7. Other Institutions
Beyond the six institutions described above, other selected research
activities should be mentioned either under the responsibility of various
Government Departments such as:
- the Ministry of Defence with the "Centre National de Télédetection"
(geographic information systems);
- and the Ministry of Telecommunications with the "Centre d'Etudes
et de Recherche des Télécommunications (CERT)"
or in other higher education institutions:
- Ecole nationale d'ingénieurs de Monastir; software engineering,
Arabic script recognition,
- Faculté des sciences économiques et de gestion de Sfax:
natural language and arabisation, man machine interface,
- Faculté des sciences de Sfax: parallel algorithms,
- Ecole Nationale d'ingénieurs de Gabès: software engineering,
- Ecole Polytechnique de Tunis: mathematical modelling,
- Institut Supérieur de Gestion (ISG) at Tunis: Electronic Data
Interchange (EDI)
- Faculté des sciences de Monastir (FSM): natural language and
arabisation, EDI, real time systems.
The teams involved in IT in these institutions are rather small but it
should be noted that ISG, FSM, ENSI and CNI are working together in the
framework of a joint laboratory called RIADI on EDI and arabisation.
