Our research interests are in the two wide domains of artificial intelligence and networking. Here is a list of the currently active research project. We could accept new students to work on any of these projects and we would be glad to start new projects with motivated students.


Software Agent Imitation (Michael Floyd is currently leading this project)
Robocup is used as a platform for experimenting with building agents who imitate other agents, using case-based reasoning.

Hybrid Operating System Discovery (François Gagnon is currently leading this project)
HOSD aims to unify the two classical approaches to operating system discovery, namely passive and active, into a single hybrid framework.

Peer 2 Peer Networking (Alan Davoust is currently leading this project)
Universal Peer-to-Peer (U-P2P) is a framework for sharing data over existing peer-to-peer networks, that provides a rich layering of meta-data and user-extensibility on top of the traditionally closed peer systems.
As a sub-project we are applying our framework to build a distributed wiki, where users share the wiki pages in a P2P network. See Alex's presentation of the project.
See the Sourceforge project page.

Virtual Network Experiment Controller (François Gagnon is currently leading this project)
VNEC is an environment to specify, configure, and control a virtual network in order to run experiments that are too costly or too risky to be executed on a real physical network.
