About
Bassam Alrifaee’s research lies at the intersection of networked control systems, distributed decision-making, and connected and automated vehicles. His most impactful contribution is **embeddedRTPS**, a portable, open-source implementation of the Real-Time Publish-Subscribe Protocol for microcontrollers, which enables real-time, distributed robotic applications (26 citations). This work provides a critical middleware layer for loosely-coupled, scalable multi-agent systems. Alrifaee has also pioneered methods for **coordinated cooperative distributed decision-making**, introducing algorithms that synchronize local plans among agents to ensure feasibility and consistency—a key challenge in large-scale networked control (18 citations). His work on **dynamic priority assignment** in distributed trajectory planning for road vehicles addresses the computational bottlenecks of centralized control, improving feasibility in real-time scenarios (12 citations). Additionally, his comprehensive survey on small-scale testbeds for connected and automated vehicles and robot swarms (14 citations) serves as an essential guide for researchers building validation platforms. Alrifaee’s contributions are foundational for enabling safe, efficient, and scalable coordination in autonomous systems, from robot swarms to intelligent transportation.
