TITLE: Edge Learning for Dynamic Networks

ABSTRACT:
Dynamic networks, in particular the Internet of Vehicles (IoV), are undoubtedly at the core of the future of intelligent transportation. They will prevail over the road ecosystem and will hugely impact our lives by providing seamless connectivity among various transportation means. For the network to operate efficiently, the data needs to be efficiently spread throughout the network, which requires low computational and bandwidth overheads. However, the dynamics of vehicular environments due to frequent node mobility poses many challenges to realising efficient data dissemination. In addition, there are other aspects to consider while studying these networks, such as cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities. We tackle the former utilising edge-based algorithms and protocols leveraging statistical learning and graph theory. (slides)
