María Gómez Lacruz defended her PhD thesis  [58] in 2016 in the Spirals project-team. She is now a post-doctoral researcher at Saarland University, Germany. During her thesis, she worked in the domain of crowdsensed data. She proposed algorithms to mine traces of mobile applications in order to detect and reproduce application crashes. This research led to techniques that improve the robustness of mobile applications deployed in the wild. For these results, she was awarded an accessit for the thesis prize of the CNRS GDR Génie de la programmation et du logiciel (GPL). See http://gdr-gpl.cnrs.fr/node/284.

Benjamin Danglot and his colleagues—Thomas Durieux, Martin Monperrus, Simon Urli, contributing to the development of the Spoon software library—received the 2017 OW2 Community award for Spoon specific and dynamic community, and the use of Spoon in other projects. OW2 is an independent, global, open-source community that promotes the development of open-source middleware, generic business applications, and cloud computing platforms. Spoon is an OW2 project and a software building block that is used in many of our research activities and projects on self-adaptation.

Philippe Merle, Christophe Gourdin, and Nathalie Mitton (Inria Fun) received a best paper award  in the 2nd IEEE International Congress on Internet of Things (ICIOT 2017) for their work on mobile cloud robotics. The paper proposes a novel interface to bridge the gap between cloud systems and mobile robot systems. See http://iciot.org/2018/news.html.
