معرفی
Prof. Jamal Bentahar is a Professor at the Concordia Institute for Information Systems Engineering (CIISE), part of Concordia University's Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science. His research focuses on intelligent agents, multi-agent systems, federated learning, reinforcement learning, cybersecurity, and their applications in healthcare, IoT, and autonomous systems. He leads research initiatives in AI-driven medical imaging, edge-cloud computing, and blockchain-empowered distributed systems.
Key research areas include:
- Multi-Agent Systems: Formal verification of trust and commitments, group trust modeling, and distributed decision-making
- Federated Learning: On-demand client/model deployment, trust-aware optimization, and privacy-preserving frameworks
- Medical AI: Cardiac ultrasound analysis, CPR signal processing, and robotic telemedicine systems
- Edge/IoT Intelligence: UAV-enabled vehicular networks, energy-efficient LoRa gateways, and fog computing optimization
His work bridges theoretical foundations (e.g., multi-valued model checking) with practical applications in healthcare robotics, smart city infrastructure, and autonomous vehicle safety. Recent publications highlight innovations in transformer-based reinforcement learning, spherical topic modeling, and explainable AI for cybersecurity.
Prof. Bentahar's contributions include tools like MV-Checker for multi-valued verification and frameworks like CACTUS for cardiac ultrasound analysis. He actively publishes in top venues and serves as editor for special sections on federated learning and AI applications.
