[DMANET] Post-doc position at Orange Labs (Issy-les-Mx, France)

The Traffic Resources Modeling department at Orange Labs Networks
invites applications for a post-doc fellowship in the context of an
internal research project devoted to optimization tools for sustainable
development.

A Content Delivery Network (CDN) consists of a set of servers and caches
that are strategically deployed in the network so as to deliver high
quality contents (e.g. video) to end-users. Some studies are conducted
in the department, and in the literature, to optimize the placement of
caches in the network, while improving the quality of service of content
delivery. In this context, the purpose of the fellowship is to analyze
and to model optimization problems related to the minimization of the
energy consumption of such networks, which is a recent, and increasing,
trend in network design.

The candidate will investigate approaches where real traffic data are
used (within simulation tools or analytical models), either as input
parameters in the optimization models, or as scenarios to validate the
output solutions. The combined approaches should allow tackling
realistic situation and deriving operational solutions.

The research will be conducted within the Traffic Resources Modeling
(TRM) department in close collaboration with several optimization and
performance evaluation experts.

The start date is: asap

Applications should consist of a resume, a short research statement and
up to 3 contacts persons that could act as references. The applications
should be sent to: eric.gourdin at orange.com
Profile: the candidate should have defended her/his Ph.D. within less
than one year.
