Thomas Clausen

Diplômé de l'université d'Aalborg, au Danemark (M.Sc., PhD - civilingeniør, cand.polyt), et membre senior de l'IEEE, Thomas est, depuis 2004, membre du corps professoral de l'Ecole Polytechnique, la première université technique et scientifique de France, où il est titulaire de la chaire académique "Internet of Everything" dotée par Cisco.

À l'École Polytechnique, Thomas dirige le groupe de recherche sur les réseaux informatiques. Il a développé et coordonne le programme d'études en réseaux informatiques, et coordonne le programme de master en "Réseaux de communication avancés" (ACN). Il a publié plus de 80 publications universitaires évaluées par des pairs (qui ont fait l'objet de plus de 12 000 citations) et a rédigé et édité 24 normes IETF. Il a été consultant sur le développement des normes IEEE 802.11 et a contribué aux parties relatives au routage de la norme ITU-T G.9903 récemment ratifiée pour les réseaux G3-PLC - sur laquelle s'appuient, par exemple, les initiatives actuelles SmartGrid et ConnectedEnergy.

Xavier Rival | Website
Course taught in the program: "Protocol Safety Verification and Validation"    
A research director at INRIA, Xavier works on static analysis for the verification of semantic properties of programs. His main focus is on abstract interpretation and more specifically on symbolic abstractions, and static analysis of embedded, safety critical software.

Mark Townsley | Website
Course taught in the program: Protocol and Technology Success    
Mark Townsley is a Cisco Fellow currently focused on the challenges of IPv4 address exhaustion and IPv6 deployment. Mark has over 20 years experience as a software engineer, joining Cisco from IBM in 1997. Mark’s first task at Cisco was the implementation of L2TP in Cisco’s IOS, as well as the scaling of virtual interfaces in IOS to support the new challenges of large-scale dialup and broadband deployment. Mark has authored a number of IETF RFCs including the L2TP specification itself (RFC 2661), served as co-chair of the IETF L2TP Extensions Working Group, Technical Advisor to the IETF PWE3 Working Group, and two terms as IETF Internet Area Director and member of the IESG as well as IESG liaison to the Internet Architecture Board (IAB). As Internet Area Director, Mark was responsible for the standardization of a number of Internet protocols, including IPv6, DNS, MPLS VPNs, Pseudowires, DHCP, PPP, L2TP, and Mobile IP, among others. Mark earned his BS in Electrical Engineering from Auburn University and MS in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University. He also teaches part-time at École Polytechnique. When not traveling, Mark lives with his wife and family in Paris, France.
