Several algorithms for finding a lower bound on the makespan for the Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (RCPSP) were proposed in the literature. However, fast computable lower bounds usually do not provide the best estimations and the methods that obtain better bounds are mainly based on the cooperation between linear and constraint pr...
Nowadays, the design of networks has become a decisive problematic which appears in many fields such as transport or energy. In particular, it has become necessary and important to optimize the way in which networks used to produce, collect or transport energy are designed. We focus in this thesis on electricity produced through wind farms. The pro...
Due to the exponential growth of service demands, telecommunication networks are populated with a large and increasing variety of proprietary hardware appliances, and this leads to an increase in the cost and the complexity of the network management. To overcome this issue, the NFV paradigm is proposed, which allows dynamically allocating the Virtu...
Cette thèse porte sur la planification des tournées de soins pour l'hospitalisation à domicile. Sous l'impulsion des différentes politiques publiques de santé mises en place en France, la demande des patients de recevoir leur traitement dans un environnement familier et sécurisant n'a cessé de croître. Faisant apparaître de nouvelles problématiques...
We consider providing a decision aiding process with tools aiming at complying to the demands of accountability. Decision makers, seeking support, provide preference information in the form of reference cases, that illustrates their views on the way of taking into account conflicting points of view. The analyst, who provides the support, assumes a ...
This paper presents the results of the second edition of the Wind Farm Layout Optimization Competition, which was held at the 22nd Genetic and Evolutionary Computation COnference (GECCO) in 2015. During this competition, competitors were tasked with optimizing the layouts of five generated wind farms based on a simplified cost of energy evaluation ...
Future trends in management and operation of assembly systems: from customized assembly systems to cyber-physical systems.
Ces dernières années, la robotisation et l'automatisation des processus a eu une formidable croissance. Pour le grand public, le développement des drones aériens et des voitures auto-nomes a créé un véritable engouement pour les véhicules autonomes. L'utilisateur réclame de plus en plus que les systèmes d'aide à la décision, dans lesquels il devait...

The interdisciplinary field of systems biology has evolved rapidly over the last few years. Different disciplines have contributed to the development of both its experimental and theoretical branches. Although computational biology has been an increasing activity in computer science for more than a two decades, it has been only in the past few year...
