Special
Session 1: Embedded Systems & IoT
Organizers:
Description:
Since the use of embedded systems is becoming more
and more widespread (IoT, Smart cities, Transport,
Smart Manufacturing Systems, etc.), the design and
verification of these software dominated systems
become a complex task. To tackle this complexity,
there is an urgent need to review co-design flow and
related performance evaluation and optimisation
techniques.
On the other hand, due to the heterogeneity of their
components and their interdependencies, it is quasi
impossible to guarantee they are failure-free
permanently. Hence, developing advanced monitoring
facilities and alternative solutions becomes
essential.
The aim of this session is to expose recent works on
issues related to design, monitoring and
verification of embedded systems used in IoT and
smart cities, developing and using models for
performance, security and safety purposes.

Pr 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. 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.
|
He is also the principal investigator for the
“Performance evaluation of MPSoC: Time & Energy
consumption” project in LIP2/FST Laboratory in
Tunis. 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).

Pr Mohamed GHAZEL
is a senior researcher with COSYS/ESTAS research
team (Evaluation and Safety of Automated Transport
Systems) at the IFSTTAR institute (The French
Institute of Science and Technology for Transport,
Development and Networks). He is member of the IFAC
technical committee TC 7.4 on Transportation
systems. He obtained in 2001 the engineering diploma
in Productics from the ENSAIT de Roubaix (France),
the Masters degree in automatic control and
industrial computer sciences from Ecole Centrale de
Lille/University of Lille (France) in 2002, and the
the Ph.D in automatic control and industrial
computer sciences from the same university in 2002.
|
In 2014, he received the Habilitation à Diriger des
Recherches (HDR) from the University of Lille.
Dr. Ghazel specializes in safety
and security of transportation systems and develops
methods of behavioral modeling, state estimation,
verification & validation, fault detection and
diagnosis, while using formal discrete event
notations (Petri Nets, State Finite Automata,
Temporal Logic, etc.) and semi-formal (UML, etc.)
models. The main applications of his research are in
transportation and critical systems, with a special
interest in guided transportation systems
(improvement of safety and interoperability in
railways, ERTMS, etc.). He has been involved in
several national and European research projects
dealing with safety and security of guided
transportation systems and critical infrastructures.
Dr. Ghazel teaches software
engineering with various applications to critical
systems to engineering and Master’s students. He has
supervised several PhD and Master’s theses and is a
reviewer for international journals and conferences.

Special
Session 2: Reconfigurable Logic Design and
Verification
Organizer:
Prof. Ashraf Salem
Description:
The session will cover the new trends in
Reconfigurable Logic Design and Verification,
including the new techniques of partitioning big
deigns on single or multiple FPGAs, the use of the
reconfigurable logic to implement complex designs,
the use of FPGAs as accelerators, NoC and
Security-aware design implementation on FPGA and
secure Furthermore, the session will cover design
verification using Emulators and FPGA-based
prototyping. Finally, it will address the use of the
virtual prototyping approach combined with emulation
and FPGA verification methodologies
