Thierry Turletti

 I don't have a gift for arts, but if you are looking for an Artist, look at my father's Oil Paintings.

I'm sure you already know my mascot Ounga :-)

I am a full time researcher in the Planète group at INRIA Sophia Antipolis.

Current Research Interests

• Future Internet Architecture and Protocols
• Networking Experimental Platforms and Simulators
• Experimental Methodology for Networking Protocols
• Mechanisms to Support Episodic Connectivity
• Securing Internet Coordinate Systems
• Cross-Layer Mechanisms for Multimedia Transmission
• Efficient MAC Protocols

Current Projects

•  Currently, I am involved in the following projects:

• DIVINE RNRT project on video transmission over various wireless heterogeneous devices,
• ONELAB IST FP6 project concerning the implementation of an open platform across heterogeneous environments (based on PlanetLab),
• YANS project aiming to improve simulation of wireless networks (towards the next generation of NS-2), see NS-3
• and the WisMon platform on improving the tools and the methodology to run wireless experimentations.

PhD students

• Ongoing
• Diego Dujovne, (co-supervised with Walid Dabbous) working on smart probes for wireless networks.
• Mohamed Ali Kaafar's PhD thesis (co-supervised with Walid Dabbous), working on Application layer multicast for group communication.

• Past
• Emmanuel Lety (now at UDCAST) who worked on SCORE, a scalable communication architecture for Large-Scale Virtual Environments (LSVE).
• Vijay Arya (now at CUBIN ), who worked on multicast-based inference of network tomography and multicast traffic engineering for overlay networks.
• Hossein Manshaei  (now at EPFL), who worked on adaptive and cross-layer transmission protocols for WLANs.

.
• I have been a postdoctoral associate in the Telemedia, Networks and Systems Group at the MIT Laboratory for Computer Science between September'95 and September'96. In this group, I have been working in the SpectrumWare project headed by David Tennenhouse. I have designed and implemented in software part of a GSM base station which has been integrated into the VuSystem.
• I have done my PhD studies in the High-Speed Networking Research Group RODEO at INRIA Sophia Antipolis. My previous research (done in particular with Jean Bolot and Christian Huitema) were focused on designing, implementing, and evaluating multimedia applications over the Internet. Specifically, I have developed IVS, one of the first videoconferencing application for the Internet. This software videoconferencing system allows multicast delivery of audio and video over the Internet. I also developed specific error control and rate control mechanisms for transmission of video streams. These mechanisms regulate the output rate of the codecs based on feedback information about the network state. They have been designed specifically to work in a multicast environment.
