Epizeuxis

Epizeuxis is the computer networking research group at Ecole Polytechnique. We are interested in all-things related to data networking, digital communication, networking architectures, network optimization, digitization, etc. We are especially interested in networking when it is difficult, and in adapting, developing, and evolving, the Internet inf... rastructure to connect well, everything. Our ambition is the development of the digitized society. Innovative networdking technologies are part of that as are innovative uses, applications, and services, running atop ubiquitous connectivity. The dictionary definitions of the word Epizeuxis are all descriptive of what our research team does: A genus of moths of the Noctuidae family. Often considered a synonym of Idia , some retain it as a valid genus containing at least the type species. Internet protocols are largely built with the assumption that every link looks like an Ethernet. Yet, wireless ad hoc networks, MESH networks, Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs), Multi-Hop PLC networks, etc., exhibit distinctly non-Ethernet-like properties, and are non-transitive, non-reflexive, and short-lived, Deliberate repeating words in immediate succession (Oh Horror, Horror, Horror). Information and time redundancy are ways of accommodating lossy and fragile links and one of the tools in the toolbox of the Epizeuxis team is development of clever algorithms allowing redundancy in signaling, but in ways which do not overload the channels. Literally, the act of fastening together ; from epizeugnynai to fasten together (epi- + zeugnynai to join, yoke) + -sis This site uses Akismet to reduce spam.
