National Initiatives

AxIS is involved in one ARC from INRIA and several national working groups.

ARC “SéSur”: Sécurité et Surveillance dans les flots de données

SéSur (2007-2008, 1 post-doc 1 year + 49Ke) is an ARC which involves Dream (IRISA), LGI2P (Ecole des Mines d'Alès) and LIRMM (Montpellier). The goal of SéSur is to propose solutions for the security, monitoring and diagnosis of data streams. Data streams have two major characteristics: 1) they are the vital signals of the considered system and their analysis is of great interest and 2) their production rate is so high that actual technology is not able to process them in a satisfying way. We are mainly interested in monitoring the systems that produce data streams. The expected result is a monitoring system able to detect, in the stream, signals that are typical of the good or bad condition of this stream. The general framework of data streams implies extracting simultaneously and on-the-fly any pattern that indicates a dysfunction.

CNRS Action Concertée Incitative: “Histoire des savoirs”

This initiative (ACI RNR TTT Grammaire et mathématique dans le monde indien 17/01/03 - 17/01/06) associates several French research teams from various research fields, such as computer science, data analysis, and Sanskrit literature. The main goal of this action is to provide help for the construction of critical edition of Indian manuscripts in Sanskrit, and to provide pertinent information about the manuscripts classification (construction of cladistic trees). The expected tools will not be restricted to Sanskrit language in every aspects. This action is complemented by the European AAT project support which allows us to collect more Sankrit manuscripts and to care about some interactive aspect that we where not able to take into account with the ACI dotation.

The end of action has been delayed until december 2007, a meeting in ENS Ulm (from 29th November until 1st December).where every team presented its results.

EGC Association: National Group on Mining Complex Data

URL: http://eric.univ-lyon2.fr/~Egt-fdc/ AxIS members participated actively this year to the Working Group “Fouille de données complexes” created by D.A Zighed in June 2003 in the context of the EGC association:

• F. Masseglia with O. Boussaïd (ERIC, Lyon) co-organised and co-chaired the fourth workshop “Fouille de données complexes dans un processus d'extraction de connaissances” (23 January, 2007) [Oops!] . M-A. Aufaure, B. Trousse and Y. Lechevallier were members of the program committee.

• F. Masseglia with O. Boussaïd co-animate one of the three topics: “Organisation and Structuration of Complex Data”.

• B. Trousse with S. Després (CRIP5 - Université de Paris V) co-animate the topic “ Knowledge in Complex Data Mining”.

SFDS association: InfoStat Group

SFDS is the French Society of Statistics : URL: http://www.sfds.asso.fr/ .

AxIS members participated actively this year in the workshops "Les après-midis d'InfoStat" of the InfoStat Group which is leaded by Y. Lechevallier (president):

• March 29, Paris: "les Fouilles de Données Textuelles".

• November 15, Paris: "NIVS : Nouvelles Idées Via les Software".

GDR-I3

AxIS is concerned by three working groups of the GDR-PRC~I3 National Research Group “Information - Interaction - Intelligence” of CNRS: working Group 3.4 (GT) on Data Mining, Gracq , Working Group 3.7 on “Sécurité des Systèmes d'Information”.

Other Collaborations

• LIP6: We work with Bénédicte Le Grand and Michel Soto in the Eiffel RNTL project on visualisation and navigation for enhancing semantic web retrieval in the tourism domain. Marie-Aude Aufaure works also with them on semantic and conceptual context-aware information retrieval [Oops!] .

• ENST Paris: Y. Lechevallier collaborated with Georges Hébrail (ENST) [Oops!] .

• Paris Descartes: Marc Csernel collaborate regularly with François Patte on every aspects concerning the Sankrit.

• ENST Bretagne: In the framework of the ACI "Histoire des savoirs" we have a regular collaboration with some ENST B researchers, namely P. Bertrand, M Le Pouliquen, J-P Barthélémy on classification and comparison of the Sanskrit Manuscripts.

• CNAM and Loria (Cortex Team): contacts have been established with research teams in human and social sciences.

• University of Bordeaux 1 and 2 (MAP laboratory): Y. Lechevallier collaborated with M. Chavent [Oops!] .

• GRIMM-SMASH team (Université Toulouse Le Mirail): F. Rossi works with N. Villa Self Organizing Map for dissimilarity matrices (cf Section 6.3.2 and [Oops!] ).
