معرفی
Sara Alouf is an Associate Researcher and Vice-Head of the Network Engineering and Operations (NEO) project team at Inria Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée. She holds a Habilitation from Université Côte d'Azur (2017), a Ph.D. in Network Sciences (2002), and an M.Sc. (1999) from Université Nice Sophia Antipolis, along with an Electrical and Electronics Engineering Degree from Lebanese University (1998). Her research focuses on stochastic modeling, caching systems, and performance evaluation of communication networks, with past work in green networking, peer-to-peer storage, and delay-tolerant networks.
- Education:
- Habilitation (2017) - Université Côte d'Azur
- Ph.D. (2002), M.Sc. (1999) - Université Nice Sophia Antipolis
- Electrical Engineering (1998) - Lebanese University
Her recent work involves no-regret caching algorithms, stochastic solar energy models, and count-min sketch analysis, while earlier research addressed power saving in cellular networks and WiMAX sleep mode optimization. Articles span topics like multi-level cache hierarchies, peer-to-peer storage reliability, and evolutionary network protocols. She has co-authored three patents related to congestion avoidance and RTT estimation.
Scientific awards include the Best Paper Award at IFIP Wireless Days 2009. Professional service highlights:
- Board of Directors - ACM SIGMETRICS (2019-2023)
- Editorial roles at IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking and Elsevier journals
- Conference organization for ACM Sigmetrics/IFIP Performance (2016, 2024) and ITC (2015, 2023)
She has taught Performance Evaluation of Networks at Université Nice Sophia Antipolis, Probabilities and Statistics (with Giovanni Neglia), and Optimization of Business Processes at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Her lab (NEO) investigates network stochastic models, green IT solutions, and train control communication systems.
