National initiatives
-
We participated in the national contract A3PAT, which started on Dec. 1st 2005. Other participants in this contract are CEDRIC-CNAM (Evry), LABRI (Bordeaux), and LRI (Orsay). The objective of this contract is to study the possible combination of the rewriting engine Cime and the Coq system, especially in the verification that recursive algorithms do terminate. This contract was terminated in June 2009.
-
We participate in the common laboratory between INRIA and Microsoft Research, in the Collaborative research actions “Mathematical components” and “Secure Distributed Computations and their Proofs”. Other participants in the first collaboration are the INRIA project-teams TYPICAL and PROVAL. The goals are to study finite group theory and efficient arithmetics. In the second collaboration, other participants are the INRIA teams INDES (formerly MIMOSA) and MOSCOVA. We focus on formal proofs for computational Cryptography.
-
We lead the national contract Galapagos, which started on Nov. 19th 2007. Other participants in this contract are the universities of Strasbourg and Poitiers, the ENSIEE in Evry and the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Lyon. The objective of this contract is to study the formal description of geometric concepts and algorithms.
-
We participate to the ANR SCALP, which started on January 1st, 2008. Other participants in this contract are DCS-Verimag (Grenoble), Plume-LIP (Lyon), Proval-LRI (Orsay), CPR-Cédric (Cnam, Paris). In this project we focus on the formalization of Cryptography.
-
We participate to the ANR DeCert, which started on January 2009. Other participants are CEA List (Paris), LORIA-INRIA (Nancy), Celtique-IRISA (Rennes), Proval-LRI (Orsay), Typical-INRIA Futurs, Systerel (Aix-en-provence). The objective of the DeCert project is to design an architecture for cooperating decision procedures. To ensure trust in the architecture, the decision procedures will either be proved correct inside a proof assistant or produce proof witnesses allowing external checkers to verify the validity of their answers.
-
We collaborate with the CEA to develop Frama-C which is a suite of tools dedicated to the analysis of the source code of software written in C.
