Natural and man-made disaster and
emergency situations are unfortunately
becoming part of our daily lives and in
recent years we see more frequent
occurrence of such events.
In this talk, we will discuss the recent advancements and
developments in the field of wireless communications for
emergency and disaster situations and some of our
research works carried out in this field.
Wireless Communications Techniques for Emergency and
Disaster Situations by Professor Abbas Jamalipour
With the advancement of technology and in particular,
the wireless communications technology, we expect to
see better prediction and post-disaster management
and control for such unfortunate events. The wireless
communications technology therefore is providing us
with not only better connectivity and knowledge
distribution, it can also save lives or make the disaster times a bit more bearable to the affected communities.

Integration of electrical power grid and
data communication in a smart grid
network introduces various advantages
such its greenness, two-way
communications between energy
suppliers and customers, real-time pricing,
load shedding and consumption
management. It also creates a wide area
of research for the telecommunications
and distributed computing researchers. As
a result, Smart Grid has very recently
become a critical interdisciplinary research
field among power, telecommunications
and computer engineer communities.
In this talk, the topic of Smart Grid Network will be
explained in a completely new way and after that some
of main challenging issues in such a network, including
the security and privacy of grid customers will be
described. Security and privacy are considered as the
decision-making issues on whether nations will adopt
the intelligent grid in near future or leave it open to a
distant future.
The talk will also include the new research and development direction towards the
Internet of Things where the network connectivity extends its boundary beyond the
usual digital devices to basically every device, appliance and “thing” around us. The
IoT would be also discussed as an umbrella of the Smart Grid Network.
