Computer Networking @Ecole Polytechnique
Intro I am very excited to present this work, published in the IEEE Access journal, which presents an alternative to standard AI workload acceleration mechanisms at the edge (hardware acceleration, model compression, cloud off-loading). This work, in collaboration with Cisco,…

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…
