Thèmes
Artificial Evolution/Development (Nicolas Bredèche, Alexandre Devert, Jana Hlavacikova, Marc Schoenauer): When what you optimize is the process leading to the result (embryogenesis).
Simulation of Social systems with Multi-Agent Systems (Philippe Caillou, Cyril Furtlehner, Michèle Sebag): How decentralized modelisation and simulation allows you to study complex social systems.
Message passing algorithms and Statistical Physics (Cyril Furtlehner, Marc Schoenauer, Michèle Sebag): We focus mainly on properties of message-passing algorithms (belief-propagation, survey-propagation, affinity propagation) with GRID jobs clustering and traffic reconstruction and prediction as target applications.
Biological Complex Systems and Neural Networks (Miguel Nicolau, Helène Paugam-Moisy, Marc Schoenauer, Michèle Sebag) (see also the Reservoir Computing SIG.
