Editorial Activities

Since October 2001, Jens Gustedt is Editor-in-Chief of the journal Discrete Mathematics and Theoretical Computer Science (DMTCS ). DMTCS is a journal that is published electronically by an independent association under French law. Based on a contract with INRIA , its main web-server is located at the LORIA . DMTCS has acquired a good visibility within the concerned domains of Computer Science and Mathematics, which is confirmed by a relatively high impact factor. This year, DMTCS published a special issue and proceedings volumes of noticeable events in the domain.

In 2011, Jens Gustedt has served as program committee member of the 20th Euromicro International Conference on Parallel, Distributed and network-based Processing PDP 2012 , of the 3rd Workshop on Complex Networks CompleNet 2012 and of 20th RenPar (RenPar 2011 ).

Lucas Nussbaum was member of the organization and program committee for the Grid'5000 Spring School 2011 .

Martin Quinson has served as program committee member of the 6th International Workshop on Modeling, Simulation, and Optimization of Peer-to-peer environments (MSOP2P 2012, associated to Euromicro PDP 2012).

Stéphane Genaud was member of the program committee of the 13th IEEE International Conference on High Performance Computing and Communications , HPCC 2011.

Stéphane Vialle was member of the twentieth RenPar conference committee ("Rencontres francophones du Parallélisme") (RenPar 2011 ). Stéphane Vialle was also member of the program committee of the international conference on Architecture of Computing Systems (ARCS 2011 and ARCS 2012 ).

Invitations and participations to scientific events

Stéphane Vialle was invited to participate to a panel about Graphical Processing Units (GPUs): Opportunities and Challenges at the 2011 International Conference on High Performance Computing & Simulation (HPCS'2011), Istanbul, Turkey.

Martin Quinson was invited to give a presentation entitled H*C: Performance Everywhere (or, computing getting high) at the workshop “Challenges & Pitfalls of Performance Assurance”, associated to CECMG'11 in München, Germany in March 2011.

Lucas Nussbaum was invited to give the following talks:

  • Towards better experiments on Grid'5000 at Journée Grid'5000 aux Rencontres francophones du Parallélisme (RenPar'20), Saint-Malo

  • Grid'5000, a scientific instrument for experiment-driven research on parallel, large-scale and distributed systems at Support for Experimental Computer Science Workshop at SC 11, Seattle

  • Towards better tools for experiments on distributed systems at Support for Experimental Computer Science Workshop at SC 11, Seattle

Constantinos Makassikis was invited to give a presentation entitled A Skeletal-Based Approach for the Development of Fault-Tolerant SPMD Applications during the “Seconde journée du groupe de travail LaMHA (Langages et Modl̀es de Haut-niveau pour la programmation parallèle, distribuée, de grilles de calcul et Applications)”, December 2010.

Scientific Mediation

Martin Quinson acts as a member to the INRIA-Nancy Grand Est committee for Scientific Mediation. He also participated alongside with Thomas Jost and Sébastien Badia to the LORIA and INRIA-Nancy Grand Est stand at the “Fête de la Science”, proposing several activities to demonstrate the algorithmic thinking at the core of the Computer Science without requiring any computer or even electric devices.
