French-American Doctoral Exchange Seminar (FADEx) 2016 : Cyber-Physical Systems

arton8401-29079FADEx program encourages scientific exchanges between American and French Ph.D. students working in the same scientific field, and, by doing so, supports the creation of future French-American scientific collaborations.

This year, the program will focus on cyber-physical systems, which are made of co-engineered interacting physical and computational hardware and software components. A broad spectrum of application domains are covered, such as transportation, manufacturing, smart grids, buildings and cities, and healthcare.

Deadline for applications: February 19th, 2016

Topics of interest:

  • Embedded systems
  • Robotics
  • Internet-of-things,
  • Smart devices, infrastructures of augmented reality
  • Reactive systems and synchronous programming
  • Automotive systems
  • Cybersecurity
  • Human-Machine Interaction
  • Ambient Intelligence

Within the framework of the FADEx program, the Office for Science and Technology will invite a group of American Ph.D. candidates to France for a week.

Two seminars will be held in Grenoble and in Rennes

The seminars will allow the US and French Ph.D. students to share their work on cyber-physical systems. Workshops will also be conducted in order to study scientific and technological convergences between the candidates.

A plenary session in Paris

During the week, students will have the opportunity to attend a conference in Paris featuring keynote speakers. Guest researchers will be invited to present their most recent research developments in the cyber-physical systems field.
