Profile
Dr.
Ghenniwa is the head of
Cooperative
Distributed Systems Engineering Group (CDS-EnG). We envision the
cyberspace as an open environment with large society of software artifacts,
information sources, and devices that ubiquitously interact with each other;
that are able to self-manage at run-time; that are able to increase their
degree of autonomy and responsibility over time! Yet, scaleable, dependable and secure.
Our research
expertise includes theoretical and
engineering foundations of computational intelligence with a special focus on agent-orientation, coordination and cooperation
of distributed “systems” in open environment; Engineering design
of agent-oriented, service-oriented, and Grid computing to improve the
“quality” of cooperative distributed systems. Application areas
include enterprise integration, electronic business, collaborative manufacturing and complex real-time systems.
Dr. Ghenniwa is
currently leading several academic and industrial R&D projects concerned with
integration in distributed information systems, e-business, intelligent
content distribution for a narrowcast medium, dynamic scheduling for collaborative
manufacturing, control architecture & mechanisms for physical mobile
agents, intelligent assistance for mobile engineers and mission critical
tasks.
All of our projects
are conducted and sponsored in collaboration
with industrial partners, government and academic research institutes. These research activities are conducted in our research labs to develop
sophisticated system architectures, tools and prototypes that range from mobile
physical robots, to integration and collaborative tools, to intelligent
manufacturing and business solutions.
Our research has
resulted in over one hundred publications
in world-class journals and conference proceedings.
Dr.
Ghenniwa received a B.Sc. degree (1984) in Computer Engineering from
