His areas of research interest include Next Generation Vehicle Networks (NGVN), Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), Wireless Sensor Networking, and
Distributed Processing Systems with an emphasis on automotive applications.
Electronic systems will have to support interdepartmental needs, such as time and attendance tracking, inventory control, fire and safety operations, material tracking, article surveillance, access control, intrusion detection, guard tour management, industrial process monitoring, and energy management through a combination of both centralized and
distributed processing systems.
These computers have made possible telecommunications, computer networks, office automation, and
distributed processing systems (Synnott & Gruber, 1981).
The growth of expenses in this budget area is constrained because earlier investments in
distributed processing systems have produced reductions in the cost of data previously provided the large mainframe computer and has further limited cost growth by improving the productivity of existing staff.
Distributed processing systems allow for data capture on larger local storage devices, which minimize the amount of traffic on communications lines.
