European project
Metadata for a better understanding of the past
2014 marks the centenary of the First World War. But how can such an event be commemorated when the relevant historical resources are scattered throughout the whole of Europe and historians have not yet been able to conduct an exhaustive study of all of them? Laurent Romary explains how, with the CENDARI project, computational sciences can provide a solution to this problem and come to the aid of all social sciences.

Efficient, modular tools to aid interpretation of medical images
Medical imaging, scans and MRIs provide a lot of data, but identifying the development of an illness or detecting a slow-growing tumour is no easy task. The Galen team is developing algorithms designed to help doctors identify these changes as early as possible. The team's work focuses essentially on methodology and has been successfully applied in a number of contexts, as demonstrated by the significant contribution of its researchers to MICCAI’2012 and previous symposia.

Tools for getting more out of brain imaging
Brain imaging has made a great deal of progress in recent years, providing more and more data and with an increasingly high level of quality. Developing reliable, high-performance tools to improve the use of these images is now vital. Inria has an important role to play in this respect. The Parietal team is presenting four articles on this subject at MICCAI 2012, as well as contributing to four specialist workshops and running a demonstration at the Inria stand.

DigiCosme Laboratory of Excellence opens
To mark the inaugural conference of the DigiCosme Laboratory of Excellence (Labex) on 12 and 13 September 2012, we take a look back at the origins and ambitions of this project in an interview with the lab's coordinator, Christine Paulin-Mohring.

Research teams
Cryptography and coding for greater digital security
Inria's dynamic approach to science is due in part to its policy of regularly renewing its project teams. Indeed, every four to eight years, the teams must present a new research project. This offers an opportunity to come up with a new theme, a new team leader, a new name, new profiles, etc. A few months after the Tanc team evolved to form the Grace research project, we met with Daniel Augot, the new team leader, to discuss the implications of this change.

"The same mathematical tool can be used in both neurophysiology and quantum physics"
One year after the launch of the Geco team, it's time to take stock of its research work with the team's leader, Mario Sigalotti.

Discovery
Analysing images helps reveal the mysteries of glass formation
An original partnership has gathered the Parietal team, specialised in computational analysis of brain images, and the Glass surfaces and interfaces laboratory (CNRS/Saint-Gobain) around an original project aimed at solving the mysteries of glass formation. One of the aims behind this research, published on the website of The Journal of the American Ceramic Society, is to produce high-quality glass at lower temperatures than those currently used in industry.

International
Olivier Temam, recognized for his Franco-Chinese collaboration.
Olivier Temam, Senior Research Scientist at Inria and leader of the ByMoore exploratory action, has been recognized twice (in 2010 and 2011) as part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences’ “International Talents Program”, for his cooperation with ICT (Institute of Computing Technology) in Beijing. And in February, his former PhD student, Zheng Li, himself received an award for research excellence for his PhD thesis. This prize is awarded by the Chinese government to Chinese students who have obtained their theses abroad, and there are about 500 recipients among the tens of thousands of Chinese PhD students (in all scientific disciplines) graduating abroad every year. Olivier Temam has recently established a joint team with ICT (YOUHUA) within the framework of the Franco-Chinese Lab for Computer Science, Automation and Applied Mathematics (LIAMA) after first setting up an INRIA associate team. Olivier talks us about the rationale and benefits of this collaboration.

Researcher's path
Mireille Régnier : 'Contributing to knowledge of the human genome through computing fascinated me'
For the first annual Maths Week, March 12-18, the theme was "Women and Maths". It offered an opportunity to interview three researchers and team leaders at Saclay, with three different profiles and careers, but who all chose to discuss with us their choice to work in science and research. This week we met with Mireille Régnier, head of the Amib project-team.
