Application domains

Our application domains have links with funds and contracts we have got thanks to long-term relations with academic and industrial partners. These application domains serve us both as providers of real challenging problems and as test-beds for our research development. One should not consider them as distinct research areas but as distinct experimentation fields, for confronting similar methodologies and techniques on various application contexts. We investigate the following application domains:

• large component-based system monitoring applications: the two main investigated domains are telecommunication networks, and software systems as those found in embedded systems or web services.

• environmental protection: more precisely, we are developing decision support systems to help managing agricultural water catchments and ecosystems under fishing pressure.
