<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Artificial Evolution/Development</span> (Nicolas Bredèche, Alexandre Devert, Jana Hlavacikova, Marc Schoenauer): When what you optimize is the process leading to the result (<em>embryogenesis</em>).</div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Simulation of Social systems with Multi-Agent Systems</span> (Philippe Caillou, Cyril Furtlehner, Michèle Sebag): How decentralized modelisation and simulation allows you to study complex social systems.</div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Message passing algorithms and Statistical Physics</span> (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.</div>
<div><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 255);">Biological Complex Systems and Neural Networks</span> (Miguel Nicolau, Helène Paugam-Moisy, Marc Schoenauer, Michèle Sebag) (see also the <a contenteditable="false" title="wiki : Reservoir Computing" href="Reservoir%20Computing" class="wiki">Reservoir Computing</a> SIG.</div>
