In this talk we will present our experience building the SAVI (Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructure) multitier cloud testbed to provide an application platform for smart city experiments. We will describe the CVST (Connected Vehicles for Smart Transportation) application platform which was built on top of SAVI and will then discuss challenges we are currently addressing in our lab to develop a platform for smart cities applications.

UTTRI associated faculty Dr. Alberto Leon-Garcia is Professor in Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Toronto. He is a Life Fellow of the Institute of Electronics an Electrical Engineering “for contributions to multiplexing and switching of integrated services traffic.” He authored the textbooks Probability and Random Processes for Electrical Engineering and Communication Networks: Fundamental Concepts and Key Architecture.

Dr. Leon-Garcia was Founder and CTO of AcceLight Networks in Ottawa from 1999 to 2002. He was Scientific Director of the NSERC Strategic Network for Smart Applications on Virtual Infrastructures (SAVI), and Principal Investigator of the project on Connected Vehicles and Smart Transportation. SAVI designed and deployed a national testbed in Canada that converges cloud computing and software-defined networking. CVST designed and deployed an application platform for smart transportation. Leon-Garcia is Founder of StreamWorx.ai which offers massive-scale, real-time streaming, analytics, and machine learning software for network operations and cybersecurity applications.
