We will cover the basics of docstrings and see how to generate documentation with Sphinx. Estimated duration: 30min.

Information-Centric Networking (ICN) embraces a family of network architectures re-thinking Internet communication principles around named-data. After several years of research and the emergence of a [...]

This thesis is motivated by the electric power system transformations due to more renewable integration and changing consumption patterns. Energy storage is one possible solution [...]

We’ll cover basics of Python and design aspects. Do not hesitate to come even if you did not attend the first and second sessions. Download [...]

The Laplacian of a graph is a key object in the theory of graphs and can be viewed as the generator of a continuous time [...]

The false discovery rate (FDR) is a statistical approach used in multiple hypothesis testing to correct for multiple comparisons. It is typically used in high-throughput [...]

We’ll cover basics of Python and design aspects. Do not hesitate to come even if you did not attend the first session. Download the notebook.

We consider wireless communication networks where service rates of nodes depend the loads of their neighbours. We demonstrate that these rates are utility-maximising in a [...]

We present exact formulas for the number of digraphs in various interesting families: acyclic digraphs (dags), strongly connected digraphs, digraphs with constraints on their strongly [...]

In this presentation, we will analyse from the game theoretical point of view Byzantine Fault Tolerant (BFT) blockchains when processes exhibit rational or Byzantine behaviour. [...]

When in need of benchmarking an algorithm, running said algorithm on a given - likely wide - range of parameters is usually required. In order [...]

Authors:  Mahdieh Ahmadi, James Roberts, Emilio Leonardi, and Ali Movaghar While the cost of the access network could be considerably reduced by the use of [...]

After a brief presentation of Reinforcement Learning in general, I give the theoretical bases for a particular reinforcement algorithm, Q-Learning, and its neural-network-powered version, Deep [...]

Business and Mission critical communication (MCC) is a major communication paradigm that is used by public agencies, e.g., during emergency situations, or critical infrastructure companies, [...]

For most daily research tasks, a Jupyter Notebook is more than enough to do anything one wants. Yet, there are situations where it can be [...]

This presentation will cover different models for the dimensioning of OFDMA air interfaces. In a first part, models that rely on classical stochastic geometry results [...]

We'll explore recent Deep Learning models for Natural Language Processing based on the ("post-Recurrent Neural Network") Transformer architecture described in Attention Is All You Need (Vaswani et al., 2017). We'll understand [...]

We'll cover basics of Python and design aspects. Download the notebook.

When I was student, I was interested in quantum optics: my first paper was about quantum non-linear optics. Quantum computing has become a new hype [...]

In Graph Theory, a reconfiguration problem is as following: given two solutions of a problem and a transition definition, is there a path of acceptable [...]

The growing demand for cloud-based services encourages operators to maximize resource efficiency within computer clusters. This motivates the development of new technologies that make resource [...]

We are well into the era of multi-core architectures and as the applications demands are still growing, we soon expect to see the first many-cores [...]

Unimodal functions arise whenever the expected value f(x) of the metric to be optimized has a single peak as a function of the available control [...]

When I was student, I was interested in quantum optics: my first paper was about quantum non-linear optics. Quantum computing has become a new hype [...]

Many solutions to fault tolerant distributed system problems, such as state machine replication, safe broadcast or agreement, rely on reliable communication primitives which guarantee the [...]

Solving most inference tasks, such as denoising and linear regression, relies on exploiting the structure of the desired class of signals (e.g. images).  Traditionally, such structures [...]

In visible light communications (VLC), LEDs are used for not only illumination but also communications. LEDs can further be used to support indoor positioning with [...]

Shannon's information theory has served as a bedrock for advances in communication and storage systems over the past five decades. However, this theory does not [...]

The Mirai botnet, composed primarily of embedded and IoT devices, took the Internet by storm in late 2016 when it overwhelmed and censored high-profile websites [...]

Conventional thinking treats the wireless channel as a given constraint, so wireless networks to date center on the problem optimizing the communication endpoints. We instead [...]

Definition and motivation.Standard algorithms.A new approach.

Modern wireless networks should be able to accommodate a high density of users. But serving more users usually generates higher interference which leads to more [...]

This talk describes a new perspective on cloud/fog computing, by distributing computation in order to handle the large volume of data with growing computational demand. [...]

The problem of identifying an unknown regular set from examples of its members and nonmembers is addressed. It is assumed that the regular set is [...]
