Flaubert and the power of images – FLIM (FLaubert IMages)
he project “Gustave Flaubert and the power of images” is in alignment with a previous research project (“Fractal”: “Flaubert: Religions, Antiquity, Creation”) that addressed the implication of religions, mythography and Antiquity in the writing processes. The aim is to define both the visual paradi
Green Dynamic Spectrum Aggregation – Green-Dyspan
The proliferation of wireless mobile networks and the ever-increasing density of wireless devices underscore the necessity for efficient allocation and sharing of the radio spectrum resource. Traditional wireless communication techniques support exclusively the utilization of continuous spectrum ban
Coordination and Computation in distributed intelligent MEMS – CO²Dim
The objective of CO2Dim raises different scientific challenges. The first concerns the proposition of an extensible distributed programming model that can handle millions of distributed nodes. This challenge was solved with a software environment whose language, compiler and virtual machine can hand
Tactilo-aural feedback for electronic document acces – ART-ADN
Notre idée est de générer automatiquement, à partir du Web, des « pages vibrantes » basées sur une transformation intelligente des contrastes lumineux émis par l’écran en vibrations tactiles basses-fréquences. Les différentes étapes de ce processus sont : ?- l’extraction de la structure visuelle de
Development of an intelligent electromyostimulator for muscular conditioning – ELECSTIM
The purpose of this project is to develop a new tool for retraining the neuromuscular function in order to improve the effectiveness of strength training sesssions. This smart electromyostimulator using both electromyography (EMG) and electrostimulation (EMS) techniques enable to adapt in real time
Intelligent DEsign of Future mobile Internet for enhanced eXperience – IDEFIX
aMobile networks are rapidly evolving towards new technologies characterized by an increasingly sophisticated radio interface, always with the aim of higher bit rates and ubiquitous coverage. This rapid network evolution is driven by the explosion of mobile traffic; a tendency that is not only predi
Cognitive Systems with Stochastic Spintronics Devices – CogniSpin
This project aims at using magnetic RAM devices in an original probabilistic regime, to demonstrate low-power cognitive-type applications. In recent years, research on using memory nanodevices as “synapses” (the connections in the brain) has largely boomed, with studies both on the device and on the
Visual Seek for Interactive Image Retrieval – VISIIR
VISIIR is a project aiming at exploring new methods for semantic image annotation. This topic is extensively studied for more than a decade now due to its large number of applications in areas as diverse as Information Retrieval, Computer Vision, Image Processing, and Artificial Intelligence. Semant
Toward the therapy of AUNA1 auditory neuropathy – Diaphanous
Our project consists in characterizing the AUNA1 auditory neuropathy mice model, in deciphering the Diaph3 signaling pathways and in developing rescue strategies in the transgenic mice. Our preliminary result shows that the two transgenic lines overexpressing Diaph3 protein, display progressive thre
Moving and Computing: Agents, Robots and Networks – MACARON
There is an emerging trend in robotics : rather than by a few bulky robots, certain tasks can be performed by tiny robots, each with very limited capabilities. This trend is similar to the less recent trend about sensor networks, with sensors that are also of limited capabilities but deployed in hu
