• B. Trousse is the corresponding person with Servane Crave (Orange labs) of the Living lab “ICT usage Lab” inside the ENoLL network. The ICT Usage Lab was the first french lab labelled by the ENoLL network which is based on the past work of the “Laboratoire des Usages des NTIC” (2002-2006) of Sophia Antipolis. This year in collaboration with Orange labs, CSTB, UNSA and Paris Tech we redefined the main objectives of our lab.

• B. Trousse is member of the technical committe on Computer Supported Work in Design in the context of the IEEE SMCS (Systems, Man & Cybernetics Society ( http://www.ieeesmc.org/ )

• A.-M. Vercoustre is involved (25%) in the Department for Scientific Information and Communication (DISC), working on Inria policy and tools for scientific publications, in particular the development of the Open Archive HAL, in cooperation with CNRS. She is a member of the COST (Comité scientifique et technique du Comité stratégique) for the extension of HAL to become the French National Open Archive. As part of her DISC involvement, A.-M. Vercoustre is also leading the Ralyx project for exploiting the INRIA Activity Report (cf. section  5.8 ).
