  • Thomas Watteyne co-chaired the IOT2SUSTAIN invited workshop (https://tinyurl.com/iot2sustain), which brought together 22 researcher (half UCL, half Inria) to brainstorm on the state of IoT research today, and identify research directions. This event was organized on the UCL campus in London, 6-7 July 2017.

  • Thomas Watteyne co-chaired the IETF98 (Chicago, remotely), IETF99 (Prague) and IETF100 (Singapore) 6TiSCH Working group meetings.

  • Pascale Minet was general co-chair with Leila Saidane from ENSI (Tunisia) of the PEMWN 2017 conference, the 6th IFIP international conference on Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Wired and Wireless Networks, technically co-sponsored by IFIP WG6.2 and IEEE ComSoc (see https://sites.google.com/site/pemwn2017/). This conference was held at CNAM in Paris, the 28th, 29th and 30th of November 2017. It was sponsored by Inria, CNAM and ENSI. The organization co-chairs were Samia Bouzefrane and Selma Boumerdassi. Three tutorials were given:
