Presentation of MAESTRO

Maestro is an Inria project-team whose members are located in Sophia Antipolis (S. Alouf, K. Avrachenkov, P. Nain, G. Neglia), at Lia (Lab. of Informatics of Avignon) in Avignon (E. Altman) and at Lirmm (Lab. Informatics, Robotics and Microelectronics of Montpellier) in Montpellier (A. Jean-Marie). Maestro is concerned with the modeling, performance evaluation, optimization and control of stochastic Discrete-Event Dynamical Systems (Deds ), with a particular emphasis on networks and their applications. The scientific contributions are both theoretical, with the development of new modeling formalisms, and applied, with: a) the solution of specific problems arising in one of our application domains, b) the development of software tools for the performance evaluation of Deds , and c) the patenting of new methods jointly with industrial partners.
