Abstract:
University Pierre and Marie Curie in Paris is the most important European university as regard marine sciences i.e. marine biology and oceanography.A staff of 800 persons (professors, assistant professors, full time researchers and engineers)is distributed in three marine facilities and in Paris lab LOCEAN.Precisely, these marine stations are located in Britany (Roscoff) and on the Mediterranean Sea(Villefranche near Nice and Banuyls at the boundary with Spain). We present the three different stations and the research pursued in each of them.
Bio:
Jean-Charles Pomerol, is professor of computer science at University Pierre and Marie Curie (UPMC or University of Paris 6), France. He has served as the president of UPMC from 2006 to 2011.Jean-Charles Pomerol's early career was devoted to game theory and convex analysis. Between 1974 and 1981, he published, independently or in collaboration with P. Levine and other colleagues and students, twenty-nine articles in the field of convex programming, including ten in international journals (SIAM Journal of Control, SIAM Review, Mathematical, Programming, Operations Research (ORSA), J. of Mathematical Analysis and Applications, Canadian Mathematical Bulletin, Archiv der Mathematik).In the 80s, Jean-Charles Pomerol turned to computer science, particularly computer-assisted decision support and expert systems. He played a role in the development of decision support systems including various operational research models and expert systems. During this period, Jean-Charles Pomerol developed various concepts at the frontier of multi-criteria decision support and artificial intelligence.He founded the Journal of Decision Systems in 1992 and remained the editor for ten years. The journal's quarterly issues are devoted to computer-based decision support systems. Jean-Charles Pomerol is the editor of Revue Française d’Intelligence Artificielle and a member of the editing team of Revue Française de Gestion. He is also the computer science coordinator for the Traité des sciences de l’ingénieur.
