Regional Initiatives

Compsys has increased its relationship with the CITI laboratory (Insa-Lyon) and, in particular, the team of Tanguy Risset (Socrate Inria project http://www.citi-lab.fr/team/socrate/ ). Compsys and Socrate made several common working groups in 2012 and 2013, and are mutually invited to seminars organized by the other team. Streaming languages are a common topic of interest. In this context, Socrate, with the help of Compsys, will organize a thematic day (April 14, 2014) on the “compilation and execution of streaming programs”, in Domaine des Hautannes, St Germain au Mont d'Or. Lionel Morel and Laure Gonnord have also common topics of interest.

Compsys has stronger connections with the Grame music/computer laboratory (http://www.grame.fr ) in Lyon and, in particular, Yann Orlarey, also due to common interests on streaming languages, in particular the language Faust developed by Grame. Yann Orlarey was one of the invited speaker of the keynotes on parallel languages (see the description the thematic quarter on compilation in Section  9.1.2 ). Alexandre Isoard's Master 1 training period was on Faust, co-advised by Alain Darte and Yann Orlarey. For 2014, Laure Gonnord and Yann Orlarey proposed a Master research topic on the generation of invariants for the Faust language.

Compsys is also involved in the Labex MILYON (Mathématiques et Informatique Fondamentale de Lyon), which regroups Institut Camille Jordan, and the mathematics and computer science labs of ENS-Lyon. The aim of MILYON is “to strengthen our international relationships, in particular by organizing thematic quarters which will allow world experts of a subject to gather in Lyon and work together in a stimulating environment.” In this context, Compsys organized a thematic quarter on compilation from April 2013 to July 2013, see details in Section  9.1.2 . Compsys also follows or participates to the activities of LyonCalcul (http://lyoncalcul.univ-lyon1.fr/ ), a network to federate activities on computing in Lyon.
