Research and projects

CAIRN (IRISA project)

Computing architectures with embedded reconfigurable resources: towards energy-efficient system-on-chip

Context and objectives

The CAIRN team does research in reconfigurable system-on-chip, i.e. hardware systems whose configuration may change before or even during execution. CAIRN does research into reconfigurable architectures from three angles: the invention of new reconfigurable platforms, the development of associated transformation, compilation and synthesis tools, and the exploration of the interaction between algorithms and architectures.

PILGRIM (IRISA project)

Gradedness, Imprecision and Data Mediation in Database Management Systems.

Context and objectives

Most of the research work in the database domain is based on a twofold hypothesis that data are precisely known and that queries only involve Boolean criteria. The objective of the Pilgrim project is to relax these assumptions by taking into account imprecise data and flexible queries.

FOTON Laboratory

The CNRS associated laboratory Foton  (Fonctions Optiques pour les Technologies de l’InformatiON) develops research  in the towns of Lannion, Rennes and Brest. The laboratory develops research topics in the engineering of optical functions for information technologies covering a very broad area from material to optical telecommunication networks modelling. It  benefits  from  strong  interactions  with local  companies  and  SME‘s,  some  of  them  are  spin-off‘s  from  Foton.  It is involved in various national programs (ANR) and European projects.  In Lannion, 50 researchers are working in the area of optical functions. Foton includes several research groups. Several of them are involved in optical signal processing for telecommunication networks, laser physics and optical function based on microresonators. Other are working in the area of optical sensing for biology and medical applications. In the lab there are two research groups in platforms:  CCLO (with two clean rooms) and PERSYST. These platforms have their main activities directed towards technological researches in lightwave integrated circuits, for optical coupling techniques, and, in characterizations for the testing and research on optical telecommunications systems at high bit rate.
