MASCOTTE Research team

Algorithms, simulation, combinatorics and optimization for telecommunications

Team presentation

MASCOTTE's main objective is to develop algorithmic methods and tools, with particular emphasis on the design of telecommunication networks. This involves high level research in the fields of simulation, algorithms, and discrete mathematics.

Research themes

  • Algorithms, discrete mathematics and combinatorial optimization.
  • Communication algorithms.
  • Networks design (optical WDM, MPLS, on-board, radio WiFi and WiMax and satellites networks).
  • Simulation of complex systems.
  • Resources sharing and protection.
  • Graph Theory.
