Prof. Ben-Othman of University of Paris

In recent years, there have been growing interest and research efforts in the area of Vehicular Ad-hoc Networks (VANET). This is due to the ability of those networks to make an interface between the driver and the vehicle, and allow to improve the security of passengers. Even if VANETs have many advantages as easy deployment, user mobility and provide network access to users regardless to their locations, they suffers form security issues and specifically to Denial of Service (DoS). Thus, most critical problems that arise in those networks are on the resource allocations as the bandwidth is limited, the propagation (multi-path, fading, distortion) and security since communications are transmitted over radio waves. In this talk I will present issues about availability problem in those networks and architecture, new works to fix this problem will be presented as well and several directions will be given.
