National projects

RNRT C'MON

(2009-2012):

The Planète group is a member of the CMON RNRT project which started in February 2009 and which involves, in addition to INRIA, Thomson Paris Lab, LIP6, ENS and the Grenouille.com company. CMON stands for collaborative monitoring. It is an industrial research project that will develop the technology needed to allow end-users to collaborate in order to identify the origin and cause of Internet service degradation. The main differentiating assumptions made in this project are that (i) ISPs do not cooperate together, and (ii) one cannot rely on any information they provide in order to diagnose service problems. Even more, CMON considers that these ISP will try to masquerade the user observations in order to make their service look better. The software designed in this project will be added to the toolbox currently provided by the Grenouille project. The hope is that such a project will encourage ISPs to improve their quality of service and will contribute to improve customer satisfaction.

RNRT RFID-AP

(2008-2010):

The Planète group is involved in the RFIDAP RNRT project which aims at designing and prototyping cryptographic algorithms and secure protocols for RFID deployment. Such algorithms and protocols could be used individually, or in combination, and will provide a practical and useful framework within which to apply innovative but practical techniques for device authentication and user privacy.

FUI/Minalogic SHIVA

(2009-2012):

The goal of the SHIVA project (Secured Hardware Immune Versatile Architecture) is to design a high performance security gateway, using a high performance re-programmable and reconfigurable security FPGA board, plugged in a commodity PC. The INRIA Moais and INRIA Planète team both participate, jointly, to this project leaded by CS-SI.

ANR/RNRT CAPRI-FEC

(2007-2009):

The goal of this project is to design and analyze Application-Level FEC (AL-FEC) codes for the erasure channel, and their adequacy to wireless applications. The partners are INRIA (leader), CEA-LETI, ENSICA, STMicroelectronics, and (NAME REMOVED).

ANR/CIS HIPCAL

(2007-2009):

The goal of this project is to design a middle-ware that provides secure communications and assured performances to grids. This middle-ware relies on the HIP (Host Identity Protocol) subsystem, and on host virtualization techniques to dynamically define virtual, confined clusters. The middle-ware will be tested with several biomedical and bio-informatics applications. The partners are INRIA Reso (leader), INRIA Grand Large, INRIA Planète, CNRS IBCP, CNRS I3S.

Industrial contract with (NAME REMOVED)

(2008-2011):

The goal of this study the use of AL-FEC techniques in broadcasting systems.

CPER Plexus

(2007-2010) :

This project aims to build an experimental wireless networking platform in several sites in Sophia Antipolis. This platform will be interconnected with the European OneLab platform through INRIA and will integrate Eurecom's radio platform. The goal is to study the performance in terms of bandwidth and radio resources utilization in a heterogeneous radio environment.
