  • Iskander Banaouas, "Analyse et Optimisation des Protoocles d'Accès dans les Réseaux sans fil Ad Hoc", University Pierre et Marie Curie - Paris VI, February 2012, with Paul Muhlethaler as adviser.

  • Ana Cristina B. Kochem Vendramin, "Cultural GrAnt: um protocolo de roteamento baseado em inteligência coletiva para redes tolerantes a atrasos", Federal Technological University of Paraná, June 2012, with Anelise Munaretto Fonseca, Myriam R. De B. da Silva Delgado and Aline Carneiro Viana as co-advisers.

• PEMWN 2012, Performance Evaluation and Modeling of Wireless Networks is the workshop held in conjunction with the NoF 2012 conference (Network of the Future) : The HIPERCOM team actively contributed to the technical and practical organization of the PEMWN 2012 workshop held in Tunis in November 2012. Pascale Minet and Leila Saidane from ENSI (Tunis) were co-general chairs. Cedric Adjih and Paul Muhlethaler were members of the program committee. Christine Anocq was in charge of the registration.

• Demonstration of OCARI: The HIPERCOM team and more precisely, Cedric Adjih, Ichrak Amdouni, Ines Khoufi, Pascale Minet and Ridha Soua made a presentation and a demonstration of the routing protocol and the coloring algorithm of OCARI, an energy-efficient wireless sensor network supporting determinism, at:

  • the EPRI international workshop organized by EDF, Chatou, April 2012,

  • the ICSSEA international conference in Paris, October 2012.

• Vulgarisation of computer science: The HIPERCOM team and more precisely, Cedric Adjih, Ichrak Amdouni, Ines Khoufi and Ridha Soua explained the principles of communication and routing in wireless sensor networks to undergraduates and students.
