Gérard Titus-Carmel & Yves Peyré. L'herbier du seul

Statement - C . Titus Brown

The future of biology and biomedicine lies at the intersection of data gathering, hypothesis generation, and hypothesis testing. It is increasingly easy to gather large amounts of relevant data, but interpretation of that data and connection of that data to downstream hypothesis-driven experimentation is still difficult and rare. Effectively integrating large scale data analysis with “wet” biol...

Mécanisme de rétribution pour les systèmes P2P d'échange de fichiers. Comment résoudre le problème du cavalier seul

RÉSUMÉ. Les systèmes pair-à-pair d’échange de fichiers consituent un domaine d’application privilégié pour les systèmes multi-agents. Ces systèmes font émerger de nouvelles problématiques en termes de coopération. Notre objectif consiste à adapter le modèle théorique d’allocation de ressources à ce contexte applicatif pour proposer un mécanisme incitant les agents à coopérer. Le mécanisme propo...

Cryptography based on Semigroup Actions ∗ Gérard Maze

A generalization of the original Diffie-Hellman key exchange in (Z/pZ) found a new depth when Miller [27] and Koblitz [16] suggested that such a protocol could be used with the group over an elliptic curve. In this paper, we propose a further vast generalization where abelian semigroups act on finite sets. We define a Diffie-Hellman key exchange in this setting and we illustrate how to build in...

To study the behavioral and cognitive structures that form in the childhood of animals, cognitive science has for a long time organized theories by trying to identify what is innate and what is learned, and how nature and nurture interact to influence each other. However, recent advances in developmental sciences are strongly questioning the relevance of this scientific framing based on the nat...
