Some news about my work. It's not complete, it's just what I might
have found important or interesting at the time.
- 
Our (Franklin Delehelle, Patricia Balaresque, Sylvain Cussat-Blanc,
Hervé Luga) paper "ASGART: fast and parallel genome scale segmental
duplications mapping" has been accepted for publications in
Bioinformatics (impact factor: 7). (02/2018)
 
- 
Publication in the ICGA journal of my article "Who is the master?" about the evaluation of chess players. More informations and a draft of the article are available  here. The official press release of CNRS is 
here
and the article in the Journal of the CNRS is
here. There has been various coverage of this article, in the french national press but also on various english websites (Chessbase, etc...)
 
- 
Publication by Springer of
Towards
  Paraconsistent Engineering. We have written one of the chapter of
this book:
Temporal
  Logic Modeling of Biological Systems. (08/2016)
 
- 
  Our article on the logical modeling of biological system has been
  published at the 7th European Symposium on
  Computational Intelligence and Mathematics. It is available
  
    here
  . A longer version should be published in PLOS One in a few months
  if everything goes well.
 
- 
  Our book 
  
    Metaheuristics for Air Traffic Management
  
  has been published by Wiley and ISTE (in France). It is the
  bitter-sweet legacy of
  my former years as head of the R&D department of DSNA, some time
  ago now.
 
- 
  My student Charlie Vanaret received the Computer Science and Mathematics award
  from the Toulouse Academy of Science for his  
  PhD
  (in french) on hybrid
  parallel optimization. A preliminary paper (in english) which was the
  basis of this PhD was published in the ECAI 2012 proceedings. A
  preprint is available 
  here (12/2015).

  My article and my webpage about the numbers round of the
  countdown game is now online. A 
  shorter article has been published in the
     proceedings of
  
    GCAI 2015 (10/2015).
 
-  The draft of our paper for AAAI 2013 is available in the
  publication area. We set
  new optimality records
  on Michalewicz function and the Lennard-Jones problem (19/01/2013).

  My webpage about genetics and computer science is now
  online (in french)
  (11/12/2012)

  The slides of 
  our presentation (Derivative Free Optimization: from
    Nelder-Mead to global methods) at the CNES 
  are online (10/12/2012)

  has been accepted at 
  OUD/ICFP 2012. It is
  available in the
  publications area(10/07/2012)

  Our paper on cooperative optimization algorithms has been
  accepted at
  ECAI 2012. It is
  available in the 
  publications
  area(26/05/2012) We have set some new records for some deceptive
  functions with this algorithm.

If you don't understand a thing about the above diplomas list, don't
worry, nobody does except the french. The french academic system is a
mess, with a mix of "regular" academic diplomas (masters and PhD) and
what we call "diplomes d'ingénieurs" delivered by the "Grandes
Ecoles". A mess really...
