Technology transfer

Since mid 2011 the Triskell team is designing and implementing the DAUM platform that integrates a large range of technologies, ranging from wireless low cost sensors to clouds made of rugged field miniservers. Our application use case is a tactical decision system designed in cooperation with a large firefighter department of 3,500 firefighters. This platform is being used as a real life testbed for our results on dynamic, continuous design of distributed pervasive systems. It is also used as a concrete cooperation support within the Marie Curie Initial Training Network Relate.

By combining models@runtime techniques and component-based techniques, we have shown how we can apply model driven engineering to design large-scale, distributed, heterogeneous and adaptive systems.

Until october 2013 the DAUM platform was funded by an Inria Technology Development activity. In 2013 Triskell was granted for a specific funding (one year of engineer salary) to prepare the transfer of DAUM to the industry and prepare the creation of a startup focused on tools and applications for tactical information and decision systems on the field. The startup planned will involve seven members of the Triskell team.
