Prof. Evangelos Kranakis has received a three year grant from the Department of National Defence (DND) to research Network Computing for Distributed Underwater Acoustic Sensor Networks. The three year project involves adaptation and development of link-state routing to underwater acoustic networks as well as opportunistic communication and topology control. This is part of a national project on Adaptive Multi-sensor Biometrics for Unsupervised Submarine Hunt led by the DND that includes a Carleton team (which involves Prof. Michel Barbeau and Visiting Profs. Joaquin Garcia-Alfaro and Gimer Cervera) that will also be co-operating with research teams at Dalhousie, McGill and Concordia Universities.
