Recent projects:

•    NSF PAWR: COSMOS testbed (Cloud Enhanced Open Software Defined Mobile Wireless Testbed for City-Scale Deployment)
The COSMOS testbed will cover one square mile in West Harlem, with City College to the north, Columbia University’s Morningside Heights campus to the south, the Hudson River to the west, and Apollo Theater to the east. This vibrant, densely populated neighborhood is seen as an ideal place to push the bandwidth and latency limits of 4G, and even fifth-generation wireless technology, or 5G, which carriers are starting to roll out in some cities now.  
The COSMOS architecture has a particular focus on ultra-high bandwidth and low latency wireless communication tightly coupled with edge cloud computing. The COSMOS testbed will be deployed in upper Manhattan and will consist of 40-50 advanced software-defined radio nodes along with fiber-optic front-haul and back-haul networks and edge and core cloud computing infrastructure. Researchers will be able to run experiments remotely on the COSMOS testbed by logging into a web-based portal which will provide various facilities for experiment execution, measurements, and data collection.

•    NSF IRNC: Testbed COSMOS Interconnecting Continents (COSMIC)
A Rutgers/Columbia/Arizona/CCNY team has been awarded  from NSF entitled "IRNC: Testbed: COSMOS Interconnecting Continents (COSM-IC)".  The CCNY PI Prof. Saadawi and Co-PI Prof. Myung Lee. The project is aimed at development of an international networking and wireless testbed by federating US research testbeds including COSMOS, ORBIT, FABRIC and PEERING with experimental facilities in Ireland, Greece, Brazil and Japan.  The federated international testbed will enable experimental research on a wide range of  optical, wireless, SDN networking, inter-domain routing and edge computing experiments at a global scale. In particular, CCNY and Kyutech Japan have been collaborating for a set of experiments using COSM-IC fiber connectivity. 
 
•    NSF STTR Phase I:  Stochastic Computing-based Host Intrusion Detection System 
Stochastic Computing (SC) to provide hardware Host Intrusion Detection System (HIDS) security solution for resource limited IoT devices.  The proposed approach exploited two salient properties of SC: 1) consumption of less silicon area and power, 2)  both SC and HIDS are inherently probabilistic in nature. SC is generated probabilistically from conventional number system that can perform complex mathematical operation using simple hardware blocks. The proposed approach provides industrial drone with HIDS based on simple hardware together with  Machine Learning Neural Network Algorithm. Coupled with other security layers such as cryptography, access control etc., this light weight hardware solution provides strong security to the resource limited IoT devices. Embedded inside the device, this HIDS monitors the incoming packets for any malicious activity and offers the important layer of security defense.  

•    NSF JUNO2:  Resilient Cloud Designed Networks (RECN)
The objective of this joint research between CUNY and Kyutech Japan is to conduct between   foundational research on a resilient edge cloud designed network to achieve basic understanding of the underlying science for future RECN. This work will cover issues of security, heterogeneity, resource constraints and potential mobility of end devices/sensors. A backbone network will be implemented and diversity of access network technologies, availability/placement of computing resources and Quality of Service (QoS) requirements will be examined.
