National Initiatives

• ANR FIT

  (2011-2108): FIT (Future Internet of Things) aims to develop an experimental facility, a federated and competitive infrastructure with international visibility and a broad panel of customers. It will provide this facility with a set of complementary components that enable experimentation on innovative services for academic and industrial users. The project will give French Internet stakeholders a means to experiment on mobile wireless communications at the network and application layers thereby accelerating the design of advanced networking technologies for the Future Internet. FIT is one of 52 winning projects from the first wave of the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research's "Équipements d'Excellence" (Equipex) research grant programme. The project will benefit from a 5.8 million euro grant from the French government. Other partners are UPMC, IT, Strasbourg University and CNRS. See also http://fit-equipex.fr/ .

• ANR ARESA2

  (2009-2012): The Planète team is involved in the ARESA2 project which aims at advancing the state of the art in Secure, Self-Organizing, Internet?Connected, Wireless Sensor and Actuator Networks (WSANs). These challenges are to be addressed in an energy-efficient way while sticking to memory-usage constraints. The partners are INRIA, CEA-LETI, France Telecom R&D, Coronis Systems, LIG/Drakkar, Verimag and TELECOM Bretagne.

• ANR pFlower

  (2010-2013): Parallel Flow Recognition with Multi-Core Processor. The main objective of this project is to take advantage of powerful parallelism of multi-thread, multi-core processors, to explore the parallel architecture of pipelined-based flow recognition, parallel signature matching algorithms. The project involves INRIA (planete), Université de Savoie, and ICT/CAS (China).

• Inria Mobilitics

  (2011-2012): as a joint national project with CNIL (the French national committee of Information freedom ). Platform for mobile devices privacy evaluation. This project strives to deploy an experimental mobile platform for studying and analyzing the weaknesses of current online (smartphone) applications and operating systems and the privacy implications for end-users. For instance, one of the objectives is to understand trends and patterns collected when they are aimed at obtaining general knowledge that does not pertain to any specific individual. Examples of such tasks include learning of commuting patterns, inference of recommendation rules, and creation of advertising segments.

• Collaborative Action CAPRIS

  (2011-2014): the Collaborative Action on the Protection of Privacy Rights in the Information Society (CAPRIS), is an Inria national project, which goal is to tackle privacy-related challenges and provide solutions to enhance the privacy protection in the Information Society. His main tasks are the identification of existing and future threats to privacy, and the design of appropriate measures to assess and quantify privacy.

• ANR CMON

  (2009-2012) : This project involves, in addition to INRIA, Technicolor Paris Lab, LIP6, ENS and the Grenouille.com association. CMON stands for collaborative monitoring. It is an industrial research project that develops the technology needed to allow end-users to collaborate in order to identify the origin and cause of Internet service degradation. The main differentiating assumptions made in this project are that (i) ISPs do not cooperate together, and (ii) one cannot rely on any information they provide in order to diagnose service problems. Even more, CMON considers that these ISP will try to masquerade the user observations in order to make their service look better. The software designed in this project will be added to the toolbox currently provided by the Grenouille architecture. The hope is that such a project will encourage ISPs to improve their quality of service and will contribute to improve customer satisfaction.

• ANR F-Lab

  (2011-2013): ANR funded project on the federation of computation, storage and network resources, belonging to autonomous organizations operating heterogeneous testbeds (e.g. PlanetLab testbeds and Sensors testbeds). This includes defining terminology, establishing universal design principles, and identifying candidate federation strategies. Other partners : UPMC, A-LBLF and Thales.

• ANR Connect

  (2011-2012): ANR funded project on content centric Networking architecture. The aim is to propose adequate naming, routing, cache management and transmission control schemes for CCN based networks. Our contribution is centered on network traffic characterization video streaming and on the integration of the CCNx code in the ns-3 simulator. Other partners: UPMC, Alcatel Lucent, Orange R&D, IT.

• ANR SCATTER

  (2011-2012): ANR funded project on Scalable Naming in Information Centric Networks. The goal of this activity is to evaluate the scalability of state of the art naming schemes both from the name resolution and routing points of view. The four main approaches that will be considered are: Content Centric Networking (CCN), Publish-Subscribe Internet Routing Paradigm (PSIRP), Network of Information (NetInf) and Data-Oriented Network Architecture (DONA). Other French partners: UPMC. International KIC partner: SICS.
