DigiCosme
Being part of University Paris-Saclay, DigiCosme brings together researchers from 11 higher
education and research institutions, namely CEA, CNRS, Ecole Polytechnique, Ecole Centrale Paris,
ENS Cachan, ENSTA ParisTech, Inria, Institut Mines-Télécom, Supélec,
Université Paris-Sud, and Université Versailles St Quentin. This so-called
«Excellence Laboratory» center (LabEx) gathers the major French An integrated research,
academic players in the field of Information and Communications
training and innovation
Science and Technology (ICST), and will help them to establish tight
programme aimed at
cooperation.
ICST fluency
DigiCosme goal is to support the digital revolution in a sustainable
way, enforcing safe and efficient software and communication,
handling ever bigger data, and deploying social intelligence. More generally, DigiCosme aims at
facing the key challenges at the core of scientific, industrial and sociological advances in the XXIst
century.
challenges
Cognitive networks
The advances in communication
technologies, enforcing pervasive and
mobile access to information, are at
the forefront of the digital revolution.
The next frontier is to ensure the
decentralized and autonomous
optimization of the communication
network, based on the cooperative
self-reconfiguration of all involved
processes, in a coupled top-down and
bottom-up perspective.
DigiCosme takes on
the three challenges of
the digital revolution
Data intelligence
DigiCosme mission covers research, education and innovation:
Research
DigiCosme research focuses on fundamental issues related to software, data and communications,
including:
 Software proof and certification
 Models, architectures and tools for very large scale communication
 Massive data management,
 Knowledge extraction and machine learning
 Human-Machine collaborative Interaction
Sustainable software
Education
DigiCosme offers a comprehensive education program, from undergraduate to doctorate levels,
providing students with every formal background required to address the scientific, technological,
social and economic challenges of the Information Age.
Specific IT curriculum will be offered to students in Engineering schools (Year 3) and graduate students
(Master level), to foster the cross-fertilization of engineering and academic training, and boost the
number of engineers obtaining a PhD within DigiCosme Labs.
The DigiCosme Merit Fellowship (DMF) Program offers grants to Master and PhD students, on the
basis of an open competition to select the best candidates. DigiCosme provides equal opportunity
for all candidates, and equally encourages both genders to apply.
In order to face the data avalanche,
one needs developing a sixth sense:
Data Sense. Datasense, meant to
support refined decision-making,
requires principled advances in
machine learning, visualization and
use of prior knowledge. Datasense
also relies on, and requires, new
ways of achieving data accessibility
and safety in demanding,
distributed and possibly malicious
environments.
Errors/bugs in modern software
have impacts of all kinds, up to
social chaos or economic collapse.
The challenge is to design principled
methodologies, improving distributed
software sustainability and ensuring its
robustness with respect to malicious
attacks.
Innovation
DigiCosme scientific community benefits from its critical mass, matching that of the best international
campuses in the Information and Communication field. It also benefits from
tight links with other disciplines, including mathematics, physics, biology and
High profile,
humanities, and with a large number of high-tech large companies and spinhigh diversity offs on the Plateau de Saclay.
This multi-disciplinary environment is expected to foster the knowledge transfer among labs, and
between labs and industries, and facilitate the inception of innovative systems and devices, in
particular related to Data Democracy.
