Adaptive Fiabilisation of Multi-Agent Cooperative Applications – FACOMA
The possibility of partial failures is a fundamental characteristic of distributed applications. The fault tolerance research community has developped solutions (algorithms and architectures), mostly based on the concept of replication, applied for instance to data bases. But, these techniques are
Shared perception and the sense of reality – SHAREALITY
When we perceive the world, we experience a host of perceptual contents. We see shapes, colours, and movement, experience textures through touch, and hear the timbre and frequency of sounds. But there is more to perception than sensory contents: we also have the feeling that the things we perceive a
Nicotinic modulation of behaviors motivated by natural rewards – NIMONAR
The ventral tegmental area (VTA) is a critical brain region involved in processing reward-related stimuli and plays a pivotal role in various neuropsychiatric disorders, including addiction. VTA dopaminergic neurons transition from tonic to burst firing mode in response to sensory cues predicting re
Molecular movies of nerve agents reacting with their biological targets and antidotes by time-resolved serial synchrotron crystallography. – SerialX-OP
The use of organophosphorus chemical warfare nerve agents (NOPs) has renewed great concerns worldwide since their recent use in Syria (sarin), and in England and Russia where new NOPs were applied (Skripal and Navalny cases). The chemical threat has also regained scientific interest to develop new a
METHODOLOGY FOR ANALYSING THE ELECTROMAGNETIC VULNERABILITY OF AUTONOMOUS ROBOTS – MAVERA
Society as a whole is making increasing use of electronic systems in the broad sense, but also particularly robotics, whether in the context of connected objects, home automation or industrial production. But the drive towards this robotisation of our society is also affecting the armies, which are
ROBOTIC BIOPSY OF THE UTERUS STANDARDIZED TECHNIQUE – ROBUST
Several studies and a FDA report clearly demonstrate the critical importance of a diagnosis tool allowing to differentiate benign and malignant tumours before a uterine minimally-invasive operation. The problem is, among the numerous diagnostic tools used by clinicians to evaluate women with tumour,
Self-Adaptive Technologies for Upgraded Reconfigurable Neural computing – SATURN
The architecture will be based on a totally distributed control, thus more flexible and more robust to unpredicted changes in the system. The system will be doted of self-organisation capabilities allowing the dynamic allocation of computation. The first phase will define the bare mechanisms for the
NEuroMorphic hardwarE for Smart vIsion Sensor – NEMESIS
Smart vision circuits are expected to extract high-level information from visual scenes. The main focus of these intelligent retinas is not to provide the highest image quality, but high level information on the image, and be a building block for object recognition and image understanding with many
New Information Services – NIS
The extraordinary technological progress in information technologies is at the same time creating new industries and disrupting old ones. The importance of these disruptions is well known, but is still understudied by economists. Understanding the new issues requires developing our knowledge on the
Plasticity and Multimodality in Oral Communication for the Deaf – PlasMody
The major goal of the PlasMody project is to better understand the mechanisms of speech perception and production in deaf before and after cochlear implantation. A specific emphasis will be made on the role of multisensory interactions and crossmodal compensation in the access to orality by cochlear
