• This project aims at producing outstanding contributionis to the foundations of the theory of networks, in game theory, team theory, optimization and analysis. Three areas in networkiing will be used to apply these: (i) economy of networks and network neutrality, (2) schedulling in wireless networks, and (3) distributed optimization issues in ad-hoc networks.

Inria International Partners

St. Petersburg State Univ.

Participant : Konstantin Avrachenkov.

Maestro has a continuing collaboration with St. Petersburg State Univ.. St. Petersburg State Univ. is a partner in Inria Internship International programme. In particular, Maestro hosts every year several intern students from St. Petersburg State Univ.. The collaboration with L. Petrosyan and A. Garnaev is on the application of game theory to resource allocation in networks. The collaboration with V. Dobrynin is on data clustering.

Participation In International Programs

STIC Tunisie

Participants : Eitan Altman, Majed Haddad.

E. Altman and M. Haddad have been collaborating with I. Mabrouki (Institut Supérieur d'Informatique et des Techniques de Communication, Tunisia) on intelligent jamming in wireless networks, i.e. jamming in which the jammer is aware of the protocol used by the network.

Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research (IFCPAR)

Participants : Eitan Altman, Konstantin Avrachenkov, Manjesh Kumar Hanawal.

Within project 4000-IT on “Emerging Strategies for Wireless Communication Networks,” K. Avrachenkov, E. Altman and M. K. Hanawal (also with Univ. Avignon/LIA) have been collaborating with V. Borkar and V. Kavitha (IIT Mumbai, India), A. Kumar, R. Sundaresan and C. Singh (Indian Institute of Science, India) on evaluating and optimization issues in wireless networks. They also worked on network neutrality issues.
