Monday September 22nd, 2014: Back-Official class promotion 2016, for 117 students from various countries. A traditional "welcome breakfast" will await them on next Monday. We wish them a successful school year!
Friday September 19th, will be held the 22nd ceremony of graduation of EURECOM's engineers (promotion 2014), under the sponsorship of the American society Symantec. Like every year, the ceremony will be held in Amphi Marconi with students, parents, teachers and EURECOM's partners.
After the publication of the article "A Large-Scale Analysis of the Security of Embedded Firmware" presented at the Usenix conference (23rd USENIX Security Symposium, August 20-22, 2014, San Diego, USA) by Andrei Costin, Jonas Zaddach, Aurélien Francillon and Davide Balzarotti, the international press has echoed the study conducted on a large scale (26,000 analysis software packages) on security of embedded firmware. This one reveals that the same flaw can affect multiple embedded systems.

Professor Christian Bonnet, has received the "Best Paper Award" from IARIA for his article “The connectivity control framework: Enabling session continuity in multi-domain environments” written with Michelle Wetterwald, during MOBILITY 2014, 4th International Conference on Mobile Services, Resources, and Users, July 20-24, 2014, Paris, France.
Flourishing multimedia content analysis technologies have pushed multimedia information retrieval and various multidisciplinary studies towards realistic paradigms that significantly impact our daily life. For example, Google Image Search allows users to retrieve web images relevant to provided keywords or uploaded images. Google Goggles APP enables object and scene recognition on smart phones (in limited domains). The influence of multimedia content analysis on our life in both the real world and the cyberspace is not only apparent but also deep. However, related researches are impeded by the notorious semantic gap problem, i.e., the gap between human perception/cognition and computational features derived from signals. Recently, in addition to machine learning, pattern recognition, and computer vision techniques that have been widely employed in analyzing large-scale multimedia content, many researchers turn to seek out human knowledge by analyzing social media with/without geographical information, capturing multi-view videos or RGB videos with depth information, or getting insights from crowdsourcing mechanisms.
Campus France and MOST: Ministry of Science and Technology of Taiwan are funding the organisation of the France - Taiwan Multimedia Workshop which will take place in EURECOM, Sophia-Antipolis, France.
We are welcoming interested researchers, academics and industrial to attend the talks given at the workshop. Registration is free but as space is limited, please register in order to be allowed to enter the amphitheater. Register early to avoid disappointment.
According to a study published by Thomson Reuters in June 2014 (http://highlycited.com), David GESBERT, Professor and Head of EURECOM Mobile Communications Department, is one of 82 talented French researchers most cited in the world. The list was drawn from the analysis of most cited articles after publication between 2002 and 2012 in journals indexed in the database "Web of Science core collection." Congratulations!

Congratulations to Usman NIAZ (supervised by Raphael Troncy) Miltiades FILIPPOU (supervised by Ernst Biersack) Mario PASTORELLI (supervised by Pietro MICHIARDI )who have successfully defended their thesis on July.
Their thesis topics were respectively:
EURECOM, the R&D Division of BMW, and the Technical University of Munich, with the support of the French-Bavarian University Cooperation Center are organizing a summer school for doctoral students and young researchers on "Autonomous Vehicles and the Internet of Things".
It will take place in Lake Tegernsee, South of Munich, between July 27th and August 1st.
The goal is to create a forum for key industrial and academic experts in connected mobility to exchange and work on the main social, economic and technological challenges impacting our lives and the industry.
This year, the summer school on Game Theory, which traditionally takes place in Campione d'Italia (Italy), will be dedicated to applications of game theory to telecommunications.
It will be held from Sunday the 7th to Friday the 12th of September 2014.
The school is oriented to PhD students, post-doc, and young scholars and addresses a large range of applications of Game Theory to Telecommunications.
