Microsoft Windows Azure for Research Grant

Participants : Nicolas Haderer, Christophe Ribeiro, Romain Rouvoy [correspondant] .

The research program associated with this grant consists in leveraging the APISENSE ® crowdsensing platform to support the real-time processing of "big" datasets collected in the physical world by a "large" crowd of smartphones. Examples of case studies covered in this area include the automatic inference of roadmaps, the continuous cartography of network coverage quality, or even the detection and the dynamic analysis of earthquakes. However, the unpredictable volume of data to be collected in the wild requires the adoption of elastic computation models and infrastructures to continuously provision the processing capabilities to fit uploads of information reports.

The grant takes the form of virtual credits for accessing the Microsoft Azure cloud computing platform.
