Inria IPL CityLab@Inria

Participants : Valérie Issarny, Bruno Lefèvre.

• Name: CityLab@Inria – Overcoming the Smart City Challenge – Toward Environmental and Social Sustainability

• Period: [January 2014 – November 2018]

• Inria teams: CLIME/ANGE, DICE, FUN, MIMOVE, MYRIADS, SMIS/PETRUS, URBANET/AGORA

• URL: http://citylab.inria.fr

The Inria Project Lab (IPL) 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 experiments is a central concern of the Lab, so that we are able to confront proposed approaches to actual settings.

Inria IPL BetterNet

Participants : Renata Teixeira, Vassilis Christophides, Francesco Bronzino.

• Name: BetterNet – An observatory to measure and improve Internet service access from user experience

• Period: [2016 – 2019]

• Inria teams: Diana, Dionysos, Inria Chile, Madynes, MiMove, Spirals

• URL: https://project.inria.fr/betternet/

BetterNet aims at building and delivering a scientific and technical collaborative observatory to measure and improve the Internet service access as perceived by users. In this Inria Project Lab, we will propose new original user-centered measurement methods, which will associate social sciences to better understand Internet usage and the quality of services and networks. Our observatory can be defined as a vantage point, where:

1. tools, models and algorithms/heuristics will be provided to collect data,

2. acquired data will be analyzed, and shared appropriately with scientists, stakeholders and civil society,

3. and new value-added services will be proposed to end-users.

Inria ADT MOSQUITO

Participants : Renata Teixeira, Francesco Bronzino.

• Name: MOSQUITO – A mobile platform to measure the quality of Internet connectivity

• Period: [November 2016 – October 2018]

• Partners: Inria MiMove, Inria SPIRALS.

The ADT MOSQUITO is part of the Inria Project Lab (IPL) initiative BetterNet. This ADT project focuses on the design and the development of a measurement platform for the quality of mobile Internet access by federating the existing mobile platforms identified in the BetterNet IPL. Beyond the priceless value of such a measurement platform for the research community, this ADT also aims to publish live reports on the quality of mobile Internet access through the BetterNet initiative.
