Abstract: In RESCUE, we propose to exploit the controlled mobility of mobile routers to help a base network in trouble provide 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.

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. Publications in 2014 in the framework of this project are: [12] , [13] .
ADT
MiAOU
Participants : Ibrahim Amadou, Rim Driss, Nathalie Mitton [correspondant] , Loic Schmidt, Julien Vandaele.
-
Abstract: Miaou is an ADT that aims to promote the AspireRFID middleware to a new level of manageability and usability. Miaou has yielded to a software module.
ARUNTA
Participants : Emilio Compagnone, Valeria Loscri [correspondant] , Julien Vandaele, Sonja Nienaber.
-
Abstract: This ADT focuses on the use of Arduino, an open-source electronics prototyping platform, really flexible and easy-to-use [1] to allow a fleet of robots to perform specific tasks. The goal of the ADT is to make experiments on Arduino-based robotic platforms, by implementing two robot cooperation algorithms that have been already tested through simulation tools. In order to extend the users' community and to allow more people to benefit from this research on robot cooperation, this ADT will output a tutorial and a test-bed will be developed. Moreover, the final project will be shared with the Arduino community and every interested user.

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.
