System Integration and Design Laboratory
The research activities conducted at LCIS are primarily focused on embedded and communicating systems. The themes addressed include specification, modeling, design, communication, safety, security, and diagnostics of these systems. Within these various themes, the laboratory proposes new methods and models and develops tools that impact industrial applications.

Our research teams
ORSYS - Communicating Wireless RF Systems
The research developed within the ORSYS team focuses on the use of radiofrequency (RF) technologies and signals, wireless communication, signal processing, and measurement.
ORSYS is particularly interested in passive information transmission systems based on the principles of backscattering and back-modulation of electromagnetic waves. Among the systems studied are wireless/contactless systems such as RFID technologies and Ultra-Wideband (UWB).
CO4SYS - Coordination, Cooperation, and Control of Complex Systems
The CO4SYS team works on the modeling, control, and supervision of artificial complex systems.
The team is interested in physically distributed multi-agent systems, where agents with reactive and cognitive capabilities coexist, needing to find compromises between potentially incompatible local and global objectives. These agents reason with partial knowledge of the overall system and must ensure dynamic and insecure routing of communication. This paradigm allows the integration of complementary approaches from collective artificial intelligence and control theory.
CTSYS - Safety and Security of Embedded and Distributed Systems
The CTSYS team consists of researchers from various disciplines (electronics, computer science, telecommunications) who study the different elements of embedded systems: from the hardware to the applications, with particular attention to the interaction between hardware and software.
The main application areas of the team’s research are: the Internet of Things (including RFID systems), sensor networks, Smart-* environments (Home, Building, Car, etc.), and the transportation industry.
