All inked up, and ready to review first draft of my PhD students’ thesis
Three different shades of red, so ready for three different levels of frustration 😀 No, but seriously, all-inclusive, I am looking forward to reading these 213 pages of densely packed science.
First talk after lunch at the IoT and Cybersecurity mini-symposium was Juan Antonio Cordero Fuertes challenging us with “Rebuild but don’t break: the challenge of content centric networking”
First talk after lunch at the IoT and Cybersecurity mini-symposium was Juan Antonio Cordero Fuertes challenging us with “Rebuild but don’t break: the challenge of content centric networking” — touching on the challenge of evolving the core Internet infrastructure, on…

Last before lunch: Yoann Desmouceaux talking “Cloud Native Datacenters” at our IoT and Cybersecurity mini-symposium at Ecole Polytechnique
Reviewing state-of-the-art, and introducing our students to some of his own work on application-agnostic, stateless, load-aware load balancing using IPv6 Segment Routing.
Next up at the IoT and Cybersecurity mini-symposium: Jiazi Yi discussing “The World’s Biggest IoT System” — the SmartGrid
A trip down memory lane of “the grid in France today” — and an overview of the technologies currently being deployed (including Linky)
Paper: Investigating data broadcast performance in mobile ad-hoc networks
We investigate broadcasting in mobile ad-hoc networks (MANETs). We define broadcasting as being the process of delivering one packet, originated at one node, to (ideally) all other nodes in the MANET. We present specific problems related to broadcasting in MANETs,…

Paper: Combining Temporal and Spartial Partial Topolgy for MANET Routing – Merging OLSR and FSR
In this paper, we propose an extension to the Optimized Link State Routing (OLSR) protocol, a proactive link-state routing protocol optimized for mobile ad-hoc networks, in-troducing temporal partial topology as a mechanism for re-ducing control traffic overhead. The extension is…

Yay! Bibliometrics – a 20 citations-in-8-months paper
I have previously written about how while bibliometrics may pretend to be “quantifying impact” of a scientist, they really do not. That said, it made me smile the other morning when I got a Google Scholar alert that our paper…
