    • LaCoDa: Layered connected topology for massive data centers 

      Chkirbene, Zina; Foufou, Sebti; Hamila, Ridha; Tari, Zahir; Zomaya, Albert Y. ( Academic Press , 2017 , Article)
      One of the fundamental challenges of existing data centers is to design a network that interconnects massive number of servers, and therefore providing an efficient and fault-tolerant routing service to upper-layer ...
    • Multiple Relay Selection and Beamforming in Dual-Hop Amplify-and-Forward Relay Networks 

      Gouissem, Ala; Samara, Lutfi; Hamila, Ridha; Al-Dhahir, Naofal; Foufou, Sebti ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2019 , Article)
      In this paper, the problems of multiple relay selection and beamforming optimization are considered for a dual-hop amplify-and-forward relaying network under individual and total power constraints. The selection is performed ...
    • PTNet: A parameterizable data center network 

      Baccour, Emna; Foufou, Sebti; Hamila, Ridha ( Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc. , 2016 , Conference Paper)
      This paper presents PTNet, a new data center topology that is specifically designed to offer a high and parameterized scalability with just one layer architecture. Furthermore, despite its high scalability, PTNet grants a ...
