Areas of expertise
|
|
Embedded
systems, Dedicated digital systems and FPGA-bases systems Modeling, design and implementation of hardware &
software systems adapted for various applications in industrial,
medical and security domains. Research
themes: development of portable
medical devices, random number
generators, cryptographic applications,
techniques for encoding / decoding
on reconfigurable FPGA architecture, FPGA
accelerators and optimized functional units. |
|
|
Real-time systems: Modeling, design, simulation and implementation of systems and applications in which time plays a significant
role. Research themes: scheduling
strategies for tasks and communication on parallel and distributed infrastructure, response time analysis, feasibility of real-time systems, optimization
of tasks execution in terms of response
time. |
|
|
eHealth systems: Design and
implementation of distributed medical information
systems. Research themes: efficient
management of medical information, remote monitoring of patients and integration of mobile medical devices into distributed
medical services. |
|
|
Real random number generators: Real random
generator is based on the exploitation of physical phenomena known for their
intrinsic random nature (eg quantum phenomena).
Generators developed in our laboratory using certain physical properties of
FPGA devices to collect real entropy. Random number generators (both real and pseudo
random) require extensive testing to
increase our confidence in their quality. Classical testing methods are
based on statistical tests (NIST,
Diehard, TestU01)
but there are other methods developed
in our laboratory. |
|
|
Digital Libraries: Design and
implementation of digital content management systems. Research themes: efficient search algorithms, classification and storage of digital content, automatic annotation techniques, information retrieval and harvesting, ontologies. |
