Overall Objectives

The research of the Regal team addresses the theory and practice of Computer Systems, including multicore computers, clusters, networks, peer-to-peer systems, cloud computing systems, and other communicating entities such as swarms of robots. It addresses the challenges of communicating, sharing information, and computing correctly in such large-scale, highly dynamic computer systems. This includes addressing the core problems of communication, consensus and fault detection, scalability, replication and consistency of shared data, information sharing in collaborative groups, dynamic content distribution, and multi- and many-core concurrent algorithms.

Regal is a joint research team between LIP6 and Inria Paris-Rocquencourt. In 2014, 4 permanent members of Regal created Whisper team with a focuss on infrastructure (system) software.
