Dynamid
Dynamid is a research team focused on dynamid software and distributed systems.
We are part of the CITI Laboratory at INSA Lyon, France.
Our research
Dynamic Environments
Several environments are emerging, all with high dynamic properties:
- Internet of Things - with e.g. the dynamic discovery and adaptation to different hardware
- Smart Cities - with e.g. the dynamic trafic and energy management
- Smart Buildings and Houses - with e.g. the dynamic user-adapted light and heating control
- Vehicular Networks - with e.g. the dynamic, autonomic driveless guidance
- Mobile Cloud Computing - with e.g. the dynamic provisioning and load-balancing service management.
Hot Research Topics
We focus on designing Integrated Software Systems, especially System of Systems and Middleware, including specific programming languages, operating systems, virtual machines, service-oriented architectures, distributed systems to tackle at runtime the dynamic nature of these environments. Our software development process and platforms particularly focus on two major issues:
- Adaptive in the Small
- Context-aware Domain Specific Languages
- Context-aware Primitives
- User Profiling and Adapting
- Heterogeneous Hardware / Software-specialization
- Adaptive Virtual Machines
- Performant
- Multi-tenant
- Embedded
- Run-time Evolving
- Context-aware Domain Specific Languages
- Autonomous and Collaborative in the Large
- Autonomous Distributed Architectures and Algorithms
- Self-organizing
- Collaborative
- Scalable
- Long-life Living
- Distributed Decision and Artificial Intelligence
- Optimization and Planning
- Autonomous Multi-Agent Systems
- Bio-inspired algorithms
- Distributed Consensus
- Autonomous and Resilient Systems
- Spontaneous Integration
- Formal Description Discovery
- Run-time Checking, Monitoring, Negotiation, Substitution
- Self-healing
- Autonomous Distributed Architectures and Algorithms
