New paper accepted in IEEE Communications Magazine
One of the last papers of my PhD was accepted in IEEE Communications magazine, to be published in September 2017.
I'm an Associate Professor in Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, in the CRI lab. I'm with the French Computer Science Learned Society (Société Informatique de France) and an IEEE member.
Before, was a PostDoc in Distributed Systems in the ERODS team of CNRS/LIG lab in Grenoble in France. I received my PhD in Computer Science from Bordeaux University in November 2017, where I was a graduate teaching assistant at ENSEIRB Bordeaux INP. I was a visiting student at the University College of Dublin, Ireland, in the Performance Engineering Lab.
I worked as a R&D Engineer, Team and Project manager for 10 years in the software industry, owning a M.Eng (Math) form INSA Rouen, France and a M.Econ from Aix-Marseille University/EHESS.
My research interests are Network Softwarization (SDN, NFV), blockchain, Intent-based Networking, Content delivery and Techno-Economics.
I'm always looking for opportunities to contribute to a project, volunteer for a good cause or collaborate to a scientific article. Feel free to contact me: nicolas.herbaut ([at}) google mail

One of the last papers of my PhD was accepted in IEEE Communications magazine, to be published in September 2017.
I'll be presenting an abstract of our current research on using blockchain / smart contracts technology for a multimedia content delivery usecase in Paris (3 April).
I'll be coached to do a "pitch" presentation in front of researchers, Industrials and blockchain enthousiasts.
Our joint work "Dynamic deployment and optimization of virtual Content Delivery Networks" was accepted for publication in the IEEE Multimedia special issue on "Advancing Multimedia Distribution With SDN/NFDV-based systems"
I'll be presenting a joint work "Service Chain Modeling and Embedding for NFV-based Content Delivery" at ICC 2017 in Paris in May
Bordeaux University organizes a workshop that gather ICT researchers and legal experts to create task forces focusing on specific ICT isssues.
I submitted a proposal regarding the juridical implication of virtual CDN, as this question comes back very often when I present my work. If it gets accepted, I'll get to work with law experts on the issue, and hopefully, we could publish on this subject.
In this third post, I continue working on the same article as before, and even before. This time, I read an article [1] that relates to Economy and Networks and that study how future architecture should be designed to produce competition among service providers. This paper also advocates that each competition loci should not be considered in silo, but taking into account the effect they have on other loci instead. [1] Chuang, John. "Loci of competition for future internet architectures." IEEE Communications Magazine 49.7 (2011): 38-43.
Following my previous blog post about the birth of an article, here's an update on how things are going with this submission, which deadline is Feb 1st. As this article must respond to a particular call for paper, I must produce a mini state of the art on several scientific topics out of my original areas of expertise.
Blockchain is one of them.
In this serie of posts, I'll document how we submitted and article to a scientific magazine, from the inception to the submission. I think It could help another fresh PhD student or people that are not involved in writting scientific articles how we did. Of course, it is not supposed to be a blue print on writting an article, it's just a simple testimony to give perspective on what went right and what went wrong in the process.
