Professor Isaac Woungang received his Ph.D. degree in Mathematics from the University of South, Toulon and Var, France. From 1999 to 2002, he worked as a software engineer in the Photonic Line Systems Group, Nortel Networks, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada,. Since 2002, he has been with Ryerson University, where he is now a full professor of Computer Science and Director of the Distributed Applications and Broad band (DABNEL) Lab. Dr. Woungang has published 8 books and over 89 refereed technical articles in scholarly international journals and proceedings of international conferences. He has served as Associate Editor of the Computers and Electrical Engineering (Elsevier), and the International Journal of Communication Systems (Wiley). He has Guest Edited several Special Issues with various reputed journals such as IET Information Security, Mathematical and Computer Modeling (Elsevier), Computer Communications (Elsevier), Computers and Electrical Engineering (Elsevier), and Telecommunication Systems (Springer). Since January 2012, he is serving as Chair of Computer Chapter, IEEE Toronto Section.
This book presents the proceedings of the 4th International Conference on Wireless Intelligent and Distributed Environment for Communication (WIDECOM 2021), which took place at University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, October 13-15, 2021. The book addresses issues related to new dependability paradigms, design, and performance of dependable network computing and mobile systems, as well as issues related to the security of these systems. The main tracks include infrastructure, architecture, algorithms, and protocols. The goal of the conference is to provide a forum for researchers, students, scientists and engineers working in academia and industry to share their experiences, new ideas and research results in the above-mentioned areas.
