Computer Networking @Ecole Polytechnique
Beyond the transport of uncompressed video over IP networks, defined in standards such as ST2022-6, the ability to build software-based Video Processing Functions (VPF) on commodity hardware and using general purpose Operating Systems is the next logical step in the…

Oh, look, an interview with our own Juan-Antonio Cordero Fuertes, on the IoT, on Security, and on the Digitised Society — well worth a read for an informed perspective on societal impacts of those 21th century technologies: Interview in English…

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” — touching on the challenge of evolving the core Internet infrastructure, on…

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.
A trip down memory lane of “the grid in France today” — and an overview of the technologies currently being deployed (including Linky)
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,…

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…

During my lunch break today, I tried to glean what “news for nerds – stuff that matters” had happened lately — but, when trying to access slashdot.org, I was met with this: While I, admittedly, do not know what infrastructure…

Marceau Coupechoux, professor at Telecom-ParisTech, and adjunct professor at Ecole Polytechnique – and, thus, in addition to being a good friend, also a good colleague – has conspired with two of his collaborators (A. S. Bedi, K. Rajawat) from IIT…

One of our research activites is “quantifying and improving LoRa”, and we’ve published some interesting results in the past on that topic, based on some analytical — and, a lot of experimental — data. We love experimental work, but sometimes…

Colleagues, IoT, Jiazi Yi, LoRa, networking, Ns3, Research, Simulation
My colleagues Jiazi, Juan, and I, just finished the final editorial bits of process on a new paper “Use ’em or Lose ’em: On Unidirectional Links in Reactive Routing Protocols”, published in Elsevier Ad Hoc Networks – and with the paper…

Saturday morning, after a long (and, very constructive) process, came the long-awaited email from the IEEE: our paper “6LB: Scalable and Application-Aware Load Balancing with Segment Routing” was definitely accepted for publication in the IEEE Transactions on Networking. The paper is…

With heaps of snow outside the windows, I and my colleagues are spending our days going through heaps of applications for the Ecole Polytechnique Graduate Degree program “IoT: Innovation and Management”. This week: interviews with prospective students. A competent engineer…

I just got word that my good friend, on-again-off-again-on-again colleague, and habitual co-conspirator, Leo Liberti, is giving an open seminar on “Distance Geometry in Data Science”, on January the 18, from 14h to 15h30 at SystemX (here’re access directions) at Palaiseau…

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…

The mail-man came, today, with a plaque from the IEEE making official that I now am a senior citizen member… I guess there’s now no more denying what my students, and former students (I am looking at especially you, Ulrich Herberg!)…

In waiting for the final version to appear at IEEExplorer, and on (surprisingly) popular demand, a preprint of the paper “SRLP: The Power of Choices in Load Balancing with Segment Routing”, which Yoann presented at ICDCS’37 earlier this week, is on-line for your…

Today, and at this very moment (assuming that they stick to the agenda, and I did time-zone computations correctly), our own Yoann Desmouceaux (X11), along with Mark Townsley, are in Atlanta Georgia presenting the paper “SRLB: The Power of Choices in Load…

Back in late October, Mark Townsley and I had a conversation which went something like this: Mark: “I can’t believe it’s only November, given how much has already happened since the summer vacation…” Me: “And I can’t believe its already…

Yesterday my colleague Juan Antonio Cordero Fuertes, and I, were visiting the computer science department of Tokyo University. And, got a chance to visit their beautiful, urban, campus in all its fall splendor. And, tomorrow, I will be back (this time…

This afternoon a former student, Thibaut Lajoie-Mazenc (X12), came back to Ecole Polytechnique – in part, to simply catch up with old acquaintances – but, also, to present his work on in-depth analysing, and offering an extremely detailed tutorial on, Bitcoin and…

Juan Antonio Cordero Fuertes is joining Ecole Polytechnique as a research assistant professor today, on September 1, 2016 – and is, as such, joining my research group. Or, more accurately, is “re-joining” my research group: years ago he did his…
