Coordination Actions

The action maintains three Coordination Actions:

CA1: Cross-fertilization

Chair: Dr. Pierre Fraigniaud

This CA will be specifically in charge of the integration of the four WGs so that researchers in these different fields can share their common expertise, including algorithmic tools and mathematical techniques. New advances in any of the WGs will be communicated to the others WGs in order to avoid duplication of research and efforts. Exchanges between the WGs will be promoted, typically by financially supporting inter-WG visits. CA1 will be in charge of selecting the main results of every WG, to be presented at the plenary meetings of DYNAMO.

CA2: Large Networks for Benchmarks/Test-Beds

In each of the WGs, and even within a same WG, partners of the DYNAMO Action use their own telecommunication graphs and networks examples (real-world or artificially build-up) when they reach the stage of confronting to the real-world the algorithms they design. The objective of this CA is to gather all these networks files, collect additional files from the DYNAMO partners industrial contacts and from existing sources on the Internet, and to design a coherent, organized, standardized and exhaustive repository of large communication networks data files that can be used as a source for comparative studies. This repository of real-world graphs and networks will be maintained and made accessible on the Internet to all DYNAMO partners and to the research community. It will be used as a source of benchmarks for performance evaluation of algorithms for telecommunication graphs and networks.

CA3: Convergence with other Aspects of Dynamic Networks

Chair: Dr. Clemence Magnien from Sept. 2006

All advances in the study of dynamic networks demonstrate that networks arising from different fields (communication networks, sociological relationships, virus propagation, economical exchanges, etc.) share common properties, often summarized as complex networks. Although DYNAMO mostly aims at investigating dynamic communication networks, we also foresee cooperation with scientists from other domains such as sociology, medicine, physics, or economy. We thus set up a CA specifically dedicated to promote the convergence of the DYNAMO community with all communities dealing with complex networks.
