DICS – Dependable Information and Communication Systems (2002-2006)
Sans systèmes d’information et de communication fiables, la société de l’information du 21e siècle cesse de fonctionner. Pour contribuer à la stabilité des systèmes d’information et de communication, la fondation Hasler a lancé en 2002 le programme d’encouragement DICS. Les résultats du programme clôturé en 2006 ont été publiés par la maison d’édition Springer.
MMI – Man-Machine Interaction (2004-2008)
Tandis que la performance technique des systèmes d’information augmente continuellement et que les domaines d’application s’élargissent, l’applicabilité pour les utilisateurs est souvent à la traîne. C’est pourquoi le programme MMI, mis en place entre 2004 et 2008, s’est consacré à la conception de nouvelles interfaces conviviales entre l’homme et la machine. Ce programme d’encouragement a exclusivement tenu compte de projets de collaboration de hautes écoles spécialisées et de hautes écoles universitaires, les premières agissant comme institutions responsables. Les résultats du programme ont été publiés par la maison d’édition Springer.
ManCom – Managing Complexity of Information and Communication Systems (2006-2010)
Le programme ManCom (2006 – 2010) a poursuivi la thématique du programme DICS avec l’objectif de mieux maîtriser la complexité des systèmes d’information et de communication afin de pouvoir améliorer leur sécurité et leur fiabilité.
FIT – Fit in Informatik (2006-2015)
La Fondation Hasler a lancé en 2006 son programme d’encouragement FIT – Fit en informatique avec un horizon à dix ans et une dotation de CHF 20 millions, avec pour but d’introduire et d’ancrer une réelle formation en informatique à l’école. La Fondation Hasler a mis officiellement fin à ce programme le 21 avril 2015, des décisions y relatives ayant été prises dans le système de formation suisse. Vous trouverez de plus amples information sur FIT dans le Factsheet et sur le site Web fit-in-it.

SmartWorld – Information and Communication Technology for a Better World (2011-2015)
Information technology provides us with an ever increasing miniaturization of computer technology that comes along with increasing computing power, higher cost-efficiency, larger storage and larger communication bandwidth. At the same time, advances in micro- and nanotechnology result in new sensor devices that allow us to integrate information sensing, processing and communication capabilities into almost all real-world objects. Such a combination of sensing, actuating, communication and computing towards a large scale distributed information system have a huge impact on people’s day-to-day lives and bears the potential of improving the quality of life while making efficient use of natural resources.
On the occasion of a Workshop in March, 2013, the supported 12 projects were introduced:
EasyFlow: Pervasive and Reliable Mesh Networks for Efficient Energy Hubs
MEMOR1ES: Reclaim Your Digital Life
Liquid Software Architectures
Databasing the Brain
Green-Mod – Towards reliable stochastic data-driven models applied to the energy saving in buildings
Roboscoop: concurrent robotics framework
Attentive Public Displays
POPWiN: Parallel Object remote Programming for Heterogeneous Wireless Networks over IPv6
Semantically Self-organized distributed Web Search (SODS)
Signal/Collect: Large Scale Graph Processing for Distributed World
Smart-DAYS: Smart Distributed daily living ActivitY-recognition Systeme
Ultralight low-cost clipable vision system for mobility aids
CHS – Cyber Human Systems (2016-2020)
Computing plays an ever increasing role in all aspects of our life. As a consequence, society and information technology continuously interact and influence each other in a complex process. In this context, cyber-human system research investigates the increasingly coupled relationship between humans and computing with the broad goal of advancing human capabilities. Novel models, methods, theories and technological innovations in information technology are developed to increase our understanding of this new class of computing systems and to exploit their large economical and societal potential.
Research in cyber-human systems addresses specifically all aspects close to the interface between humans and information technology. It is concerned with novel computing platforms such as wearable, textile-integrated and mobile devices or even person-embedded sensors and computers. The research also explores systems that interact with users through multiple modalities such as new interaction techniques, computer displays and even brain-machine interfaces. Algorithmic aspects in cyber-human systems concentrate on local data processing in smart devices at the network edge rather than sending all data to the cloud for processing. Finally, research also addresses the consequences of such an augmented life and society where an intelligent infrastructure could influence and impact all aspects of our lives.
