CityLab@Inria studies ICT solutions toward smart cities that promote both social and environmental sustainability. A strong emphasis of the Lab is on the undertaking of a multi-disciplinary research program through the integration of relevant scientific and technology studies, from sensing up to analytics and advanced applications, so as to actually enact the foreseen smart city Systems of Systems. Obviously, running urban-scale experiments is a central concern of the Lab, so that we are able to confront proposed approaches to actual settings. The Lab's research leverages relevant effort within Inria project-teams that is further revisited as well as integrated to meet the challenges of smart cities. Research themes span: energy-efficient wireless communication protocols, urban-scale social and physical sensing, privacy by design, cloud-based urban data management, data assimilation, visual analysis, and urban system software engineering. In addition, CityLab Inria research builds upon collaborative effort at the International level, and especially collaboration in the context of the Inria SiliconValley program. This project has yield to the set up of a full course on Smart Cities via a MOOC.

The purpose of this project is to deploy a large scale experimental RFID platform that enables remote programmation of RFID scenario on heterogeneous devices.
ARUNTA
Participants : Emilio Compagnone, Valeria Loscri [correspondant] , Julien Vandaele.

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. This project has yield to several publications in 2016: [44], [43].
