- Common research focuses on human needs in all contexts of
communications - human to human, human to machine, system or
platform, as well as intra and inter machine, system and
platform
- Nokia and Inria share expertise on information theory, machine
learning, graph theory, game theory, cybersecurity, network
virtualization and advanced control software
- Common lab links permanent researchers from the two partners
with PhD students and postdoctoral researchers
Paris, France - Nokia and Inria today announced the renewal
of their joint lab for a four-year period. The announcement took
place during an event celebrating the 50th anniversary of Inria
with Marcus Weldon, Nokia CTO and Nokia Bell Labs President, and
Antoine Petit, Inria CEO.
Launched in 2008, the joint lab associates permanent researchers
from the two partners with PhD students and postdoctoral
researchers, sharing the same strategic vision to solve the key
scientific challenges linked to the evolution of networks and
network applications. The aim of this joint research is to offer
users the benefits from required network and cloud resources for a
contextual and personalized experience of the digital connected
world.
The future networks will have to manage a multitude of connected
objects, to host and interconnect massively distributed functions,
to feature an unprecedented agility to support differentiated and
demanding use cases like the connected car, industry 4.0, smart
city and e-health. This will require strong guarantees in terms of
security and privacy, while hiding the complexity through a high
level of automation. To achieve this aim, this new phase of the
common lab will associate advanced research in information theory,
machine learning, graph theory, game theory, cybersecurity, network
virtualization and advanced control software.
The scope of the collaboration covers several research actions
dedicated to:
- Information theory and algorithms to solve the challenges of
IoT
- Analytics and machine learning to dynamically and automatically
optimize the virtualized network
- Scalable distributed learning and control for augmented
intelligence to operate complex IoT networks of dynamic
elements
- Cybersecurity to provide privacy, data integrity and resilience
against intrusions
Marcus Weldon, Nokia Chief Technical Officer and Nokia Bell
Labs President, said: "Nokia Bell Labs collaborates with the
best academic teams in the world on solving the key technical
challenges confronting humankind. Together, Inria and Bell Labs are
collaborators and co-pioneers in this endeavor, with a rich and
fruitful relationship over the past 20 years. We have even higher
expectations and plans for our future collaboration via our common
laboratory centered on addressing the fundamental challenges of
humans in the future connected world."
Antoine Petit, Inria CEO, added "Inria
develops the whole scope from research to applications in the area
of computer science and applied mathematics. With leading
companies, we operate joint labs that are focused on long term
cooperation. With Nokia Bell Labs we develop technologies that will
power the future of networks and telecommunication. Our common goal
is to produce new scientific results as well as new innovations
that can enrich the technologies and products developed by Nokia.
It is the DNA of Inria to go from high level research to industrial
applications."
