Biography: Dr. Rajkumar Buyya is a Redmond Barry Distinguished Professor and Director of the Cloud Computing and Distributed Systems (CLOUDS) Laboratory at the University of Melbourne, Australia. He is also serving as the founding CEO of Manjrasoft, a spin-off company of the University, commercializing its innovations in Cloud Computing. He has authored over 850 publications and seven textbooks including "Mastering Cloud Computing" published by McGraw Hill, China Machine Press, and Morgan Kaufmann for Indian, Chinese and international markets respectively. Dr. Buyya is one of the highly cited authors in computer science and software engineering worldwide (h-index=168 g-index=369, and 150,600+ citations). He has been recognised as IEEE Fellow, a "Web of Science Highly Cited Researcher" for seven times since 2016, the "Best of the World" twice for research fields (in Computing Systems in 2019 and Software Systems in 2021/2022/2023) as well as "Lifetime Achiever" and "Superstar of Research" in "Engineering and Computer Science" discipline twice (2019 and 2021) by the Australian Research Review.

Software technologies for Grid, Cloud, Fog, and Quantum computing developed under Dr. Buyya's leadership have gained rapid acceptance and are in use at several academic institutions and commercial enterprises in 50+ countries around the world. Manjrasoft's Aneka Cloud technology developed under his leadership has received "Frost New Product Innovation Award". He served as founding Editor-in-Chief of the IEEE Transactions on Cloud Computing. He is currently serving as Editor-in-Chief of Software: Practice and Experience, a long-standing journal in the field established 54+ years ago. He has presented over 750 invited talks (keynotes, tutorials, and seminars) on his vision on IT Futures, Advanced Computing technologies, and Spiritual Science at international conferences and institutions in Asia, Australia, Europe, North America, and South America. He has recently been recognized as a Fellow of the Academy of Europe. For further information on Dr.Buyya, please visit his cyberhome: www.buyya.com

 

 

 


Prof. Jiankun Hu

Speech Title: Privacy-Preserving Biometric Authentication

Abstract: It is well-known that biometrics can provide an authentication of genuine users. Significant advances have been made in the field with many successful applications, e.g., border control and digital access control. Biometrics involves a person’s privacy data which is regulated by laws in many countries. There is a trend/need to develop privacy-preserving biometrics authentication technologies. In this talk, I’ll introduce some major research works in this field. It will cover the popular infinite-to-one mapping-based cancelable biometrics template design, Attack via Record Multiplicity (ARM), ARM attack resilient cancelable biometrics designs, and hill-climbing attacks on biometrics templates. We will introduce our latest projects/works on ARM and hill-climbing resilient cancelable deep learning models.

Biography: Jiankun Hu is a professor with the School of Systems and Computing, University of New South Wales, Canberra, Australia. He has received ten Australian Research Council (ARC) Grants and has served at the Panel on Mathematics, Information, and Computing Sciences, Australian Research Council ERA - The Excellence in Research for Australia Evaluation Committee in 2012. His research interests are in the field of cyber security covering intrusion detection, sensor key management, and biometrics authentication. His main research interest is in the field of cyber security, including biometrics security, where he has publications at top venues including the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON PATTERN ANALYSIS AND MACHINE INTELLIGENCE, IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION FORENSICS AND SECURITY, and PATTERN RECOGNITION. He is a Senior Area Editor of the IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION FORENSICS AND SECURITY. He has a Google h-index of 70.

Speech Title: Real-time Internet of Things: Architecture, Algorithms and Applications

Abstract: The Internet of Things (IoT) is an emerging revolution, which targets anytime connectivity for anything to create smart environments in which there is fast-paced interaction between systems (networked sensors, heterogeneous devices, actuators, robots) and between such systems and people. To further enable real-time services in IoT, a new multi-tier computing paradigm is recently introduced and explored in both academic and industrial fields. Its basic concept is to construct local computing nodes (aka edge/fog nodes), which moves computation, control, networking, storage and security functionalities from traditional remote cloud right to a place closer to the end-users in order to optimally support time-critical applications. Meanwhile, it also empowers a new set of industrial applications, such as networked robotics and cloud-fog automation, to achieve real-time operations. In this talk, a complete overview and recent developments of real-time IoT will be presented with its applications in smart manufacturing, smart transportation and smart cities.

Biography: Jiong Jin is currently a full Professor and Associate Dean Research (acting) in the School of Science, Computing and Engineering Technologies, Swinburne University of Technology. He received the B.E. degree with First Class Honours in Computer Engineering from Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, in 2006, and the Ph.D. degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering from the University of Melbourne, Australia, in 2011. His research interests include network design and optimization, edge computing and intelligence, robotics and automation, and cyber-physical systems and Internet of Things as well as their applications in smart manufacturing, smart transportation and smart cities. He is recognized as an Honourable Mention in the AI 2000 Most Influential Scholars List in IoT (2021 and 2022) and included in Stanford University’s list of the world Top 2% scientists for citation impact since 2019. He is currently an Associate Editor of IEEE Transactions on Industrial Informatics.
