Project Presentation

MAESTRO is an INRIA project-team (created on October 1st, 2003) whose permanent members are located in Sophia Antipolis (Sara Alouf, Konstantin Avrachenkov, Philippe Nain, Giovanni Neglia), in Avignon (Eitan Altman) and in Montpellier (Alain Jean-Marie).

The ambition of MAESTRO is to provide the community with methods and tools for the performance evaluation, optimization and control of networks. More precisely, the objectives of MAESTRO are:

• to develop mathematical and software tools for evaluating the performance, optimizing and controlling discrete-event systems, including networks and their applications;
• to evaluate the performance and to control communication networks (protocols, architectures, applications) and, primarily, IP networks.

These objectives essentially fall in the first scientific challenge of INRIA, which is "To master digital infrastructures by being capable of programming, computing, and communicating on the Internet and on heterogeneous networks."

Project-team MAESTRO is the successor of MISTRAL (1993-2003).
