PIA (Projets Investissements d’Avenir

Datascale (2013-2015), 250Keuros

Participants : Reza Akbarinia, Florent Masseglia, Saber Salah, Patrick Valduriez.

The Datascale project is a PIA on big data with Bull (leader), CEA, ActiveEon SAS, Armadillo, Twenga, IPGP, Xedix and Inria (Zenith) . The goal of the project is to develop the essential technologies for big data, including efficient data management, software architecture and database architecture, and demonstrate their scalability with representative applications. In this project, the Zenith team works on data mining with Hadoop MapReduce.

Xdata (2013-2015), 125Keuros

Participants : Julien Diener, Patrick Valduriez.

The X-data project is a PIA with Data Publica (leader), Orange, La Poste, EDF, Cinequant, Hurence and Inria (Indes, Planete and Zenith) . The goal of the project is to develop a big data plaftform with various tools and services to integrate open data and partners’s private data for analyzing the location, density and consuming of individuals and organizations in terms of energy and services. In this project, the Zenith team heads the workpackage on data integration.

PIA Floris'Tic (2015-2018), 430Keuro.

Participants : Julien Champ, Alexis Joly.

Floris'tic is a PIA aimed at promoting the scientific and technical culture of plant sciences through innovative pedagogic methods, including participatory initiatives and the use of IT tools such as the one built within the Pl@ntNet project. A. Joly heads the work package on the development of the IT tools. This is a joint project with the AMAP laboratory and the TelaBotanica social network.

CIFRE INA/Inria (2013-2016), 100Keuros

Participants : Alexis Joly, Valentin Leveau, Patrick Valduriez.

This CIFRE contract with INA allows funding a 3-years PhD (Valentin Leveau). This PhD addresses research challenges related to large-scale supervised content-based retrieval in distributed environments.

CNRS INS2I Mastodons (2013-2015), 90Keuros

Participants : Alexis Joly, Florent Masseglia, Esther Pacitti [leader] , Patrick Valduriez.

This project deals with the problems of big data in the context of life science, where masses of data are being produced, e.g. by Next Generation Sequencing technologies or plant phenotyping platforms. In this project, Zenith addresses the specific problems of large-scale data analysis and data sharing.
