• Multistage Interconnection Networks [show] [hide]
  • These networks are used for sorting (see Knuth) or computing binary functions, in multiprocessor architectures or routers. I have started my research by the topological analysis of their graphs and by studying the resequencing problem they cause.

• Load Balancing, Optimal Routing and Resequencing [show] [hide]
  • When several routes are available in a communication network, it is important to know the optimal one. The problem is made more complicated in the presence of resequencing: the necessity to put packets back in order. I have studied various aspects of this question.

• Synchronized Networks [show] [hide]
  • Synchronization in discrete event systems occurs when several resources are required at the same time for some operation to occur. The modeling of this phenomenon leads to the notions of "fork", "join", "blocking" in queueing systems. Task Graphs, Petri Nets and the "(max,+) algebra" are formalisms adapted to some forms of synchronization.

• Real-Time Systems [show] [hide]
  • Initially motivated by problems posed by Thomson and EDF, we have studied scheduling and performance problems related to real-time networks. The techniques we have used with Sophie Lefebvre-Barbaroux and Claudine Chaouiya-Chantegrel are akin to what is now known as Network Calculus. With Jörn Migge, we have developed a formal description of scheduling disciplines, together with a systematic bounding methodology.

• Conjectural Variations [show] [hide]
  • Conjectural Variations refers to a somewhat controversial type of rationality of economic agents. In the absence of complete information, it is assumed that agents form the conjecture that other agents will react to their actions. This conjecture is incorporated in the private optimization program of each agents, leading to a strategy that is different from the Nash Equilibrium. In some situations, the outcome of a conjectural variations game actually dominates the Nash Equilibrium. It also happens that a learning process based on conjectures may lead to a Pareto optimum. A parent concept is that of Incentive Equilibria, with the difference that incentives are exogenously imposed, whereas conjectures are endogenous.

• Economic Behavior and Learning [show] [hide]
  • When economical agents lack information and/or rationality, they have to rely on the observation of the opponent, and adapt their behavior accordingly. We have shown that in some cases, this may lead to Pareto outcomes.

• Conjectural Variations [show] [hide]
  • Conjectural Variations refers to a somewhat controversial type of rationality of economic agents. In the absence of complete information, it is assumed that agents form the conjecture that other agents will react to their actions. This conjecture is incorporated in the private optimization program of each agents, leading to a strategy that is different from the Nash Equilibrium. In some situations, the outcome of a conjectural variations game actually dominates the Nash Equilibrium. It also happens that a learning process based on conjectures may lead to a Pareto optimum. A parent concept is that of Incentive Equilibria, with the difference that incentives are exogenously imposed, whereas conjectures are endogenous.
