Tahani Abu Musa, a PhD student at our department, supervised by Prof. Abdelaziz Bouras, has received the “IFIP WG5.1 Award of the Best Doctoral Proposal” during the IFIP 18th International Conference on Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) held on 11-14 July 2021, Curitiba, Brazil.

Tahani’s presented research plan titled “Anomaly Detection in Blockchain-enabled Supply Chain: A Deep Learning Approach” deals with the development of an anomaly detection framework, for detecting anomalous transactions in business processes. Her research work focuses on three objectives:

1. Improve the accuracy of anomaly detection in the Supply Chain large volume of transactions, using a deep learning-based approach.
2. Provide anomalies classification, to improve the Supply Chain business processes, by utilizing Ontology as a smart knowledge base.
3. Enhance and secure the Supply Chain information system by incorporating Blockchains in the global network and building more reliable Smart Contracts.
