ASTRI and INRIA form partnership on ICT research

Hong Kong Applied Science and Technology Research Institute (ASTRI) has recently formed an international partnership with the French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (Institut national de recherche en informatique et en automatique, or INRIA) in the area of information and communication technologies (ICT).

Under the INRIA International Partnership, ASTRI’s Embedded Systems group and INRIA’s TEA (Time, Events and Architectures) team will have active international collaboration on “Virtual Prototyping of Embedded Software Architectures.”

“According to the European Commission, the embedded ICT market has an estimated value of more than €850 billion world-wide. The next generation of embedded systems will be more intelligent and deeply connected with the information and physical worlds. These embedded systems, also known as Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), will be deployed in the domains of automotive, aerospace, health and energy as well as smart city. However, in order to enable the vision, it would require the evolution and even disruption in the process of how a system should be architectured and built,” said Dr T. John Koo, Director of Embedded Systems group. “Our group at ASTRI will work closely with Dr Jean-Pierre Talpin’s team at INRIA to serve the innovation needs of the industry, while saving the time and cost, in the development of the next generation of embedded systems.”
