Wireless Ad Hoc and Sensor Networks

Houda Labiod received a PhD degree in Computer Science from the University of Versailles Saint-Quentin-en-Yvelines, France in 1998. From 1999 to 2000, she worked as an assistant researcher at Eurecom Institute in Sophia-Antipolis (France) in the Mobile Communications Unit. Since September 2000, she is an associate professor at ENST (Ecole Nationale Superieure des Telecommunications) in the INFRES (Computer Science and Network) department. She is an author of a book titled "De Wi-Fi a Bluetooth" (Hermes Editions, 2004). Her main research interests include optimization of mobile and wireless networking and mobile ad hoc networks (unicast routing, multicast routing, security, QoS routing).
