History

IGG group is the first computer science research group of Strasbourg. Jean-François Dufourd and Jean Françon are at the origin of its creation during the eighties. In 1984, the team gave birth to the Computer Science Research Center (CRI) which formed the LSIIT in 1994.

During the nineties, the research group was already well known for its pioneering research lead by a dozen of teniors. Then, an almost complete renewal of its members occured. Many researchers integrated laboratories in Poitiers (Eric Andrès PR, Yves Bertrand PR, Laurent Fuchs AP, Pascal Lienhardt PR), in Limoges (Djamchid Ghanzanfarpour PR) and Clermont-Ferrand (Jean-Pierre Réveilles PR). The discrete geometry and mathematical morphology thematics of the group has been reassigned to the MIV group of the LSIIT. More recently, Jean-Michel Dischler came back from Limoges to become professor of the group in 2001 and 8 new assistant professors have been integrated during the 2000s; 3/4 of them didn't defend their Ph.D. within the LSIIT and come from the LJK (Grenoble), the LIRIS (Lyon) and the INRIA (Nancy, Nice, Orsay).
