H2020 ICT-10-2016 STAMP

• Coordinator: Inria Rennes

• Other partners: ATOS, ActiveEon, OW2, TellU, Engineering, XWiki, TU Delft, SINTEF

• Dates: 2016-2019

• Abstract: Leveraging advanced research in automatic test generation, STAMP aims at pushing automation in DevOps one step further through innovative methods of test amplification. It will reuse existing assets (test cases, API descriptions, dependency models), in order to generate more test cases and test configurations each time the application is updated. Acting at all steps of development cycle, STAMP techniques aim at reducing the number and cost of regression bugs at unit level, configuration level and production stage.

  STAMP will raise confidence and foster adoption of DevOps by the European IT industry. The project gathers three academic partners with strong software testing expertise, five software companies (in: e-Health, Content Management, Smart Cities and Public Administration), and an open source consortium. This industry-near research addresses concrete, business-oriented objectives. All solutions are open source and developed as microservices to facilitate exploitation, with a target at TRL 6.

Collaborations in European Programs, Except FP7 & H2020

• Coordinator: UR1

• Other partners: Airbreizh - Surveillance of Brittany air quality association, branch of the French national air surveillance network, AmpliSIM - SME specialized in pollution numerical simulation, CNRS / IDRIS - Institute for Development and Resources in Intensive Scientific Computing, GENCI - Supercomputing centres association, Keolis - Public transport operator for Rennes Metropole, Neovia – SME specialized in HPC and project management, Rennes Métropole – Local authority in charge of the Service Public Métropolitain de la Donnée (SPMD), Ryax Technologies – SME providing Data Analytics workflows’ automation and seamless orchestration on hybrid distributed infrastructures UCit – SME providing HPC as a Service

• Dates: 2018-2020

• Abstract: The AQMO project is co-financed by the European Union through its CEF programme. It addresses the air quality challenge, thanks to the development of a smart city pilot in the area of Rennes Metropole. The project will provide an end-to-end urban platform that extends current practices in air quality measurements. The AQMO platform will provide citizens, local authorities, scientific organizations and private companies with new data and innovative services based on computing simulation.

• Program: EIT Digital

• Project acronym: UAV-Retina

• Project title: Unmanned Aerial Vehicles - Retina

• Duration: from 2018-10 to 2019-12

• Coordinator: UR1

• Other partners: Bright Cape (company from the Netherlands), FBK (Trento University, Italy), JCP Connect (company from France), Tellus Environment (company from France), Fire Department of Ille et Vilaine (France), Fire Department of Trento (Italy)

• Abstract: The UAV-Retina objectives aims at the creation of s startup company for a flexible autonomous drone platform for search and rescue, using advanced unmanned vehicles and data analytics. The markets for the company will be Improved Explosive Devices detection, support for firefighting operations, and support for avalanche search and rescue operations.
