Caml |
The project Cristal launched the Consortium Caml, to continue the success story of the Caml language.The Caml Consortium federates the design and development of the Caml language and its programming environment. At the end of 2001, 5 members belong to this consortium : Dassault Aviation, Artisan Components, Flux Media, Lexifi, and the CEA

Carroll |
On Friday 14 March 2003, the CEA, INRIA and THALES launched the
Carroll Common Research Programme concerning software engineering
and middleware technology.
The Carroll Programme addresses eight areas of research in the following
two fields : Model-driven software engineering ; middleware technology.

Gelato |
The INRIA joined the Gelato Federation in February 2003, and is part of the Parallel File Systems, Cluster administration tools, runtime for parallel programming and distributed scheduling focus areas. The institute also contributes an experimentation cluster built around 104 Intel® Itanium® 2 bi-processor machines at 900 MHz interconnected using a Myrinet-2000 network. The involved projects are mainly APACHE and OASIS , PARIS , ReMaP , RESO, SARDES.

Objectweb |
The goal of the ObjectWeb consortium is to provide a set of free software components that would be the analogue for middleware of what Linux is for computer operating systems. This kind of software is in between the operating system and the applications, and facilitates the development of the latter. The consortium was founded by France Télécom R&D, Bull/Evidian and INRIA to continue the development of the Free distributed object application platform. It is widely used for operational applications and for experimenting advanced distributed applications and services, in particular in the field of telecommunications and software for company application development.

Premia |
The consortium PREMIA is devoted to the devlopment of a software for stock option pricing and hedging. The initial software has been developed by the Mathfi project in collaboration with the CERMICS laboratory of the ENPC. At the end of 2001, 7 banks belong to this consortium : BNP-Parisbas, Banque Populaire, Crédit Agricole-Indosuez, Credit Lyonnais Informatique, CDC CIC and EDF Natexis. An option is a financial contract between a buyer and a seller which grants its holder the right to buy or sell an asset at a future date and price specified in advance. What is the value of an option? How to construct a hedging portfolio in order to be able to replicate the option? These are the two fundamental problems of option pricing and hedging. PREMIA features rigorous and documented implementations of the most recent algorithms in the field. The software will be extended to options on interest rates and exchange rates.

Scilab |
Interactive software package for numerical computation, Scilab is
distributed in open source around the world. on 16 May 2003, twelve
organisations (Axs Ingénierie, Cril Technology, CEA, CNES,
Dassault Aviation, EDF, ENPC,
Esterel Technologies, INRIA, PSA Peugeot Citroën, Renault and
Thales) combine their efforts in a consortium, to turn Scilab into
a worldwide reference software for researchers and engineers and
as a privileged link between industrial requirements and scientific
progress. The consortium, which has a dedicated team of developers
will be responsible for the evolution, the development and the promotion
of Scilab.
Since then, it has maintained its popularity with over 10,000 downloads per month from the Scilab website. This success is mainly due to the fact that Scilab is an open system allowing a broad spectrum of use : it provides tools that are of interest to engineering students and research workers alike while having equally significant relevance for experts in other sectors such as the car, aviation, aerospace and chemical industries, the world of finance, etc. Encouraged by these initial successes, INRIA has taken the initiative to gather industrial and academic partners to form a consortium while at the same time intensifying its own commitment to making Scilab a worldwide success.
The creation of the Scilab Consortium, hosted by INRIA, commits to the following goals :

The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) develops interoperable technologies (specifications, guidelines, software, and tools) to lead the Web to its full potential. From its creation in 1994, W3C was hosted by INRIA. In january 2003, INRIA became a member that contributes to recommandations of the standards, mainly for Smil and software development for the Amaya tool.
