ANR STOCH-MC: Model-Checking of Stochastic Systems using approximated algorithms, 2014-2018, http://perso.crans.org/~genest/stoch.htmlweb site.

Led by SUMO.

Partners: Inria Project Team CONTRAINTES (Rocquencourt), LaBRI (Bordeaux), and LIAFA (Paris).

The aim of STOCH-MC is to perform model-checking of large stochastic systems, using controlled approximations. Two formalisms will be considered: Dynamic Bayesian Networks, which represent compactly large Markov Chains; and Markov Decision Processes, allowing non deterministic choices on top of probabilities.

ANR HeadWorks: Human-Centric Data-oriented WORKflows , 2016-2020

Led by Université Rennes 1.

Partners: Inria Project Team VALDA (LSV and ENS-ULM), Univestité Rennes 1 (DRUID), Inria SUMO, Inria Lille (LINKs), MNHN, Foule Factory.

Headwork was accepted in 2016. Participants : Loïc Hélouët, Éric Badouel.

Partners: IRISA (DRUID), ENS ULM (VALDA), Inria SUMO, Inria Lille (LINKs), MNHN, Foule Factory.

The objective of this project is to develop techniques to facilite development, deployment, and monitring of crowd-based participative applications. This requires handling complex workflows with multiple participants, incertainty in data collections, incentives, skills of contributors, ... To overcome these challenges, Headwork will define rich workflows with multiple participants, data and knowledge models to capture various kind of crowd applications with complex data acquisition tasks and human specificities. We will also address methods for deploying, verifying, optimizing, but also monitoring and adapting crowd- based workflow executions at run time.

IPL HAC SPECIS

The Inria Project Lab HAC SPECIS (High-performance Application and Computers, Studying PErformance and Correctness In Simulation, 2016-2020: http://hacspecis.gforge.inria.fr/) is a transversal project internal to Inria. The goal of the HAC SPECIS project is to answer the methodological needs raised by the recent evolution of HPC architectures by allowing application and runtime developers to study such systems both from the correctness and performance point of view. Inside this project, we collaborate with Martin Quinson (Myriads team) on the dynamic formal verification of high performance runtimes and applications. The PhD of The Anh Pham is granted by this project.

Partners: Inria teams AVALON (Lyon), POLARIS (Grenoble), HIEPACS, STORM (Bordeaux), MEXICO (Paris), MYRIADS, SUMO (Rennes), VERIDIS (Nancy).

Participants: Thierry Jéron, The Anh Pham.

National informal collaborations

The team collaborates with the following researchers:

• Yliès Falcone (CORSE LIG/Inria team in Grenoble) and Antoine Rollet (Labri Bordeaux) on the enforcement of timed properties,

• Arnaud Sangnier (IRIF) on the parameterized verification of probabilistic systems,

• Béatrice Bérard (LIP6) and Serge Haddad (LSV) on problems of opacity and diagnosis.

• Thomas Chatain, on problems related to concurrency and time,

• Eric Rutten and Gwenael delaval on the control of reconfigurable systems as well as making the ling between Reax and Heptagon / BZR (http://bzr.inria.fr/),

• Patricia Bouyer (LSV, ENS Cachan) on the analysis of probabilistic timed systems and quantitative aspects of verification,

• François Laroussinie (IRIF, UP7-Diderot) on logics for multi-agent systems.
