2. Aline C. Viana will be the keynote speaker of the CoUrb 2018 Workshop jointly organized with SBRC 2018, Brazil in May 2018.

3. Laurent Massoulie gave several invited talks at: Stochastic Networks Conference, UCSD; CIRM workshop on random matrices; Institut Henri Poincarï¿œs Nexus of Information and Computation Theories; LINCS scientific advisory board.

4. Cedric Adjih has presented in the June seminar of Digicosme GT task 2 Future Access Networks : “On Doing 5G with Old Low Cost Wireless Sensor Nodes (with RIOT, FIT IoT-LAB and one SDR device)”. This presented work-in-progress experimenting of some 5G-related method(s) on low cost wireless sensor nodes, focusing on massive access (for machine-type communication), and describing one of the most readily experimental family of methods for random access known as "Coded Slotted Aloha", along with its already known features and performance evaluation aspects. Proof-of-concept experimentation was also described starting from the underlying hardware platform, FIT IoT-LAB (a large scale open testbed IoT Lab), and the underlying software platform, RIOT (an Operating System from the Internet of Things). Using additionally a software-defined receiver, it was shown how such 5G-like random access can be experimented on such typical 802.15.4-based devices. An analysis of preliminary results was provided, along with some lessons learned and some consequences on the design space of such methods.

5. Cedric Adjih has presented a tutorial at ANTS 2017 in Bhubaneswar, Odisha, India, on the subject of "IoT in Practice": it presented a comparative study of embedded OS?s such as RIOT, Contiki, ARM Mbed, Zephyr as well as implementation specificities of IoT protocol stacks e.g. RPL/6LoWPAN. Insight on how do hardware and software building blocks and transport level and application level protocols fit together was be provided. Addressed practical issues include the analysis of actual protocol performance (e.g. 802.15.4 or LoRa stacks) in experimental settings, and topics such as reasons for adopting open source approaches for IoT solutions. Presentation of experimental proof of concepts concluded the tutorial.

6. Emmanuel Baccelli gave an invited talk at CiscoX Symposium 2017, on the topic of “ICN for IoT: Energy Efficiency, Opportunities & Challenges”

7. Emmanuel Baccelli gave an invited talk at Bremen University in February, on the topic of “End-to-End Open Source IoT with RIOT”.

Research Administration

1. Aline C. Viana is the President of the Scientific Commission at Inria Saclay, responsible for the selection of candidates for the CORDI-S, Post-Doc and Delegation campaigns.

2. Aline C. Viana will be the new leader of Infine team due to the fact that Laurent Massoulie had to leave Inria Saclay to join the Inria & Microsoft Lab at Inria Paris.
