The Networks team contributes to the algorithmic and protocol design of communication architectures: Edge Networks: intelligent objects need to be able to measure and interact with the physical world while running on battery power for a long period (month/year). Efficient methods for transmitting data and putting the radio communication unit to sleep are therefore essential. Core networks: data generated at the ends of the Internet must be routed via various core networks, using intelligent and now programmable routers. In this context, we are interested in the study of these topological structures and their configurations (via measurements and modeling), algorithms to promote path dynamics, and routing policies to ensure the reliability and quality of communications. Distributed algorithms: to collectively solve a task, independent entities (routers, connected objects) must interact under a set of constraints in an imperfect environment. We are interested in the theoretical resolution of these problems, providing proofs of computability, convergence and asymptotic bounds.
