Teams

All researchers are member of either AMAZONES INRIA Team or SWING INRIA Team both hosted in the CITI Laboratory.


AMAZONES
 SWING
AMAZONES means Ambient Middleware Architectures: Service-Oriented, Networked, Efficient and Secured. This INRIA Team aims at modelling, designing and implementing software methods and tools for the development of ambient intelligent applications. The SWING INRIA Team aims at supporting the extensive spawning of radio systems thanks to spontaneous, cooperative and self-organization mechanisms having to offer more capacity, subject to latency, energy and multiple QoS constraints.

INRIA in brief

INRIA's ambition is to be a world player, a research institute at the heart of the information society.

INRIA, the French national institute for research in computer science and control, operating under the dual authority of the Ministry of Research and the Ministry of Industry, is dedicated to fundamental and applied research in information and communication science and technology (ICST). The Institute also plays a major role in technology transfer by fostering training through research, diffusion of scientific and technical information, development, as well as providing expert advice and participating in international programs.

By playing a leading role in the scientific community in the field and being in close contact with industry, INRIA is a major participant in the development of ICST in France. Throughout its eight research centres in Rocquencourt, Rennes, Sophia Antipolis, Grenoble, Nancy, Bordeaux, Lille and Saclay, INRIA has a workforce of 3 800, 2 800 of whom are scientists from INRIA and INRIA's partner organizations such as CNRS (the French National Center for Scientific Research), universities and leading engineering schools. They work in 150 joint research project-teams. Many INRIA researchers are also professors and approximately 1 000 doctoral students work on theses as part of INRIA research project-teams.

INRIA develops many partnerships with industry and fosters technology transfer and company foundation in the field of ICST - some ninety companies have been founded with the support of INRIA-Transfert, a subsidiary of INRIA, specialized in guiding, evaluating, qualifying, and financing innovative high-tech IT start-up companies. INRIA is involved in standardization committees such as the IETF, ISO and the W3C of which INRIA was the European host from 1995 to 2002.

INRIA maintains important international relations and exchanges. In Europe, INRIA is a member of ERCIM which brings together research institutes from 19 European countries. INRIA is a partner in about 120 FP6 actions and 40 FP7 actions, mainly in the ICST field. INRIA also collaborates with numerous scientific and academic institutions abroad (joint laboratories such as LIAMA, associated research teams, training and internship programs).

INRIA has an annual budget of 186 million Euros, 20% of which comes from its own research contracts and development products

The Institute's strategy closely combines scientific excellence with technology transfer. INRIA's major goal for 2008-2012 is to achieve scientific and technological breakthroughs in seven priority domains:
