Local initiatives

The link between the Regional Administration and LORIA is materialized within the so-called “Contrat Plan État Région” (CPER). This contract is named “Modélisations, informations et systèmes numériques” (MISN) and runs from 2007 until 2013. In the global research contract, there are two research projects in which the Orpailleur team is involved.

• “Modeling the Bio-molecules and their Interactions” (MBI).

  This project is coordinated by M.-D. Devignes (http://bioinfo.loria.fr ). The general goal of this research project is to study how domain knowledge can be taken into account for improving modeling of biomolecules and their interactions, and how, in turn, this helps the modeling of biological systems. Six projects involving collaborations with biology or chemistry laboratories are currently under development.

• “Traitement Automatique des Langues et des Connaissances” (TALC).

  Research operations are currently under development on knowledge management and decision support in the large involving the Kasimir and the Taaable systems.
