Green Networking

Francine Krief, Professor, General Deputy Director of Bordeaux Institute of Technology, FranceFrancine Krief is Deputy Director General in charge of Research at IPB (Institut Polytechnique de Bordeaux). She is a Professor at CNRS LaBRI Laboratory, UMR 5800. Francine Krief obtained the HDR degree (Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches) at University of Paris 6 on context-aware management, in December 2003. Her main research activities concern self-management for wired and wireless networks, end-to-end signaling protocols and wireless sensors networks. Her work on network management has led to many publications in journals and conferences.
