REALMS Associate Team
-
Associate teams: Inria-EVA, Prof. Glaser's team (UC Berkeley), Prof. Kerkez's team (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor)
-
Objective: Prof. Glaser's and Prof. Kerkez's teams are revolutionizing environmental monitoring by using low power wireless TSCH networks to produce continuous environmental data accessible in real time. They are successfully deploying these networks to study mountain hydrology, observe water quality in urban watersheds, and build intelligent urban stormwater grids. The REALMS associate team conducts research across the environmental engineering and networking research domains. Its 3-year goal is to develop easy-to-use real-world network monitoring solutions to provide real-time data for environmental and urban applications. This goal leads to the following objectives: building a long-term large-scale public connectivity dataset of the networks deployed; using that dataset to model TSCH networks; and building an ecosystem of tools around this technology.

DIVERSITY Associate Team
-
Title: Measuring and Exploiting Diversity in Low-Power Wireless Networks
-
Associate teams: Inria-EVA, Prof. Bhaskar Krishnamachari's team, USC, CA, USA
-
Objective: The Grand Challenge of the DIVERSITY associate team is to develop the networking technology for tomorrow's Smart Factory. The two teams come with a perfectly complementary background on standardization and experimentation (Inria-EVA) and scheduling techniques (USC-ANRG). The key topic addressed by the joint team will be networking solutions for the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT), with a particular focus on reliability and determinism.

Tassili
The Tassili project (N° MDU 17MDU988 - Campus France N° 37459VF) “Gestion des caches et orchestration intelligentes dans un environnement réseau virtulaisé” is a project in collaboration with Algeria and France. On the French side, the project is leaded by Samia Bouzefrane (associated professor at CNAM) and Paul Muhlethaler (EVA team Inria). On the Algerian side is leaded by the University Mouloud Mammeri of Tizi-Ouzou (UMMTO) représented by Mehammed Daoui (associated professor).
This project will start in January 2017 and will last three years. Three PhD theses will be conducted in co-tutelle between CNAM and UMMTO. This project will support the stay of the tree PhD candidates for a four months visit in France. These two PhD theses will be co-directed by Paul Muhlethaler. The first subject is “New intelligent caching and mobility strategies for MEC/ICN based architectures” and the second subject concern the design of a safe architecture for Name Data Networking.
