Bilateral Contracts with Industry

• Renault, 2014-2016, 45 000 euros. The purpose of this contract is to develop solutions for running a mix of real-time and best-effort applications on a small embedded multicore architecture. Our goal is to optimize the usage of the processor resource. The PhD of Antoine Blin is supported by a CIFRE fellowship with Renault.

• Orange Labs, 2016-2017, 60 000 euros. The purpose of this contract is to apply the techniques developed in the context of the PhD of Antoine Blin to the domain of Software Defined Networks where network functions are run using virtual machines on commodity multicore machines.

• Thales Research, 2016-2018, 45 000 euros. The purpose of this contract is to enable the usage of multicore architectures in avionics systems. More precisely, our goal is to develop optimizations for a software TDMA hypervisor developed by Thales that provides full time-isolation of tasks. The PhD of Cédric Courtaud is supported by a CIFRE fellowship with Thales Research.

• OSADL, 2016-2017, development of the Prequel patch query language, 20 000 euros. OSADL is an organization headquartered in Germany that promotes and supports the use of open source software in the automation and machine industry. The project is in the context of the OSADL project SIL2LinuxMP bringing together various companies in automotive and embedded sytems with the goal of developing methodologies for certifying the basic components of a GNU/Linux-based RTOS.
