Strasbourg Complex Systems Roadmap
Click on the blackboard to get the full size image.
The Strasbourg Digital Campus for Complex Systems is coordinated by Prof Pierre Collet.
On 19th and 20th January 2012, a roadmap has been elaborated with the great help of Paul Bourgine, Honorary President of the French National Network of Complex Systems and head, for the UNESCO Assyst project, of the development of the UNESCO Complex System Science UniTwin programme. Even if all could not participate due to their busy agendas, 70 researchers of the Université de Strasbourg showed their interest, including Jean-Marie Lehn, 1987 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, who bestowed upon us the great honour to give an enlightening talk on Complex Systems in Chemistry.
The roadmap consists of a Research and Teaching Programme that is described below.
Research programme
Five workgroups have been identified, allowing to elaborate a Complex Systems table for Strasbourg:
Teaching programme
Below are listed some of the courses at Université de Strasbourg that contain and present some important notions on Complex Systems:
- UFR Mathématique et Informatique
- M1 ILC : Optimisation Stochastique
- M2 ILC : Evolution artificielle et optimisation de systèmes complexes
- UMR Département d'Ecologie, Physiologie et Ethologie
- UFR Physique et Ingénerie
- L3 Physique: Systèmes Dynamiques
List of e-infrastructures
- EPR Spectroscopy
- Strasbourg is a node of the National network for advanced EPR spectroscopies (TGE Renard CNRS). This network gives an access to great variety of EPR facilities.
- Massively Parallel Evolutionary Optimisation platform
- The EASEA platform is currently developed in Strasbourg. It comprises a cluster of GPGPU machines with 15360 GPGPU cores with supralinear speedup, that is used for research on the development of complex systems on massively parallel computing architectures.
