A Long Week…
A PhD “midway defense” marks the end of a busy “back-to-school” week — to think that it took me almost 20 years of working in Paris academia before I got a chance to visit LIP6 the UPMC campus. Next up…

It’s summer – it’s Science-Time…
It’s summer…which means that while our engineering and graduate students are leaving campus, we’ve got an occasion to spend important quality time with our PhD students and colleagues, and make (attempts at) leap and bounds on our scientific production ……

Bad Science: Euh…*Optimistic* Link State Routing Protocol for Adhoc Networks????
The other morning, Google Scholar shot me another email, indicating new citations to my papers. It’s often interesting to see how other people build on what I’ve done in the past, and so it’s become somewhat of a tradition that…

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…

Paper: Evaluation of routing protocol for low power and Lossy Networks: LOADng and RPL
Routing protocol is a critical component of Low-power and Lossy Networks for Smart Grid. The protocols are used for data forwarding, which includes data acquisition, information dissemination, etc. This paper evaluates two main routing protocols used for Low-power and Lossy…

Is Elsevier, the academic publishing house, really stuck in the 1990’s?
This other day, when trying to mark-up a final proof of a paper that my colleagues and I had accepted to an Elsevier journal, I had a flash-back to the 1990’s – you know, the good old days when not…

If only Slashdot used 6LB …
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…

Three reasons to go to Hawaii in April: It’s Hawaii, INFOCOM2018 is there, and Marceau and colleagues will present an exciting paper…
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…
