EPOC
With the emergence of the Future Internet and the dawning of new IT models such as cloud computing, the usage of data centers (DC), and consequently their power consumption, increase dramatically. Besides the ecological impact, the energy consumption is a predominant criteria for DC providers since it determines the daily cost of their infrastructure. As a consequence, power management becomes one of the main challenges for DC infrastructures and more generally for large-scale distributed systems. In this paper, the EPOC project which focuses on optimising the energy consumption of mono-site DCs connected to the regular electrical grid and to renewable energy sources.
SmartCat
Participants : Eric Monfroy, Charlotte Truchet.

Others partners: CEISAM.
The SmartCat project, started in 2015 on regional fundings, aims at developing an intelligent automatised tool for online chemistry. Contrarily to the traditional batch chemistry, where reactants are mixed in a glass, online chemistry consists in having a flow of reactants in a tube, possibly passing through ovens are pressure control mechanisms. This way, the reaction happens continuously and it can produce much more products within a system of reasonable size. SmartCat integrates a controller for which intelligent tools need to be developed. These tools will analyse the product of the reaction and adapt the conditions (stoechiometry, pressure, temperature, catalysis) in order to optimise the yield. TASC contributes to this project by developing these methods, based on local search techniques.
Atlanstic 1
Participant : Florian Richoux.
Topic: deep learning for games.
Atlanstic 2
Participant : Charles Prud Homme.
Topic: CoMe4ACloud is an Atlanstic2020 funded project whose objective is to provide an end-to-end solution for autonomic Cloud services. To that end, we rely on techniques of Constraint Programming so as a decision-making tool and Model-driven Engineering to ease the automatic generation of the so-called autonomic managers as well as their communication with the managed system (see Constraints and Model Engineering for Autonomic Clouds). The project is led by ASCOLA research team and involves also AtlanModels and TASC.
