Distribcom is a Joint INRIA / ENS / CNRS project Team of IRISA. 

The DistribCom team addresses models and algorithms for distributed network and service management, and the distributed management of Web services and business processes

Objectives

• Distributed and autonomic  management of distributed systems, with a focus on quantitative aspects (costs, likelihoods, time...)
• Formal techniques for Web services & Orchestrations 
• Security : privacy, information flows

Research directions

• Fundamentals aspects of true concurrency models

• Fundamentals of distributed observation and supervision of concurrent systems
• Distributed optimization and planning
• Automatic model construction for large systems

• Quality of service for Orchestrations & choreographies
• Combination of data and workflows, document based workflow management

• Distributed control & games  of  imperfect information for privacy and security
