Phenomenology of turbulent mixing in variable viscosity and density flows – MUVAR
In variable viscosity or density flows, we will study the effect of the hydrodynamical (Reynolds number) and physico-chemical parameters (density ratio and viscosity) on the behaviour of the dynamical system (velocity and scalar field) at various scales (mean and fluctuating fields). Given: the inje
VIrtual angiography simulation from 3D and 3D+t BRAIN VAscular models – VIVABRAIN
Imaging blood flows (a.k.a. angiography) is used for the diagnosis, follow-up and treatment of various conditions affecting the vascular network, in particular in the brain. Improved image analysis precision implies better outcomes for various procedures and interventions. To this end, we identify t
Practical algorithms for ontology-based data access – PAGODA
L’interrogation de données en présence d’ontologie a de nombreuses applications potentielles, mais d’importants défis fondamentaux doivent être surmontés avant que ces techniques puissent être largement adoptées. Ce projet cible les deux verrous scientifiques suivants : 1. Passage à l’éche
Prognostics and Health Management of Proton Exchange Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) Systems – PROPICE
Fuel Cell Systems (FCS) appear nowadays to be a promising and alternative energy source to face economic and environmental challenges of modern society. However, even if this technology is close to being competitive, it is not yet ready to be considered for large scale industrial deployment: FCS sti
Archaeology of the origins: emergence and evolution of the first human technologies – ARCHOR
During new archaeological surveys west of Lake Turkana in Kenya in 2011, the team of Mission Préhistorique au Kenya discovers the world's oldest archeological site, Lomekwi 3 (LOM3), dated at 3.3 millions of years (Ma). Since 2012, excavation of the site has uncovered over a hundred stone artefacts
CloudPower : a Cloud service providing High Performance Computing to SMEs – CloudPower
High performance computing (HPC) allows scientists and industries to run large numerical application on huge data volumes. The HPC is a key factor in knowledge and innovation in many fields of industry and service, with high economic and social issues: aerospace, finance and business intelligence, e
Prediction and Intelligent Control with Simulation and Numerical Optimization – PRECCISION
PRECCISION project aims at developing software components including modeling tools based on building physics, model reduction techniques, identification and inverse modeling methods and optimization algorithms. Some developments will also concern a software front-end in order to provide useful infor
Constraint Event-Driven Automated Reasoning – CEDAR
The objectives of the CEDAR project are: (1) to develop, implement, and test a constraint-based approach to Knowledge Representation (KR) and automated reasoning where all knowledge is expressed in a universal graph-based representation format such as RDF (e.g., Linked Data), in the same manner as a
Contextualized support on a tablet for the transmission of command information – TACTIC
C2 are designed to help a military command post to manage its resources, give orders, and especially to understand the tactical situation by providing a summary of known information. The objectives of the project are following: - Assess the feasibility and the interest of new hypotheses of intera
Lessons from our ancient Frozen Planet: towards an unified theory for glacial sequence stratigraphy – SeqStrat-Ice
Glaciations, characterized by the development of vast continental-scale ice sheets, occurred repeatedly during the course of Earth history. A profound understanding of the circumstances that led to the emergence and subsequent demise of these ice sheets remains one of the main challenges in palaeocl
