Title:  Information Processing in Wireless Sensor Networks

Venue：Room 406, No.5 SEIEE Building

Time: 2PM, June 13, Monday

Abstract:

Collaborative information processing in sensor/camera networks is becoming a very attractive field of research. In such a sensor/camera network, the sensors role is not limited to detect and transmit the data to a central unit where they are processed. Individual sensors have the capability to process the data and transmit only information to a fusion unit. The sensors have the ability to collaborate, exchange information to ensure optimal decision. Such sensors are called ``smart" sensors. Contrary to the centralized approach, the system does not depend on a unique processing unit which damaging leads to the entire system failure. Every smart sensor is able to play a central role and provide a suboptimal decision. The system is thus very robust against a probable foreign attack or a technical failure of the central unit. In addition, as collected data are locally processed, only pertinent information is exchanged between smart nodes, limiting hence the required channel communication bandwidth.

 

Speaker Biography:

Hichem Snoussi was born in Bizerta, Tunisia, in 1976. He received the diploma degree in electrical engineering from the Ecole Superieure d'Electricite (Supelec), Gif-sur-Yvette, France, in 2000. He also received the DEA degree and the Ph.D. in signal processing from the University of Paris-Sud, Orsay, France, in 2000 and 2003 respectively. He has obtained the HdR from the University of Technology of Compiègne in 2009. 

Between 2003 and 2004, he was postdoctoral researcher at IRCCyN, Institut de Recherches en Communications et Cybernétiques de Nantes. He has spent short periods as visiting scientist at the Brain Science Institute, RIKEN, Japan and Olin Neuropsychiatry Research Center at the Institute of Living in USA. Between 2005 and 2010, he has been associate professor at the University of Technology of Troyes. Since September 2010, he has been appointed a Full Professor position at the same university. He is in charge of the regional research program S3 (System Security and Safety) of the CPER 2007-2013 and the CapSec plateform (wireless embedded sensors for security). He is the principal investigator of an ANR-Blanc project (mv-EMD), a CRCA project (new partnership and new technologies) and a GDR-ISIS young researcher project. He is partner of many ANR projects, GIS, strategic UTT programs. He obtained the national doctoral and research supervising award PEDR 2008-2012.
