National Initiatives

ANR Blanc - PRESAGE

This project brings together computational geometers (from the VEGAS and GEOMETRICA projects of INRIA) and probabilistic geometers (from Universities of Rouen, Orléans and Poitiers) to tackle new probabilistic geometry problems arising from the design and analysis of geometric algorithms and data structures. We focus on properties of discrete structures induced by or underlying random continuous geometric objects.

This is a four year project, with a total budget of 400kE, that will start on Dec. 31st, 2011. It is coordinated by X. Goaoc (VEGAS).

PEPS Rupture - INS2I: Manifold

The aim of this project is to initiate a collaboration to investigate algebraic/numeric methods for the analysis of manifolds, considering also singularities, that arise in robotics and biological models. Researchers specialized in interval analysis (LINA) and symbolic methods (LORIA) evaluate the relevance of their approaches to applications in robotics (IRCCyN) and biology (LINA). The outcome of this evaluation will be a proposal for a hybridization of both methods that will be worked out in a longer term project.

This is a one year project with a budget of 10 kE. Two one day workshops have been funded with invitations of potential partners for a followup.
