Participants : Patrick Amar, Jérôme Azé, Thomas Bourquard, Sarah Cohen-Boulakia, Alain Denise, Christine Froidevaux, Feng Lou, Pierre Nicodème, Yann Ponty, Mireille Régnier, Cédric Saule, Jean-Marc Steyaert.
All team is involved in GDR-BIM (Biology, Computer Science and Mathematics). A. Denise has been the head of this GDR since 2006, Ch. Froidevaux was in charge of subdomain Knowledge Representation, Ontologies, Data Integration and Grids and J. Azé is the webmaster.
The Programme PluriFormation, PPF Bioinformatics and Biomathematics, headed by Ch. Froidevaux, gathers teams of computer scientists, mathematicians, and biologists from the University of Paris Sud-XI interested in bioinformatics and biostatistics. All the team is involved and participated in the final workshop at Tours, (September, 14th-15th).
