Context

The project is in the context of the Vilagil (funded by Toulouse Metropole) project at IRIT (http://www.irit.fr) in Toulouse. The host team is SEPIA. The main research topic of the SEPIA team is optimisation of datacenter (multi-objective scheduling).

This project aims at improving mobility using a smart-city approach. A large amount of local information will be harnessed to help proposing to citizens the best paths in the city using multiple mobility means (bikes, buses, metro, cars, …).

The computing infrastructure backing this service is currently centralized, which leads to several type of problems: from a high resource consumption to a single point of failure.

In the context of smart cities, computing infrastructures are geographically distributed.

In our project we will use fog and edge computing to manage distributed applications providing the same service as the centralized one, and running on fixed and mobile entities. The scientific aim of our project consists in mapping the graph of the physical infrastructure with the one of the services to be deployed.

Assignement

The goal of this project is to develop an opportunistic monitoring system. In large cities such as Toulouse a large number of computer are always runing while being mostly idle: the display systems of Bus and Metro station.

The software developped will be a distributed monitoring system, with a low overhead, to reduce its impact on the infrastructure. It will allow then to make models of applications and then to runs simulations of distributed systems.
