Ênio Filho successfully defended his PhD dissertation on "An Evaluation Framework for Safe Cooperative Vehicle Platooning"

Enio Prates Vasconcelos Filho successfully defended his PhD thesis, supervised by Eduardo Tovar, and co-supervised by Anis Koubaa and Luis Almeida, at the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto, Portugal.


His thesis entitled "An Evaluation Framework for Safe Cooperative Vehicle Platooning" presents a framework named CopaDrive, aimed at vehicular applications capable of realistically simulating control and communication models. Based on ROS, this framework allows solutions to be developed and validated faster and more efficiently than current models. Its design is composed of the simulation tool, Hardware in the Loop, and the Robotica testbed. Starting from the use case of a Cooperative Vehicle Platooning (Co-VP) system, using this tool, it was possible to present a control solution capable of increasing the size of the platooning, increasing the safety of the maneuvers performed. Furthermore, it was possible to show the efficiency of modifying the message-sending triggers based on the ETSI ITS-G5 communication model.

The PhD examination committee was composed of Prof. Rahul Mangharam, from University of Pennsylvania, USA; Prof. António Casimiro Ferreira da Costa, Departamento de Informática da Faculdade de Ciências da Universidade de Lisboa, Prof. Joaquim José de Castro Ferreira, Escola Superior de Tecnologia e Gestão de Águeda da Universidade de Aveiro and Prof. Paulo José Lopes Machado Portugal, Departamento de Engenharia Eletrotécnica e de Computadores da Faculdade de Engenharia da Universidade do Porto. It was chaired by Prof. José Nuno Moura Marques Fidalgo, Full Professor of the Faculty of Engineering of the University of Porto.

PhD Forum Prize at DATE 2023

The extended abstract entitled "Shared Resource Contention Aware Schedulability Analysis for Multiprocessor Real-Time Systems" presented by CISTER PhD student Jatin Arora got the "Best Poster Prize" at the PhD Forum of Design, Automation and Test in Europe Conference (DATE) 2023 that took place in Antwerp, Belgium from 17 to 19 April 2023. DATE is a premiere European conference for design, automation & test and this year's edition of DATE attracted more than 900 participants from across the world.

 

The PhD forum of DATE is a well-known platform for recent PhD graduates/final year PhD students to present their PhD research work to a broader audience.  The PhD forum of DATE 2023 featured 46 researchers/final-year PhD students from prestigious organizations across the world. The PhD forum best poster prize is supported by EDAA, ACM SIGDA, and IEEE CEDA. Besides the best poster prize, Jatin is a recipient of the PhD forum travel grant and full registration sponsorship for DATE 2023 under the Young People Programme (YPP).

 

The extended abstract co-authored by Jatin Arora, Eduardo Tovar, and Cláudio Maia summarizes the major research challenges addressed during Jatin's PhD studies. This recognition sets a relevant milestone in Jatin's PhD studies.
