FUI IoTize 2015–2018

Mon, 04 May 2015 00:00:00 +0000

FUI SCS & Minalogic

The IoTize project, endorsed by the SCS and Minalogic clusters, set out to connect embedded systems to smartphones through NFC modules. The aim was twofold: to give embedded devices shared, usable human interfaces, and to give unconnected objects a gateway to the Internet. The modules fit most embedded systems using a process patented by KEOLABS in 2014.

The consortium brought together five partners: KEOLABS, STMicroelectronics (Rousset), Gemalto, ISEN-Toulon and LIG-INP, with an advisory panel of companies contributing to the specification and testing of the solution. IoTize addressed specific needs of the IoT market with a complete path from microcontroller to Internet server. Its defining feature is how easily it integrates into most embedded systems, often requiring neither software nor hardware development: a set of software tools adapts it to the embedded application by configuration alone.

Scientific context #

The Internet of Things (IoT) as it is defined today aims to interconnect physical objects using Internet technologies. This brings two complementary scenarios in the picture: Machine to Machine interaction, where connected smart objects can interact autonomously with each other, and physical world interaction, where sensors quantify their surroundings and actuators may act upon their immediate environment. These networks are envisioned as a major source of data, stored remotely in the cloud for later analysis, hence contributing to the rise of Big Data.

ANR DataTweet 2013–2016

Tue, 01 Oct 2013 00:00:00 +0000

The DataTweet project proposes to explore the idea of a ubiquitous public data service for transmitting short messages in a similar way to Twitter. Any user of the service will be able to send a short message at a very low rate to some destination address over various access networks: open 802.11 hotspots, base stations of LTE, car-to-infrastructure stations of 802.11p. The user sends its message to the nearest wireless network at hand (for instance a 802.11 hotspot) that will forward it in a multihop way to the destination by the elements of the infrastructure network.

Iris website

IRIS proposes to explore how Smart Objects can be interconnected and viewed as interoperable IP based end-hosts on the Internet thus making the Future Internet of Smart Objects happen and enabling the emergence of novel and exciting applications. We are not alone in seeing the vision of IP-based smart objects, as evidenced by the IPSO Alliance, IETF standards (6LoWPAN, ROLL, CoAP), and recent start-ups/companies that follow the same track. However, even though the IETF standardization process makes constant progress, there are still many research issues requiring investigation and the whole approach calls for experimental validation.

CALIPSO builds Internet Protocol (IP) connected smart object networks, but with novel methods to attain very low power consumption, thereby providing both interoperability and long lifetimes. CALIPSO leans on the significant body of work on sensor networks to integrate radio duty cycling and data-centric mechanisms into the IPv6 stack, something that existing work has not previously done. CALIPSO works at three layers: the network, the routing, and the application layer. We also revisit architectural decisions on naming, identification, and the use of middle-boxes.

The main problem tackled by the project is unequal access to new technologies and vocational education devoted to new technologies in Europe. The specific problem addressed by the project concerns training curriculum in mobile technology – Symbian OS. At the moment such trainings are accessible only in a few European countries located in the north-west of the continent. The main goal set up by the project is assuring better access to the vocational training in this field. This will be done by transfer of training methodology from training centres existing in Europe, developing training programmes unique for every partner, assuring creation of new training centres in South and Central Europe, securing first qualified group of trainers and training materials. In more general dimension, the project will contribute to the development of knowledge-based society and competitiveness of economy.

This project, funded by the Minalogic competitiveness cluster, focused on innovations in energy efficiency: monitoring the electricity consumption of an industrial or commercial installation without any external power supply. Sensors and displays harvest their energy unobtrusively and communicate over very low-power radio. SAMEE was a multidisciplinary research project bringing together eight partners, mostly from the Grenoble area. Within it, the Drakkar team at LIG was responsible for the networking aspects.

EU IST WIP 2005–2009

Mon, 02 Jun 2008 00:00:00 +0000

WIP website

We propose to study how to build an all-wireless Internet that could grow and gradually replace the existing Internet. In our vision, the access points of unlicensed cellular networks cooperate to create a wireless communication infrastructure. Such a wireless network must be self-organizing to maximize the network capacity and capabilities. Ultimately, the all-wireless interconnection of cooperating access points will only require limited connectivity to the wired infrastructure. We call this all-wireless infrastructure the Radio Internet. The goal of the project is to study how to make the Radio Internet become a reality with an Internet-like growth towards a scalable and robust communication infrastructure.

S4ALL 2004–2007

Mon, 31 Dec 2007 00:00:00 +0000

Different factors have been contributing to the well known (and ever growing) success of the Internet. It is quite easy to write own “pages“ as many easy-to-use editing graphical tools exist todays. Even more easy is the deployment of these pages on the global “World Wide Web“ as many alternatives are offered to you, ranging from uploading them to an ISP to the home made hosting using open source tools as Apache. The WWW at the same time plays more and more the role of a front end to business specific processes – a.k.a. E-services – as it is quite easy to connect to an ISP and go to a dedicated web page giving access to train reservation, energy consumption, etc… Such services are also invokable by other business processes using the “web-service“ paradigm. We want this same success story to happen again with mobile services as the ultimate mean to ease inter-person communication, to facilitate the everyday life and to create, share and access services, content with the whole community. Indeed, one way to boost the service market in Europe consists of: providing Open Source based application supporting infrastructure that can be used by all on the PC at home, on the mobile phone on the move or at the big actor side (Telco, ISP, manufacturers); pushing the creation power to any one’s hand providing then any one with either new business opportunity or the capability to share services with the community and to extend his/her communication sphere; decreasing time to market for professional actors (service providers, industries) by providing easy-to-use creation tools and development environment and fast service deployment.

Mesh networks constitute a key technological and economical challenge, and a first step toward ambient network, required to develop ubiquitous computing. Mesh networks use the entire wireless structure of ad hoc networks, aim at covering a whole area, like sensor networks, and entirely maintained by a telco who wants to offer a quality of service to its users.

The RNRT ARESA project is funded by the french agency of research (ANR - Agence Nationale de la Recherche). Started in June 2006, it will finish in May 2009. This project is managed by France Telecom R&D.

ARESA is focused on large scale wireless sensor networks distributed in a monitoring area. Because the sensor nodes are autonomous, they should preserve their energy during processing, communication, etc. Finally, the energy is the key problem and this is considered in the different working packages of the project.

RNRT AIRNET 2006–2009

Fri, 02 Jun 2006 00:00:00 +0000

AIRNET website

The aim of this project was to study how to design and build an interconnection infrastructure resting entirely on wireless local networks operating in a public frequency band. The motivation came from an observation: 802.11 (Wi-Fi) networks were being deployed steadily in densely populated areas, offering access to the global Internet through access points. That deployment was spontaneous, and for the time being there was neither coordination nor collaboration between covered areas — access points belonging to different operators, for instance, did not talk to each other. Imagine instead an interconnection infrastructure in which a new access point dynamically joins the set of existing ones and takes part in multi-hop packet relaying to extend coverage. The building blocks of such an architecture can be Wi-Fi access points in the traditional sense, but also mobile hosts willing to play an active part in communication, as in ad hoc networks. Much as Ethernet contributed to the spontaneous growth of the early Internet, we believed that dynamically interconnecting wireless access points could change the communication paradigm profoundly: the spontaneous wireless infrastructure becomes the core of the interconnection network and offers users an ordinary mobile communication service.

SAFARI set out to design, combine and build the protocol and software infrastructure needed for transparent access, automatic configuration, integration and adaptation of services over an ad hoc IPv6 network that also includes wired access. Its contribution was the design of novel protocol and software solutions, built on established standards (IPv6, multicast, application proxies, programmable networks, and others), able to cope with change both in the network infrastructure and in the availability and continuity of services.

jDHCPv6 2005

Sat, 31 Dec 2005 00:00:00 +0000

DHCPv6 is a protocol for stateful configuration of IPv6 devices that passes network addresses and other configuration information to IPv6 nodes. In this project we are implementing pure Java DHCPv6 server and client.

We have designed and implemented DHCPv6 following multiple objectives:

suitability of Java: our project set out to test Java as a platform for building pieces of the core networking infrastructure.
modularity and seamless extensibility: DHCPv6 is seen as a generic framework for configuration in which protocol options allows extending functionality. They can be developed independently of the core implementation, packaged as jar files, and made instantly fully operational in a running client or a server.
easy configuration: the behavior of a server can be easily configured via various configuration front-ends: command line, graphical, or Web based (no error prone modification of configuration files). Each option embeds its configuration module.
pluggable storage back-end: configuration information and operational policies are stored and accessed through a generic permanent storage interface; various back-ends can be used as actual storage: a DBMS or flat files.
multithreaded and fully dynamic: multiple threads handle requests, replies, and configuration tasks; they can be managed while the server is online.

This project, which began on 1 March 2001, followed on from @IRS. Our part concerned fixed/mobile integration: how to reach your applications and data over the Internet whatever the place and the mode of access. In particular we studied how to integrate quality-of-service and mobility mechanisms into heterogeneous wireless networks: 802.11, Bluetooth and GPRS.

PINAS 2001

Tue, 31 Jul 2001 00:00:00 +0000

This work, which set out to design and build a cooperative environment, began with a study of the principles that should guide future cooperative editing systems for the Web. The resulting cooperative editing environment, AllianceWeb, let Internet users move from consuming information to producing it: authors spread across the Internet cooperate on shared, distributed and replicated documents. That first cooperative application revealed what support cooperative work on the Web actually requires, and the research then turned to middleware infrastructures for such support. The work focused on the design and development of the PIÑAS platform, a generic middleware built on top of Web technology providing replication, update and consistency of objects — whether modified as a whole or fragment by fragment — under a range of policies suited to the nature of each object, together with support for nomadic and degraded-mode working.

We took part in @IRS: Architecture Intégrée de Réseaux et Services, supported both by the RNRT (Réseau National de Recherches en Télécommunications) and by the CNRS Telecommunications Programme. It was a substantial project, with a total cost of around 20 MF. @IRS set out to develop and experiment with next-generation Internet protocols and the functions that go with them, so as to offer users services matched to their needs whatever the point of access, fixed or mobile, and to take advantage of an increasingly capable and heterogeneous telecommunication infrastructure (ATM, satellite, wireless networks, local networks).

IPv6 1998–2001

Fri, 31 Jul 1998 00:00:00 +0000

The IPv6 project demonstrated the value of letting the Internet protocols evolve. Its outlook was twofold: making IPv6 available to the academic community by taking part in the national Renater network’s IPv6 deployment project, and putting the expertise gained to use, as project members joined international manufacturers (Sun) or took part in other local and national research projects. We developed parts of the software needed for our experiments, and in doing so set up a collaboration with the IPv6 effort at INRIA-Rocquencourt. That cooperation led to several joint software deposits with the Agence pour la Protection des Programmes. The software was sold by INRIA to Bull and became the basis of the IPv6 stack for AIX on IBM and Bull systems. We also signed an agreement with Bull allowing them to use the test platform for their own work on the AIX IPv6 stack.
