The ARLES INRIA project-team investigates solutions to architecture-based development of distributed systems, in order to support the composition of systems offering quality properties (also referred to as non-functional properties) to users. In that context, we study the definition of languages, methods, tools and supporting middleware infrastructures, which ease the development of distributed systems by offering solutions to automated design, analysis and construction of systems.

Our current research work is more specifically centered around the development of distributed systems enabling pervasive computing and in particular ambient intelligence applications. Towards that goal, we are conducting research in the two following complementary areas:

  • Architecture-based development of distributed systems, focusing in particular on the dynamic composition of distributed systems from architecture description.
  • Middleware infrastructures enabling ambient intelligence in the hybrid network, dealing in particular with resource constraints of wireless devices and exploitation of heterogeneous wireless networks, from ad hoc to infrastructure-based, networks, and experimenting with service-oriented architectures.
