Abstract:

Internet of Things (IoT) faces two communication challenges: global connectivity and large amount of connecting IoT devices. In this talk, we will address some new communication issues raised in Internet of Things. We will cover issues from the MAC layer of sensor networks, LTE Machine Type Communication, to the standard framework for IoT applications with focus on aforementioned two communication challenges.

Bio:

REN-HUNG HWANG received his Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, in 1993. He joined the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National Chung Cheng University, Chia-Yi, Taiwan, in 1993, where he is now the Dean of the College of Engineering and distinguished professor of the Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering. He is currently on the editorial boards of the Journal of Information Science and Engineering and The Scientific World Journal (Computer Science area). He has published more than 200 referred international journal and conference papers. He received the IEEE Outstanding Paper Award from IEEE IC/ATC/ICA3PP 2012, the best paper award of the 4th Asia-Pacific HL7 Conference on Healthcare Information Standards (2005), and the best paper award of the 10th Mobile Computing Workshop (2004). He was Guest Editor of IET Communications’ Special Issue on WiMAX Integrated Communications and Program Chair of the International Symposium on Pervasive Systems, Algorithms, and Networks ’09. He is a co-author of the textbook, Computer Networks: An Open Source Approach (McGraw-Hill, 2011) which is the first textbook that interleaves open source implementation examples with protocol design descriptions to bridge the gap between design and implementation. Dr. Hwang is a senior member of IEEE.
