This workshop aims to comprehend thorough, and unified vision of the resource allocation issue in complex multi-user, multi-machine and multi-operator IoT heterogeneous networks. It aims to bring together researchers, academics, individuals working on selected areas of resource allocation and spectrum management in IoT networks, and share their new ideas, latest findings, and results in the following topics, but not limited to:
-
Resource and network management in IoT networks
-
Cooperative resource allocation and management
-
Distributed scheduling and resource allocation
-
Quality of Service (QoS) support for various IoT devices/networks
-
Scheduling on heterogeneous nodes
-

- Prof. Catherine Rosenberg - Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in the Future Internet
​
Catherine Rosenberg is a Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Waterloo. Since June 2010, she holds the Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in the Future Internet. She started her career in ALCATEL, France and then at AT&T Bell Labs., USA. From 1988-1996, she was a faculty member at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Ecole Polytechnique, Montreal, Canada. In 1996, she joined Nortel Networks in the UK where she created and headed the R&D Department in Broadband Satellite Networking. In August 1999, Dr. Rosenberg became a Professor in the School of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Purdue University where she co-founded in May 2002 the Center for Wireless Systems and Applications (CWSA). She joined University of Waterloo on Sept 1st, 2004 as the Chair of the Department
of Electrical and Computer Engineering for a three-year term.
​
Catherine Rosenberg was on the Scientific Advisory Board of the Orange Group (France-Telecom) from 2007 to mid 2015. She became its president January 2013. She also became the president of the Scientific Advisory Board of the French IRT (Research and Technology Institute) B<>COM on multimedia and networking in 2014. She was on the Board of Governors of the IEEE Communications Society from January 2007 to December 2009. She was an Associate Editor for IEEE Communications Magazine, Telecommunications Systems, and IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing, and served as IEEE Communications Surveys and Series co-Editor for the Series on Adhoc and Sensor Networks for IEEE Communications Magazine.
​
She is currently on sabbatical at the Laboratoire d'Informatique de Paris 6 (LIP 6) in the PHARE team at the University Pierre et Marie Curie (UPMC). She was a Visiting Scientist at Technicolor Lab in Paris in June 2009 and in Orange Lab also in Paris in June 2011. While on sabbatical, she was a Visiting Professor at the Laboratory of Information, Network and Communication Sciences (LINCS), Paris, France (from May to Dec. 2012) and in the EECS Dept. at the University of California at Berkeley (from Feb. to May 2013).
She was elected an IEEE Fellow for contributions to resource management in wireless and satellite networks on 2011 and a Fellow of the Canadian Academy of Engineering in 2013. She has been an Adjunct Professor in the School of ECE at Purdue University since 2004 and is Cross-Appointed in the School of Computer Science at University of Waterloo since 2012. She is a member of the Board of Director of Syngene one of the largest Custom Research Companies (CRC) in India. She has authored over 150 papers on broadband and wireless networking, traffic engineering and smart grids, and has been granted eight US patents.
