Inria International Labs

• LIRIMA (Laboratoire international de recherche en informatique et mathématiques appliquées): MADYNES is associated with the MASECNESS research team of the Yaoundé University in Cameroun. The collaboration is about wireless sensors networks and was the support for funding student mobility (3 months this year). The LIRIMA has also supported the purchase of thirty sensors used in our common work.

Declared Inria International Partners

• JFLI (CNRS UMI 3527) in Tokyo: Thomas Silverston is currently in this lab (délégation) in Tokyo. The main goal of his research work is to anticipate the evolution of the Internet and to focus on the design of new architectures for the Future Internet. His research program at the JFLI (CNRS, UMI 3527) focus on the use of SDN to allow deploying new network architecture and functionalities in virtualized environment (e.g., ICN) as well as providing a management plane to help network operators monitoring novel network architecture for the Future Internet.

• University of Luxembourg: we have several active cooperations with the university of Luxembourg around network security, Information Centric Networking and Software Defined Networking. Especially, we have one ongoing Ph.D. candidate (Samuel Marchal) and Jérôme François is a Fellow at SnT (Interdisciplinary Center for Security, Reliability and Trust) to empower these collaborations. Besides S. Marchal, we are working particularly with Radu State, Thomas Engel and Salvatore Signorello.
