A boost for software development
To better publicize INRIA’s activity in software development,
the Institute has set up a call for proposals entitled "Software Development
Operations" at the beginning of 2001. This initiative aims at supporting
the INRIA teams involved in quality software development and making
sure their products are widely distributed under all terms-open source
or commercial license granting. Among the means granted to reach this
goal are new positions at the disposal of the research teams. Young
graduates looking for an initial professional experience in applied
research, industry specialists or scientists from other civil service
bodies, may apply for these positions.

INRIA at the origin of a new standard
The steering committee of IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force)-the
standardization body of the Internet- has accepted as "proposed standard"
the definition of a tunneling protocol to use satellite links as Internet
traffic supports. This event from the UDLR (UniDirectional Link Routing)
IETF work group, distinguishes the work of the INRIA researchers who
are at the origin of this research, Walid Dabbous (project Planète)
and Emmanuel Duros (UDCast). The solution proposed by these researchers
is based on an encapsulation mechanism that emulates a bidirectional
broadcast link on top of a satellite link. This technology has already
been tested for interoperability and is now being brought to industrial
standards by UDCast, a startup stemming from INRIA.
