LIFO is a computer sciences research lab. Research projects conducted at LIFO range from algorithmics to natural languages processing, from machine learning to massive parallelism, from model checking and certification to system security, from big data to embedded systems. The laboratory is structured around five teams:

To provide another approach to the lab. and to foster inter-team cooperation, the following cross-lab. thematics are put forward:

• Massive data sets and high performance computation,
• Modelization and algorithms, and
• Security and safety.
