Laboratory for Analysis and Architecture of Systems

The LAAS CNRS Carnot Institute is one of the major research

laboratories attached to the INS2I and INSIS institutes of CNRS.

Skills developed at LAAS cover the entire spectrum of

Information and Communications Technology, and System

Engineering. Attached to both the investigation of forefront

topics and the promotion of integrated solutions, LAAS

tackles the challenges posed by two categories of emerging

systems and services: cyber-physical systems and ambient

intelligence, and micro and nanotechnologies for the living

organisms and the environment.
