Two projects accepted this year involve the Computer Science and Intelligent Systems department of the Fayol Institute. This result reinforces the department’s orientation to develop synergies between its work on knowledge representation and reasoning and that on coordination of autonomous systems.
The HyperAgents Project: Hypermedia for Communities of People and Autonomous Agents
An International Collaborative Research Project (PRCI), its objective is to enable the deployment on the web of hybrid communities of people and autonomous agents. Coordinated by Olivier Boissier, it involves Gauthier Picard, Maxime Lefrançois and Antoine Zimmermann (Computer Science and Intelligent Systems department and members of the Connected Intelligence team of the Hubert Curien Laboratory UMR 5516), several researchers from Inria Sophia Antipolis – Méditerranée, and researchers from the University of St. Gallen in Switzerland (HSG).
A PhD thesis and several internships are planned on the Saint-Étienne campus.

The CoSWoT Project: Semantic Web for Constrained Objects
A Collaborative Research Project – Enterprise (PRCE), it will study how constrained objects of the Internet of Things can embed semantic interoperability techniques and distributed and incremental reasoning. Pilots in smart buildings and digital agriculture are planned.
This project involves researchers from the department, members of the Connected Intelligence team of the Hubert Curien Laboratory UMR 5516 and the territory platform, Maxime Lefrançois (local coordinator), Antoine Zimmermann and Fabien Badeig, the LIRIS CNRS Lyon, INRAE in Clermont-Ferrand, the Hubert-Curien Laboratory in Saint-Étienne and the company Mondeca.
A PhD thesis will be launched in Saint-Étienne within this framework.
The project is led by Frédérique Laforest, INSA Lyon and coordinated at the School by Maxime Lefrançois, Fayol Institute and Connected Intelligence team of the Hubert Curien Laboratory UMR 5516
