologies for Smart
City Platforms Alberto
Leon-Garcia, University of Toronto In this talk we
present an architecture and design of a general platform to support the
delivery of smart city applications. We present a layered architecture that
leverages SDN, cloud computing, information-centric networking, and analytics
to support data-driven applications for smart cities. We describe our current
implementation and demonstrate applications focused on intelligent
transportation. We then discuss our roadmap to create a smart city platform
that can accommodate IoT at scale. Speaker’s Bio: Professor Alberto
Leon-Garcia is Distinguished Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering
at the University of Toronto. He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electronics
an Electrical Engineering "For contributions to multiplexing and
switching of integrated services traffic". He is also a Fellow of the
Engineering Institute of Canada and the American Association for the
Advancement of Science. He has received the 2006 Thomas Eadie
Medal from the Royal Society of Canada and the 2010 IEEE Canada A. G. L.
McNaughton Gold Medal for his contributions to the area of communications.
Professor Leon-Garcia is author of the leading textbooks: Probability and
Random Processes for Electrical Engineering, and Communication Networks:
Fundamental Concepts and Key Architecture. He is Scientific Director of the
