SuperComputing 2012: a must in computing
The global community of scientific computing has assembled in Salt Lake City, and will remain there until 16 November. Inria, a committed member of this event, established in 1988, has participated for nearly 20 years by sending its specialising in high performance computing (HPC).

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.

Marie Doumic-Jauffret: modelling amyloidosis
Marie Doumic-Jauffret is one of 4 Inria candidates selected in the young researcher category for the ERC European call for projects 2012. Her project, called Skipper, aims to improve understanding of amyloidosis, a group of diseases that includes prions and Alzheimer’s, in order to help biologists identify therapeutic solutions.

Neuroimaging and computing for better diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease
Inria is organising MICCAI 2012, the 15th International Conference on Medical Image Computing and Computer Assisted Intervention, which takes place from the 1st to the 5th of October.
We spoke to Prof. Giovanni Frisoni, neurologist at IRCCS Fatebenefratelli in Italy, and Inria researcher Marco Lorenzi, both of whom are presenting a paper about brain image analysis for better diagnosis and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease.

Ivan Laptev: Advancing Computer Vision
Ivan Laptev is one of the four INRIA candidates selected for a European Research Council (ERC) grant in the young researchers category 2012. His subject, “Computer Vision”, aims to mimic the human visual system thanks to algorithms that analyse motion, detect events and recognise objects in video sequences. He explains his work to us in more detail and outlines some potential applications.

Researcher's courses
Edwin Chacon Golcher a specialist engineer in computational plasma physics
Edwin Chacon Golcher is a specialist engineer member of the Inria project-team Calvi, a joint Inria / University of Strasbourg research team. The project-team in which he belongs, is devoted to the mathematical and numerical study as well as to the visualization of different problems arizing mostly from plasma physics and beam physics.
Born in Costa Rica, he migrated to the United States to become a scientist. He achieved his goal. Learn more about his cursus and work.

It looks like a well-polished on-the-shelf HTML5 application. “But keep in mind that TexMix is actually a scientific demonstrator! warns research engineer Sébastien Campion. Our main goal was to gather and display the various findings of our research team. So we essentially packed into a single piece of software all these algorithms that TexMex scientists came up with in recent years. A lot of this research was financed through the Quæro European project.”

Education
First digital school book "Computer and Digital Sciences"
The subject Computer and Digital Sciences will become part of the French high-school system’s scientific program this coming September! For this purpose, Gilles Dowek has created the first digital school book dedicated to teaching this subject!

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.
