Sherin Moussa

I am a research scholar visitor in the Department of Computer Science at UIUC and a member of the Open Systems Laboratory. Currently, I am working on my PhD studies under the co-supervision of Prof. Dr. Gul A. Agha and Prof. Dr. Mohamed Essam Khalifa (Ain Shams University, Egypt). I'm working on developing a framework for mobility-aware resource management in multi-inhabitant smart spaces. Smart spaces, mobile agents security, agents negotiation skills and simulators are my main concerns in this study. Before coming here, I completed my Bachelors, Excellent with honors grade, in May 2000 and then my Masters in March 2004 at the Faculty of Computer & Information Sciences, Ain Shams University, Cairo, Egypt. My research interests are in the areas of Mobile Computing, Ubiquitous / Pervasive Computing, Mobile Agents, Mobile agents security, Multi-Agents Systems, Context-Awareness, Smart spaces, and Wireless Sensor Networks. Previously, I have worked on Data Mining, Text Mining and Document Clustering.
