Metadata for a better understanding of the past
2014 marks the centenary of the First World War. But how can such an event be commemorated when the relevant historical resources are scattered throughout the whole of Europe and historians have not yet been able to conduct an exhaustive study of all of them? Laurent Romary explains how, with the CENDARI project, computational sciences can provide a solution to this problem and come to the aid of all social sciences.

Research teams
Cryptography and coding for greater digital security
Inria's dynamic approach to science is due in part to its policy of regularly renewing its project teams. Indeed, every four to eight years, the teams must present a new research project. This offers an opportunity to come up with a new theme, a new team leader, a new name, new profiles, etc. A few months after the Tanc team evolved to form the Grace research project, we met with Daniel Augot, the new team leader, to discuss the implications of this change.

A productive partnership based on high performance computing
As the fifth workshop of the Inria-Urbana-Champaign joint lab (Joint Laboratory on Petascale Computing-JLPC) came to an end in Grenoble, Franck Cappello, its co-director, took stock of the activities of this institution dedicated to high-performance computing. Two years after its creation, it was now time to review its most emblematic results and to present its current research on climate and the international G8 Exascale project, with which the joint laboratory is associated.

Research
Revolutionising the relationship between man and machine
Research into human-computer interaction has been an area of significant growth in the last decade. From multipoint touch screens to assistance for the disabled and media for interpreting large volumes of data, this research aims to revolutionise the relationship between men and machines. Inria has invested in the area with 5 teams that make the institute one of today's biggest human-computer interaction research centres.
