Welcome to LIAFA

The LIAFA (Laboratoire d'Informatique Algorithmique: Fondements et Applications) is supported jointly by the French National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS) and by the University Paris Diderot - Paris 7.
On January 1st, 2016, LIAFA has merged with PPS to create IRIF: Institut de Recherche en Informatique Fondamentale.

The main research topics addressed by LIAFA are related to theoretical computer science. They are tackled by the following five research teams of LIAFA: Algorithms and complexity, Automata and applications, Combinatorics, Distributed algorithms and graphs, and Modeling and verification.

World diameter12/10/2015 - The diameter or the worldwide road network computed by the Distributed algorithms and graphs team
Computing the two points that are furthest apart one from another is quadratic in general. However the techniques developped in the team have enabled the computation of the longest road trip in the world... (Map at http://gang.inria.fr/road).

Mai Gehrke01/09/2015 - Mai Gehrke awarded ERC Advanced Grant 2015
The project DuaLL is about duality in Formal Languages and Logic, adopting a unifying approach to complexity and semantics. Dualities between algebraic and topological structure are pervasive in mathematics, and toggling back and forth between them has often been associated with important breakthroughs. The main objective of this project is to bring such topo-algebraic dualities to bear on a number of subjects in theoretical computer science thereby advancing, systematizing, and unifying them.

Amos Korman01/07/2015 - Amos Korman awarded ERC Consolidated Grant 2015
The interdisciplinary project Distributed Biological Algorithms (DBA) aims at demonstrating the usefulness of a distributed algorithmic perspective in understanding complex biological systems. The focus is on the biology domain of collective animal behaviour. The project suggests new methodologies for combining theoretical algorithmic results with experimental measurements of biological parameters. (Translated from the CNRS website)
