Tutorial3: Codesign of IoT components

Biography:

Abderrazak JEMAI received an Engineer degree from the University of Tunis (ENSI), Tunisia in 1988 and the DEA and “Doctor” degrees from the University of Grenoble (ENSIMAG-INPG), France, in 1989 and 1992, respectively, and he received his Habilitation Degree in 2012, all in computer science. From 1989 to 1992 he prepared his thesis on simulation of RISC processors and parallel architectures. Since 1993, his interests are focused on high level synthesis and simulation at behavioral and system levels within AMICAL and COSMOS at TIMA Laboratory in Grenoble. Dr Jemai became an assistant professor at the ENSI University in Tunis in 1993 and a Maitre-Assistant Professor at the INSAT University in Tunis from 1994 to 2013. Since 2013, he became an associate professor in ICT at INSAT University. From 2014 to August 2015, Abderrazak JEMAI became the General Director of the National Center of Informatics in Tunisia (CNI) dealing with government’ applications and related access services and security (eGov, Intranet, etc.).
He was the principal investigator for the “Synthesis and Simulation of VLSI circuits” project at the ENSI/Microelectronic group and He was the principal investigator of the simulation module in AMICAL at TIMA in Grenoble. He is also the principal investigator for the “Performance evaluation of MPSoC: Time & Energy consumption” project in LIP2/FST Laboratory in Tunis. His last interest is focused on the design (codesign of smart embedded systems) and the use of IoT (Internet of Things) devices in the context of Smart City, Cloud Computing and Big Data.

Abstract:

Internet of things (IoT) is a global infrastructure composed of smart components interoperable, virtual Systems, Middleware and Networking infrastructures. The future of the Internet of Things applications will depend on the development of sophisticated and secured IoT platforms and architectures specifically designed for smart objects and which can contains embedded intelligence, and can easily make connection to smart networks.
Future IoT Platforms should provide connectivity, intelligence, connection to cloud services. It should also provide other features and services such as data analytics, open APIs, semantic interoperability and security.
Designer of IoT components should tackle new challenges such as

• Virtualization of objects, devices and infrastructures
• Scalability, Heterogeneity, dynamicity and mastering application Complexity.
• Smart objects, Embedded intelligence, Smart Behavior
• Security and privacy
