ANR Quasimodo
Participants : François Despaux, Abdelkader Lahmadi, Evangelia Tsiontsiou, Ye-Qiong Song [contact] .
The QUASIMODO ANR Blanc international project (http://quasimodo.loria.fr/ ) is a fundamental research project coordinated by Prof. Ye-Qiong SONG at LORIA - University of Lorraine in France and by Prof. Youxian SUN at SKLICT of Zhejiang University in China. The project started on March 2011 for duration of 36 months. It is funded by ANR grant (ANR 2010 INTB 0206 01) and NSFC grant (NSFC 61061130563). The main objective of the project is to specify, develop and evaluate algorithms and mechanisms to provide the self-adaptive QoS support for real-time applications using wireless sensor networks (WSN). We extended queue-MAC to iQueue-MAC to support multi-hop transmission [23] . We also conducted measurement based performance evaluation of IEEE802.15.4 beacon enabled WSN to assess the usefulness of the existing Markov models [15] , [14] for evaluating the end-to-end delay distribution. A new routing algorithm called Operator calculus has been intensively studied and its execution time has been compared with SAMCRA, showing the great potential of OC to be used in WSN routing.
PIA LAR
Participants : Kévin Roussel, Ye-Qiong Song [contact] .
LAR (Living Assistant Robot) is a national project getting together Inria (MAIA and MADYNES teams, Credit Agricole, Diatelic and Robotsoft. The aim is to develop an ambient assisted living system for elderly including both sensors and assistive robots. The task of our team is the development of a WSN based system integrating both sensors of the environment and sensors and actuators embedded on a mobile robot. The research issues include the QoS, energy and mobility management. The first step consists in identifying and developing necessary support for realizing such a system. For this purpose we investigated several OS for WSN and proposed some enhancements to ContikiMAC and RiotOS.
Action de Développement Technologique
ADT Métroscope
This ADT is linked to the consortium Metroscope ( http://metroscope.eu/ ), whose goal is to understand the behavior of the Internet and its uses within a mobile environment. Through this ADT, funded by Inria, an engineer (Mohammad-Irfan Khan) was hired for 2 years (2013-2015). He will participate in the design and deployment of a distributed platform. This platform will be composed of a services providing measurement tools that collect a set of data and interact with probes located at various points of the network.
ADT SEA
The goal of this ADT is to provide an novel security solution for Android platforms where the users will be able to evaluate the security level of their devices. The solution relies on the analysis and collection of logs and network activities of running Android applications to detect malicious activities and also the detection of vulnerable configurations of the device using an OVAL-based approach. Through, this ADT, funded by Inria, an engineer (Eric Finickel) was hired for 2 years (2013-2015). He is working on the development of Android devices embedded probes to export logs and network activities. He will also design and setup the collector and the analysis applications using a Hadoop based framework.
ADT PAL-PERCEE
The goal of this ADT (2012-2013) is to provide a multi-protocol gateway and a unified interface for easing transparent access to the heterogenous sensor data. Together with PAL partners, we specified a common data format and enriched the existing MPIGate by re-structing all using ROS middleware. The new MPIGate is operational in the smart apartment of LORIA and serves as the base for developing large scale AAL systems.
Actions d'Envergure Nationale
The Inria Large-scale initiative action AEN PAL project (http://pal.inria.fr ) aims at providing technologies and services for improving the autonomy and quality of life for elderly and fragile persons. Communication is one of the key components for ensuring real-time data gathering and exchange between heterogeneous sensors and actuators (robots). Within PAL and thanks to the associated ADT PERCEE project described above, we extended MPIGate (http://mpigate.loria.fr ). The development and tests are conducted using LORIA's smart apartment platform developed within CPER MISN Informatique située project (http://infositu.loria.fr ). The adoption of ROS (Robotic Operating System) also facilitates the interoperability of our services with the services of the other PAL partners since the new PALGate is based on ROS.
