A survey on clustering algorithms for wireless sensor networks

Mohamed Younis received B.S. degree in computer
science and M.S. in engineering mathematics
from Alexandria University in Egypt in
1987 and 1992, respectively. In 1996, he received
his Ph.D. in computer science from New Jersey
Institute of Technology. He is currently an
associate professor in the department of computer
science and electrical engineering at the university
of Maryland Baltimore County (UMBC). Before
joining UMBC, he was with the Advanced Systems
Technology Group, an Aerospace Electronic
Systems R&D organization of Honeywell International Inc. While at
A.A. Abbasi, M. Younis / Computer Communications 30 (2007) 2826–2841 2841
Honeywell he led multiple projects for building integrated fault tolerant
avionics, in which a novel architecture and an operating system were
developed. This new technology has been incorporated by Honeywell in
multiple products and has received worldwide recognition by both the
research and the engineering communities. He also participated in the
development the Redundancy Management System, which is a key component
of the Vehicle and Mission Computer for NASA’s X-33 space
launch vehicle. Dr. Younis’ technical interest includes network architectures
and protocols, embedded systems, fault tolerant computing and
distributed real-time systems. Dr. Younis has four granted and three
pending patents. He served on multiple technical committees and published
over 85 technical papers in refereed conferences and journals.
