Abstract: As event data becomes an ubiquitous source of information, data science techniques represent an unprecedented opportunity to analyze and react to the processes that generate this data. Process Mining is an emerging field that bridges the gap between traditional data analysis techniques, like Data Mining, and Business Process Management. Read more...

Abstract: This thesis is at the crossroad of verification and synthesis of parameterized concurrent systems. The parameterized model checking problem asks whether a system satisfies a given specification independently of the number of its components, whereas synthesis requires an algorithmic design of protocols for its components so that the specification is satisfied.Read more...
Caroline Fontaine dans Les décodeuses du numérique

La bande dessinée Les décodeuses du numérique vient de sortir. Conçu par l'INS2I du CNRS, l'ouvrage présente 12 portraits de chercheuses, enseignantes-chercheuses et ingénieures dans les sciences du numérique, illustrés par Léa Castor. Parmi les protagonistes rencontrez, dans le rôle d'agent spécial de la cybersécurité, notre collègue Caroline Fontaine.
La BD est disponible en ligne https://ins2i.cnrs.fr/fr/les-decodeuses-du-numerique.
Caroline Fontaine Takes the Lead of the CNRS Research Network on Computer Security

Higher-Order Confluence and Universe Embedding in the Logical Framework
par Gaspard Férey
mercredi, 30 juin 2021 à 10h00

Résumé : La multiplicité des systèmes formels a mis en évidence la nécessité d'un socle logique commun dans lequel les formalismes logiques pourraient être exprimés. L'enjeu principal de ce manuscrit est la définition de techniques d'encodages reposant sur la réécriture de termes et capables de représenter les fonctionnalités avancées des systèmes de types modernes.

Higher-Order Confluence and Universe Embedding in the Logical Framework by: Gaspard Férey Wednesday 30 June 2021, 10:00 remote

Summary: In the context of the multiplicity of formal systems, it has become a growing need to express formal proofs into a common logical framework. This thesis focuses on the use of higher-order term rewriting to embed complex formal systems in the simple and well-studied lambda-Pi calculus modulo. Read more...
