Lydie Fontaine

Project Assistant
email: Lydie[dot]Fontaine[at]inria[dot]fr

Lydie came to Hipercom after a long career in the tech-industry, where she were working for some of the biggest companies in the IT sector. She thus brought to Hipercom a tremendous experience in how to manage and run a team, and is the person making sure that everything practically and administratively runs smoothly.

In general, Lydie will be the first point of contact for all inqueries to Hipercom@LIX, and will be the person keeping track of all activities within Hipercom@LIX.

Song-Yean Cho

email: songyean[dot]cho[at]gmail[dot]com

A graduate of Korea University, South Korea, Song Yean spent a number of years working as an engineer at Samsung Electronics. There she, among other things, spent her time developing and standardizing IEEE 802.11s.

In 2005 she started her Ph.D studies at Ecole Polytechnique, France's premiere technical university.

Her research focus is mesh networks and network coding theory.

Dr. Cho defended her PhD thesis on September 22, 2008. She has since returned to Samsung in Seoul.

Georgios joined Hipercom@LIX for his PhD entitled "Analytical Models and Performance Evaluation in Massive Mobile Ad Hoc Networks" -- which he successfully defended in 2006.

He is currently a research fellow at Macquarie University, Australia

T. Clausen and U. Herberg at IEEE-NSS 2010 in Melbourne, Australia, September 1-3
They will present the paper "Router and Link Admittance Control in the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2 (OLSRv2))". Part of the OLSRv2 Security series of publications documenting efforts on providing secure, OLSRv2-based networks, this paper studies the use and performance of "fine-grained signatures".

Here's some more OLSRv2-security-related information on the Hipercom@LIX website:

T. Clausen and U. Herberg at IEEE-iTAP 2010 in Wuhan, China, August 21-23
They will present the paper "Digital Signatures for Admittance Control in the Optimized Link State Routing Protocol version 2". Part of the OLSRv2 Security series of publications documenting efforts on providing secure, OLSRv2-based networks, this paper emphasizes the use and performance of ECC for admittance control in OLSRv2-based networks.

IETF in Maastricht
Before and during the IETF in Maastricht, July 25-30 2010 a new slew of I-Ds happened, from the quills of Hipercom@LIX:

NHDP was updated after AD review, and IESG evaluation started - hopefully, this is the second-to-last document in the core OLSRv2 protocol suite.

The OLSRv2 mib document also was updated as was the NHDP mib document and the the PacketBB-SEC document -- the latter of which now is a working group document (yay!).

A new I-D, YAAP was published, detailing one current ad hoc address autoconfiguration protocol.

In the Wireless Sensor Networking area, two new documents were published: a p2p (sensor-to-sensor) extension to RPL and a performance study hereof.
