    Exceptionally, this session will be open to all, including engineers and researchers.  

     

    Talk 1

    Title:
    How to use Hop and HipHop technologies for the scene (INDES Team): The Massively Interactive Music track.

    Speaker:
    Bertrand Petit - INDES

    Abstract:
    In a concert the common way of performing music is largely asymmetric. Most of the time, we have the musicians on one side and the public on the other side. There are several cultural and technical reasons for that. Nevertheless, smartphones and tablets offer the possibility to bring new concepts of interactivity. We propose here to test a first experiment, developed on Hop and HipHop (INDES), for the control of music by the public. This experiment will also be included in the spectacle "Golem" the 9 December in the “Musée d’art Moderne” of Nice.

    Title:
    Towards harnessing the solar energy

    Speaker:
    Dimitra POLITAKI - NEO

    Abstract:

    In this work we develop a stochastic model for the solar power at the surface of the earth. We combine a deterministic model of the clear sky irradiance with a stochastic model for the so-called clear sky index to obtain a stochastic model for the actual irradiance. Our clear sky index model is a 4-state semi-Markov process where state durations and clear sky index values in each state have phase-type distributions. We use per-minute solar irradiance data to tune the model, hence we are able to capture small time scales fluctuations. We compare our model with the state of the art and present the results.

    Announcement 2:
    Presentation and role of the Comité de Suivi Doctoral (CSD).

    Speaker:

    Talk 2 

    Title:
    How to deliver video over the internet

    Speaker:
    Vitalii Poliakov - DIANA

    Abstract:
    Video delivery over the Internet has always been a challenging task for Internet Service Providers. They started to tackle this problem by simply adding capacity to their networks. It worked at first, but these times are long gone: amount of users interested in video streaming today is higher than ever; together with advancements in video-related technologies they create an unprecedented strain onto Service Providers' networks - and situation will only get worse in future. In the shed of this, research community is busy studying more clever ways to manage video streaming in the Internet, and in this talk I will present some of these advancements while explaining how does video streaming work in computer networks.
