Profile

I received the B.Sc. degree in Computer Engineering from the University of Al-Fateh in 1986 and M.Eng. Sc. degree in Software Engineering at Western University, Department of Electric and Computer Engineering, London, Canada in 2003. The Master thesis was about developing an agent-based architecture for integration in cooperative distributed systems, with special focus on capability-based integration as brokering services. These services take into consideration any privacy desires that might be required from various participants in an open, dynamic, and heterogeneous environment.

Currently I am a PhD Candidate and a Teaching Assistant in the department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Western Ontario. The Ph .D program will put emphasis on continuing work in the new promising paradigm of the Agent technology. The main thesis of the work is to develop multi-agent system architecture for integration in cooperative distributed systems with a special focus on coordination and cooperation services that support ad hoc and automated system configurations. The focus will be on privacy-based brokering services and resource discovery for distributed, possibly autonomous and heterogeneous, entities.
