RESCUE

Participants : Milan Erdelj, Nathalie Mitton, Kalypso Magklara, Karen Miranda, Tahiry Razafindralambo [correspondant] .

  • Title: Reseau Coordonne de substitution mobile

  • Type: VERSO

  • Duration: December 2010 - April 2004

  • Coordinator: Inria FUN

  • Other partners: LAAS UPMC France Telecom ENS Lyon

  • See also: http://rescue.lille.inria.fr/

  • Abstract: In RESCUE, we propose to exploit the controlled mobility of mobile routers to help a base network in trouble provides a better service. The base network may be any access network or metropolitan network (including wired and wireless technologies). Troubles may come from an increase of unplanned traffic, a failure of an equipment, or a power outage.

    When no backup networks are available, it would be interesting to deploy, for a limited time corresponding to the period of the problem (i.e., failure or traffic overload), a substitution network to help the base network keep providing services to users. In the RESCUE project, we will investigate both the underlying mechanisms and the deployment of a substitution network composed of a fleet of dirigible wireless mobile routers. Unlike many projects and other scientific works that consider mobility as a drawback, in RESCUE we use the controlled mobility of the substitution network to help the base network reduce contention or to create an alternative network in case of failure.

F-Lab

Participants : Nathalie Mitton [correspondant] , Tahiry Razafindralambo.

  • Title: Federating Computing Resources

  • Type: VERSO

  • Duration: November 2010 - March 2014

  • Coordinator: UPMC

  • Other partners: Inria DIANA, DANTE, FUN Thales ALU

  • See also: http://f-lab.fr/

  • Abstract: The F-Lab project works towards enabling an open, general-purpose and sustainable large-scale shared experimental facility that fosters the emergence of the Future Internet. F-Lab builds on a leading prototype for such a facility: the OneLab federation of testbeds. F-Lab will enhance the OneLab federation model with the addition of SensLAB's unique sensor network and LTE-based cellular systems, and develop tools to conduct experiments on these enriched facilities. Project partners include some of French top academic and industrial research institutions, working together to develop experimental facilities on the Future Internet. F-Lab presents an unique opportunity for the French community to play a stronger role in the design of federation systems; for the SensLAB testbed to reach an international visibility and use; and for the pioneering of testbeds based on LTE technology.

BinThatThinks

Participants : Tony Ducrocq, Nathalie Mitton [correspondant] .

  • Title: BinThatThinks

  • Type: ECOTECH

  • Duration: November 2010 - November 2013

  • Coordinator: Inria ACES (Rennes)

  • Other partners: Etineo Veolia

  • See also: http://binthatthink.inria.fr/

  • Abstract: Efficient dust sorting is a main challenge for the current society. BinThatThinks is a research project that aims to propose a system that makes the collect and sorting easier through the use of RFID and sensors.

  • Coordinator: Inria FUN

  • Abstract: Miaou is an ADT that aims to promote the AspireRFID middleware to a new level of manageability and usability.

Equipements d'Excellence

FIT

Participants : Nathalie Mitton [correspondant] , Anne-Sophie Tonneau, Tahiry Razafindralambo, Loic Schmidt, David Simplot-Ryl, Julien Vandaele, Roberto Quilez.

  • Title: Future Internet of Things

  • Type: EquipEx

  • Duration: March 2010 - December 2019

  • Coordinator: UPMC

  • See also: http://fit-equipex.fr/

  • Abstract: FIT (Future Internet of Things) aims to develop an experimental facility, a federated and competitive infrastructure with international visibility and a broad panel of customers. It will provide this facility with a set of complementary components that enable experimentation on innovative services for academic and industrial users. The project will give French Internet stakeholders a means to experiment on mobile wireless communications at the network and application layers thereby accelerating the design of advanced networking technologies for the Future Internet.

    FIT is one of 52 winning projects from the first wave of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research's "Equipements d'Excellence" (Equipex) research grant program. Coordinated by Professor Serge Fdida of UPMC Sorbonne Universités and running over a nine-year period, the project will benefit from a 5.8 million euro grant from the French government.
