Title: Highly Complex and Networked Control Systems
Type: COOPERATION (ICT)
Defi: Engineering of Networked Monitoring and Control Systems
Instrument: Network of Excellence (NoE)
Duration: September 2010 - August 2014
Coordinator: CNRS (France)
Others partners: INRIA (France), ETH Zurich (Switzerland), TU Berlin (Germany), TU Delft (Netherlands) and many others

Abstract: Hycon 2 aims at stimulating and establishing a long-term integration in the strategic field of control of complex, large-scale, and networked dynamical systems. It focuses in particular on the domains of ground and aerospace transportation, electrical power networks, process industries, and biological and medical systems.

Title: Foundations of Web Data Management
Type: IDEAS
Instrument: ERC Advanced Grant (Advanced)
Duration: December 2008 - November 2013
Coordinator: INRIA (France)
Others partners: N/A

Abstract: The goal of the Webdam project is to develop a formal model for Web data management. This model will open new horizons for the development of the Web in a well-principled way, enhancing its functionality, performance, and reliability. Specifically, the goal is to develop a universally accepted formal framework for describing complex and flexible interacting Web applications featuring notably data exchange, sharing, integration, querying and updating. We also propose to develop formal foundations that will enable peers to concurrently reason about global data management activities, cooperate in solving specific tasks and support services with desired quality of service. Although the proposal addresses fundamental issues, its goal is to serve as the basis for future software development for Web data management. S. Abiteboul has left Leo in September 2011. From this date, WebDam is no longer formally connected to the team, although collaborations with them continue.

Program: KIC EIT ICT Labs, “Digital Cities” Thematic Action Line
Project acronym: DataBridges
Project title: “Data Integration for Digital Cities”
Duration: January 2011 - December 2011
Coordinator: Ioana Manolescu (INRIA Saclay, Leo)
Other partners: IASI and BD teams from University of Paris 11; DFKI (Germany); TU Delft (The Netherlands); Aalto University (Finland); KTH (Sweden); Alcatel (France)
Abstract: Digital cities are information exchange marketplaces where companies, individuals, and administrations all interact through many-directional flows. Interesting recent development in this context are: the open data trend, aiming at making data freely shared by several parties, and the linked data technical initiative, leading to establishing connections across data sets toward integrating them. Our activity studies concrete and fundamental aspects connected to the creation, integration, personalization, and efficient sharing of open linked data in digital cities.

Program: KIC EIT ICT Labs, “Digital Cities” Thematic Action Line
Project acronym: ConnectedClouds
Project title: “Clouds for Connected Cities”
Duration: January 2011 - December 2011
Coordinator: Djamal Zeghlache (Télécom SudParis)
Other partners: IASI and BD teams from University of Paris 11; TU Berlin (Germany) etc.
Abstract: Digital cities are information exchange marketplaces where companies, individuals, and administrations all interact through many-directional flows. The ConnectedClouds activity aims at developing tools and techniques for efficiently gathering and managing large volumes of data within cloud-based platforms [62] .
