National Initiatives

FUI

CEOS

Participants : Slim Ben Amor, Liliana Cucu, Cristian Maxim, Mehdi Mezouak, Yves Sorel, Walid Talaboulma.

This project was started on May 2017. Partners of the project are: ADCIS, ALERION, Aéroports de Lyon, EDF, ENEDIS, RTaW, EDF, Thales Communications and Security, ESIEE engineering school and Lorraine University. The CEOS project delivers a reliable and secure system of inspections of pieces of works using professional mini-drone for Operators of Vital Importance coupled with their Geographical Information System. These inspections are carried out automatically at a lower cost than current solutions employing helicopters or off-road vehicles. Several software applications proposed by the industrial partners, are developed and integrated in the drone, within an innovative mixed-criticality approach using multi-core platforms.

WARUNA

Participants : Liliana Cucu, Adriana Gogonel, Yves Sorel, Walid Talaboulma.

This FUI funded project was started on September 2015 and it is preparing its final conclusions for the beginning of 2019. It has targeted the creation of the framework Time4Sys within the PolarSys project [12]. This open source framework allows timing analyses from models to simulation for different application domains like avionics, railways, medical, aerospace, automotive, etc. and it is available at https://www.polarsys.org/time4sys.

PIA

ES3CAP

Participants : Keryan Didier, Dumitru Potop Butucaru.

The objectives of the ES3CAP (Embedded Smart Safe Secure Computing Autonomous Platform) project are to:

• Build a hardware and software industry-grade solution for the development of computation-intensive critical application. The solution should cover the needs of industrial end users, and target multi/many-core hardware platforms. The solution with come with 3 to 6 usage profiles specific to various industries (automotive, aerospace, defence).

• Improve the technology readiness level of the proposed development flow from TRL4-5 (technology development) to TRL6-7, thus approaching as much as possible commercialization.

• Build an alternate, perennial ecosystem for critical real-time OSs and development tools, for computer vision, data fusion and neural networks. The tools and components must be available on a prototyping and demonstration platform that is safe and secure.

• Capitalize on the convergence between the automotive and aerospace markets on subjects such as security, safety, decision making, and big data.

DEPARTS

Participants : Liliana Cucu, Adriana Gogonel, Walid Talaboulma.

This BGLE funded project of the national support programme Investissements d’Avenir has started on October 1st, 2012 and provided its final conclusions on December 2018. Inria has provided a final prototype version of the EVT Kopernic tool taking into account homogenous variation factors for the execution times. Swapping algorithms allowing WCET decrease are currently finalized within the PhD thesis of Walid Talaboulma with a defense expected during the spring of 2019.
