Zigbox PROJECT 2008 Sensor networks and embedded communication platforms are currently gaining a fascinating interest in a wide range of applications where interactions with the environment play a critical role; it is the case for example with telemetry, remote maintenance, environmental monitoring, home automation, etc. The project aims at developing a generic and reliable framework based on SDIO which will support any ' standard or proprietary - radio sensor network protocols and to provide interoperability with the Internet via wireless communication networks (GSM/GPRS/UMTS). The development will enhance the ongoing Netbox development at NetModule which will provide a SDIO host interface.

MydeskPerso PROJECT
2008
The very fast current development of the market of the playful robots opens the door to products which propose richer and elaborated interactions between man and the artificial companions. Advanced technologies, stemming from fields as the artificial intelligence, are necessary to support the development of these new products.
The project aims at developing an engine of artificial personality by using the high technologies, as the networks of neurones or the genetic algorithms. This engine has to allow, among others, the differentiation and the evolution of the behavior of an artificial companion in the course of time and according to the interactions with the users.

CTI-DMSS PROJECT
2008
The purpose of this project is to realize a device which can make wireless synchronized dimensional measures. The wireless transmission facilitates the assembly(editing) of the device of measure and meet such a demand of the market. The data transmission between equipment and basic station(resort) has to be made in a synchronized and highly reliable way.

FASTPricer PROJECT
2008
Financial business has a growing need for computational performances in order to price new complex instruments (MBS, CDO, etc) requiring more and more processing time. To sustain this demand upgrading servers, or adding computers to farms would not be enough. Other specific solutions must be found to address the appetite for CPU intensive algorithms.
The aim of the project is to develop a prototype of a reconfigurable arithmetic accelerating board based on FPGA able to perform fast pricing of the synthetic CDO instrument. Besides this main goal, the project aims at exploring the usage of FPGA acceleration boards in finance applications on a broader scale.

NavMedia PROJECT
2008
Marketing process optimization is a challenge for global companies. The marketing department shares a myriad of images dispersed on various servers, cd's and individual user computers. The search for images is devouring lots of time which is in turn missing to complete other activities. This project aims to develop an innovative software for large-database image-exploration based upon a mapping metaphor. The expected result is a 3D map embedded into our portal to search images without keywords but using a natural interface based on color, shape and textures.
