#ACESinFrance Paris 2015 (Villetaneuse Campus) |
This initiative is intended to foster a science and technology program lead and hosted by higher education institutions in France and their industrial partners. The program will showcase to US students from the University of Maryland, some world-renowned French industrial sites and research centers working on cyber-security as well as practical aspects of security. The program will also nurture networking between US students and French ones. Both populations will benefit from exchanges on campus life (including student and alumni associations), entrepreneurship, internship search and job-hunting.
The first week of the programme is organized by the Université de Paris 13, Campus de Villetaneuse.
This opportunity should be considered as the beginning of the dialogue between the host institutions and the University of Maryland. The level of the classes will be adapted on a topic-by-topic basis to the level of students; it may go from introductory to PhD and advanced research level. In French, we would say that the program is going to be “A LA CARTE !”
France has a long history of dealing with security on civilian and military questions. The French approach is slightly different from the American one. Some knowledge on these differences will be beneficial to anybody aiming for a career with an international component.

Title: DoS in wireless network and cloud an Issue or Fatality?
Wireless and mobile networks have many advantages as easy
deployment, user mobility and provides network access to users
regardless to their locations. The most critical problems that arise
in these networks are on the resource allocations as the bandwidth is
limited, the propagation (multi-path, fading, distortion) and security
since communications are transmitted over radio waves. I parallel new
architectures/technologies have been emerged as cloud computing. In
this talk I will present issues about availability problem in those
networks and architecture, and I will present some works we have done
to improve security in those systems.
