Yessin NEGGAZ Research Professor and Head of the Master Program in "Networks and Cloud Infrastructure"

I obtained my PhD in Computer Science from the University of Bordeaux (France) in October 2016. I then held a Teaching and Research Associate position at INP ENSEIRB-MATMECA (teaching institution) and LaBRI (Bordeaux CS dept.), and at INSA Toulouse (national institute of applied sciences) and LAAS-CNRS (Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems). I am mainly interested in dynamic networks and distributed algorithms.
I currently hold a position as Research Professor and Head of the Master Program in “Networks and Cloud Infrastructure” at Efrei.

FIELDS OF INTEREST

I am currently working within the team Connected Objects team at the AllianSTIC lab on dynamic communication networks.

I am interested in Communication and distributed algorithms in dynamic networks. Dynamic networks consist of entities making contact over time with one another. A major challenge in dynamic networks is to predict dynamics patterns and decide whether the evolution of the topology satisfies requirements for the success of given algorithms. The types of dynamics resulting from these networks are varied in scale and nature. For instance, some of these networks remain connected at all times; others are always disconnected but still offer some kind of connectivity over time and space (temporal connectivity); others are recurrently connected, periodic,etc. All of these contexts can be represented as dynamic graph classes corresponding to necessary or sufficient conditions for given distributed problems or algorithms. Given a dynamic graph, a natural question to ask is to which of the classes this graph belongs. I mainly worked on the automation of dynamic graphs classification, proposing strategies for dynamic graph analysis, and developing frameworks and algorithms for testing relevant properties and computing parameters in dynamic graphs. I also attempt to understand what can still be done in a context where no property on the network is guaranteed and no assumption on the evolution of the network dynamics is made through the study of distributed problems.
