Biography
Rihab Maaloul received B.S. and M.S. degrees in Computer Science and Multimedia from
the Higher Institute of Computer and Multimedia at the University of Sfax in 2009 and 2011,
respectively, and a Ph.D. in Computer Systems Engineering from the National Engineering
School (ENIS) of Sfax in 2018. She was a contract assistant professor of computer science at
the Higher Institute of Computer Science of Multimedia at the University of Sfax, Tunisia for
eight years. She is currently a researcher at the Laboratory of Signals, systeMs, aRtificial
Intelligence and neTworkS (LT2S), Digital Research Centre of Sfax. Her research interests
include computer networks and communications, especially in the areas of energy saving,
network optimization, 5G machine learning techniques, and self-Organizing Networks
