"Always code as if the guy who ends up maintaining your code will be a violent psychopath who knows where you live" (John Woods 1991)
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

I'll be talking in the LaBRI main room for the lab's SEMIDOC about Service Chain Modelling for vCDN, a submitted papers that aims at instantiating a virtual Content Delivery Network (vCDN) in the operator network.

For the Mobile World Congress 2016, we were on Italtel's Booth showcasing the integration of the virtual Home Gateway (VHG) and virtual Content Delivery Network (vCDN).
By integrating with Italtel VTU (virtual Transcoding Unit) we can benefit from hardware acceleration in the cloud to transcode the videos during ingestion phase on the vCDN.
I contributed to the T-NOVA deliverable "D5.31 - Network Function Implementation and testing".
It describes the details of the implementation of the VNFs developed in the T-NOVA Project. On top of showing how the Virtual Network Function Descriptor (VNFD) is used to describe the functions and install them in the platform, a lot of interesting insights are published on the internals of the VNFs.
I'm the editor of T-NOVA's Network Function Store Deliverable.
It describes the technical details as well as the API used by the T-NOVA project to store Network Functions before deploying them to the virtual Infrastructure.
Here's the link to the workshop (fr) we gave at JDEV2015 in Bordeaux.
We also created a work of art (fr) for the poster session of the infrastructure, interoperability, cloud, devops, Software factory and Virtualization
