TECHNICOLOR has recently opened a new Research Lab in Palo Alto. This
lab focuses on machine learning, privacy, and user knowledge. It is led
by Jean Bolot. I am based in Palo-Alto in 2011 to help build and
integrate the lab.
Research Interests
My research activities focus on content distribution, and more recently
user knowledge and recommendation.
Projects & Cooperation
NaDA,
or Nano Data Center is a content delivery paradigm where content is
stored on the home gateways, in such a way that it can be accessed
quickly and securely by customers. We expect NaDa to save up to 70%
capital investment to ISPs, and similar savings in energy. NaDa, thanks
to its "managed Peer-to-peer" communication infrastructure, will allow
a large range of new services to be deployed quickly and safely such as
P2P games, User generated Services, VoD, Catch-up TV, etc. NaDa is
funded by the EU FIRE program. You can see the NaDa clip on youtube.
C’MON, or collaborative monitoring, is an ambitious
measurement project funded by ANR, the French national research agency.
C’MON is trying to infer the performance of ISPs relying only on
information collected by Internet users. C’MON builds on
grenouille.com monitoring package and will enhance it with new
measurement and inference techniques. Even stronger: the project will
also try to detect when ISPs try to hide perfromance or availability
problems to their customers.

Bio
I got my PhD in Computer Science on January 30, 1991, in
Grenoble (FRANCE). During this period, I worked on high performance
implementations of Transport protocols. I am certainly one of the few
who has implemented OSI TP4 in OCCAM on a multi-Transputer platform
that I designed, without a debugging tool :-( I also took part to the
design of XTP, and of its hardware implementation, the Protocol Engine.
I joined the RODEO project at INRIA Sophia-Antipolis in October 1993 .
The activity of the RODEO project was focused on Internet multimedia
applications and protocols.
From October 1998 to April 2003, I worked with Sprint
Advanced Technology Labs. I was given the opportunity to build a new
research group which problematic was to understand how to make backbone
management easier and performance higher. We designed a unique
measurement infrastructure made of GPS synchronized packet traces,
routing events, SNMP data, and active probing. The knowledge extracted
from these data allowed us to design tools, models, and traffic
engineering mechanisms, most of them being used by Sprint.
Between April 2003 and Septembre 2005, I worked with INTEL
Research in Cambridge. I have launched three projects in the area of
network monitoring, wireless networking and opportunistic
communication. INTEL Research gave me a unique opportunity to broaden
my research scope and get some knowledge in new research areas.
I have joined Thomson in October 2005 to create and manage
the Paris Research Lab. In 2009, Thomson became TECHNICOLOR and I
became Chief Scientist. I am now in charge of the long term research
strategy for the company, as well as academic relationships, fellowship
program and Scientific Advisory Board.
I am an ACM fellow since 2006 for contributions to the
measurement and analysis of computer networks.
