LITIS

The LITIS Laboratory (Laboratoire d’Informatique, du Traitement de l’Information et des Systèmes) is a research establishment with experience in Computer Science and Technology, located in the Upper Normandy, France. The laboratory develops coherent approaches to better understand and control the nature of the information and its contextual use. The research focuses on both the theoretical and algorithmic aspects of the implementation, varying from context-aware systems to sensors and databases. The “LITIS approach” is resolutely multidisciplinary, involving practitioners and theorists at the junction of computing, pattern recognition, signal and image processing and mathematics, being partners in many projects.

For the NARECA project, LITIS is involved in the coordination and several research themes.
