Welcome to the second IEEE International workshop on Communication, Computing, and Networking in Cyber Physical Systems (CCNCPS 2018) In association with IEEE International Conference on Communications (IEEE ICC 2018). The workshop will take place in Abu Dhabi, UAE, 9-13 December 2018.

The new paradigms and tremendous advances in computing, communications and control have provided and supported wide range of applications in all domains of life, in particular, bridging the physical components and the cyber space leading to the Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). The notion of CPS is to use recent computing, communication, and control methods to design and operate intelligent and autonomous systems using cutting edge technologies. This requires the use of computing resources for sensing, processing, analysis, predicting, understanding of data, and then communication resources for interaction, intervention, and interface management, and finally provide control for systems so that they can inter-operate, evolve, and run in a stable evidence-based environment. CPS has extraordinary significance for the future of several industrial domains and hence, it is expected that the complexity in CPS will continue to increase due to the integration of cyber components with physical and industrial systems. This workshop solicits unpublished research work related to the latest challenges, technologies, solutions, techniques and fundamentals pertaining to communication, computing, networking, control.

From Centralized to Distributed to SDN for 5G and IoT Networking

Prof. Abbas Jamalipour

Room: Conference Hall A: Part D

Chair: Amjad Gawanmeh (Khalifa University, United Arab Emirates)

Biography: Abbas Jamalipour is the Professor of Ubiquitous Mobile Networking at the University of Sydney, Australia, and holds a PhD in Electrical Engineering from Nagoya University, Japan. He is a Fellow of the IEEE, IEICE of Japan, and the Institution of Engineers Australia; an ACM Professional Member, and an IEEE Distinguished Lecturer. He has authored eight technical books, eleven book chapters, over 450 technical papers, and five patents, all in the area of wireless and mobile communications. He was the Editor-in-Chief IEEE Wireless Communications, Vice President-Conferences and a member of Board of Governors of the IEEE Communications Society, and has been an editor for several journals. He was a General Chair or Technical Program Chair for a number of conferences, such as IEEE GLOBECOM2018, ICC2014, PIMRC2012, and WCNC2010. Dr. Jamalipour is an elected member of the Board of Governors, Executive Vice-President, Chair of Fellow Evaluation Committee, and the Editor-in-Chief of the Mobile World, IEEE Vehicular Technology Society. He is recipient of a number of prestigious IEEE awards and 15 Best Paper Awards. He is one of the highly cited authors in the field of cellular networks.

Existing wireless cellular networks are mainly designed based on a centralized architecture. They are mainly planned on a client-server networking paradigm that relies on complicated multi-layered hierarchical architectures. This creates long distance traffic backhauling and network bottlenecks which would result in long delays and congestion; thus not suitable for autonomous and connected vehicles of the future. On the other hand, recent distributed wireless networks can reduce per-node and network resource use while enabling complex applications not otherwise possible. Such architecture can be also applied to cellular networks, through technologies such as cooperative wireless computing, flexible link design, adaptation, and autonomous operation that already exist. Another way to improve the cellular network architecture is to apply the fundamentals of software defined networking (SDN) to design layers of system and abstractions that simplifies the deployment and management of extremely dense wireless cellular networks. SDN can programmatically decouple network architectures from infrastructure, thus making it easier for deploying new applications and services, as well as for tuning network policy and performance. When the SDN theory is applied, base stations perform basic packet-processing functions under the command of a logically centralized controller. Thus, SDN enables distribution of data-plane rules over multiple, low-cost network switches, hence reducing the scalability of the packet gateway and enabling flexible handling of data traffic over the cellular network. In this talk a new architecture design for future wireless cellular networks will be explored that can also facilitate the operation of emerging Internet-of-Things and the use of cloud-based core networks.

The lack of national security standardization bodies can have adverse impact on the adoption of international standards and best practices. Furthermore, building security confidence with a transparent and practical approach is necessary to mitigate security risks. In this panel, we will discuss the issue pf establishing an assessment framework that will aid organizations to evaluate their existing information security management systems. In addition, how such assessment can help organizations evaluate their security postures and their readiness for evolving risks and threats, and as a result, how to establish a score based national cyber security index.
