The purpose of agile practices is to optimize engineering processes. Beside it, software documentation often suffers from the priority given to fast and successive deliveries of new functionalities. As a consequence, incomplete documentation and graphical representation make it difficult for a developer to maintain and evolve. Sketching is an integ...
From the Schelling model of segregation, we derive models of group formation that shed light on segregation or mixing patterns observed in spatial grid networks. Individuals have types and see type-dependent benefits or drawback from theirs neighbours: this leads each one to be attracted or repulsed by its own like or unlike. This framework allows ...

Event-scheduling algorithms can compute in continuous time the next occurrence of points (as events) of a counting process based on their current conditional intensity. In particular, event-scheduling algorithms can be adapted to perform the simulation of finite neuronal networks activity. These algorithms are based on Ogata’s thinning strategy (Og...

We investigate micro data-centers systems with intermittent energy (due to solar panels or price of energy) which balance their jobs to mitigate these fluctuations. The model is based on energy packet networks recently proposed by E. Gelenbe and his colleagues. These models explicitly represent both energy and data processing in a combined stochast...

Parametric shape optimization aims at minimizing a function f ( x ) where x ∈ X ⊂ R d is a vector of d Computer Aided Design parameters, representing diverse characteristics of the shape Ω x . It is common for d to be large, d > 50 , making the optimization diffcult, especially when f is an expensive black-box and the use of surrogate-based approac...
