Executive Committee

Chaired by the Project Leader, the Executive Committee is composed of the OneLab work package leaders, each of them holding both scientific excellence and strong experience in large collaborative research and development projects, as well as additional "permanent guests", partners whose key roles within the project make their contributions to the Executive Committee's deliberations invaluable.

Prof. Serge Fdida (UPMC), Project Leader
With a long history of involvement in European projects  (OneLab, WIP, ACCA, ANA, ENEXT), Prof. Fdida is the Co-Director of Euronetlab, a joint academic-industrial laboratory advancing research and development work on QoS routers, radio routers and security, and the co-founder of Qosmos, a company specialised in network monitoring.

Dr Thierry Parmentelat (INRIA), Work Package 1 leader, Technical Director
A senior Research Engineer at INRIA, his areas of interest include experimental test beds, networking, and programming languages. Prior to joining INRIA, he has held various positions within the software industry, has been CTO (Chief Technical Officer) at Centile, a VOIP company, and formerly he has designed and implemented critical systems for various industrial sectors, like nuclear energy and aerospace.

Dr Timur Friedman (UPMC), Work Packages 2, 3 and 4 leader, Scientific Director
Director of PlanetLab Europe and author of distinguished publications in network monitoring, Dr Friedman is a Maître de Conférences (lecturer) in computer networking at UPMC  and has both a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, and a MSc in Technology Management from the Stevens Institute of Technology. His Bachelor's degree is from Harvard College.

Dr Tanja Zseby (Fraunhofer), Work Package 5 leader
Previously involvded in the leadership of competence centres for Global Networking (GLONE), measurement technologies and network research (METEOR), and Network Research (NET), Dr Zseby's research interests are measurement methods and data analysis techniques for network management and network security, and autonomic networking concepts for self-management and self-protection in communication networks.

Prof. Leandros Tassiulas (CERTH), Work Package 6 leader
A National Expert in the 6th framework program of the European Union in the field Information Society Technologies, Prof. Tassiulas's research and teaching is in telecommunications and networking with emphasis on wireless, smart antennas, sensor networks, high-speed networks, and grid computing.

Dr Dirk Trossen (BT), Work Package 7 leader
With ten years of experience in network architectures, services and wireless technology, Dr Trossen is Chief Researcher in BT's Network Research Centre. His main contributions are in the area of inter-domain networking, focusing on seamless handovers and physical network overlays.   He is one of the main authors of the EIFFEL whitepaper on future internet efforts within the European Union.

Dr Franck Legendre (ETH Zurich), Work Package 8 leader
Trained at UPMC and INT Evry, where he received a PhD in computer secience and an MSc in computer networks, and an MSc in Telecommunications respectively, Dr Legendre's research interests are in the area of content dissemination, mobility measurements, and mobility modeling.

Dr Walid Dabbous (INRIA), Work Package 9 leader
A senior researcher at INRIA and professor at the École Polytechnique, leader of Planète team since 1996, Dr Dabbous's research interests include high performance communication protocols, congestion control, large-scale reliable multicast protocols for data dissemination, flexible protocol architecture, buffer management mechanisms in routers, and validating networking protocols and architecture with simulations and experimental test beds.

Frédéric Vaissade (UPMC), Work Package 0 leader, Project Manager
International Partnerships Manager of the UPMC-NPA research group, Mr Vaissade  started his career as Business Manager at the French Agency for Innovation, then worked as European Project Manager in a consulting company where he successfully managed a large FP6 Integrated Project (Co-Extra), supported researchers in setting up new projects, and trained new European Project Managers.
