Montreal, Canada
The CITI has been collaborating with this engineering school for a long time both in the area of networking and software engineering. Prof. John Mullins was Visiting Professor at the CITI for one year in 2006 to work on security and Prof. F. Valois from the CITI visited S. Pierre for 3 months in 2007 to work on sensor networks protocols.
LIAMA

Beijing, China
The CITI laboratory has set up a strong collaboration with the Sino French laboratory LIAMA of Beijing, China since 2005. This cooperation is supported by a Sino French Advance Research Program and led to several short and long term exchanges of researchers. The aim of the collaboration is the modelling of a sensor network application with techniques from data bases and knowledge management.
Laboratory of Wireless and Sensor Networks
 |
Shanghai, China
The CITI has set up collaboration with Pr. Minyou Wu, the director of the WnSN Lab of SEIEE, Shanghai JiaoTong University. This collaboration led to several seminaries at WnSN on 2007 and 2008 by CITI members and an ongoing STIC-ASIA project preparation. Jia-Liang LU, former Ph.D. from CITI is currently working as a Post-Doc at WnSN for two years. Fabrice Valois has spent several shortstays at WnSN for research purpose.
Orange Lab

Beijing, China
The collaboration with Orange Lab Beijing began with the Ph.D. of Jia-Liang LU in 2004. The work program is in the scope of wireless sensor and led to several scientifi c results, including 2 journal papers and one patent. Several short and long stays of CITI members in Orange Lab Beijing occured during the last 3 years.
