Associated team DYMECOS
Participants : Térence Bayen, Fabien Campillo, Jérôme Harmand, Claude Lobry, Alain Rapaport, Alejandro Rojas-Palma, Tewfik Sari, Matthieu Sebbah.
Program: Associate Teams
International Partners (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):
DYMECOS is an associated team with Chile, mainly with CMM (Centro de Modelamiento Matemático), Univ. de Chile, Santiago, DIM (Departamento de Ingeniería Matemática), Universidad de Chile, Santiago and Departamento de Matematica, Universidad Tecnica Federico Santa Maria (UTFSM).
Two kinds of investigations have been conducted:
minimal time control problems of fedbatch processes with several species, and optimal strategies for the bioremediation of natural water resources,
The second Franco-Chilean Workshop on Bioprocess Modelling has been co-organized by the team and the Chilean partners in January at Pucón (see https://sites.google.com/site/eadymecos/evenements ). The workshop gathers mathematicians, process engineers and micro-biologists.
C. Lobry, A. Rapaport and T. Sari have participated to the 3rd LAWOC (Latin American Workshop on Optimization and Control) held in Valparaiso, Chile [48] , [52] , [54] .
This year, the team has received A. Rojas-Palma as a MSc Internship for 3 months, and M. Sebbah has been hired by Inria-CIRIC for a postdoctoral stay of 3 months in the team (Oct.-Nov. 2012) followed by 13 months in Chile (starting Jan. 2013).
Participation In International Programs
CIRIC-Bionature
The team has contributed to the writing proposal of the Bionature line of the CIRIC (Communication and Information Research and Innovation Center) in Chile.
The 16 months postdoctoral grant of M. Sebbah (3 months in France, 13 months in Chile) is supported by Inria-Chile within this research program (see Section 8.1.1.1 ).

The TREASURE network aims at integrating knowledge on the modelling, the control and the optimization of biological systems for the treatment and reuse of wastewaters in countries submitted to semi-arid climates under both socio-economical and agronomic constraints within the actual context of global changes. A special focus of the actual project concerns the integration of technical skills together with socio-economical and agronomic studies for the integrated solutions developed within the network to be evaluated and tested in practice in the partner's countries and, as possible as it may be within the context of the actual research network, valorizing these proposed technologies with the help of industrial on site in parters from South.
LIRIMA Stic-Mada
Participants : Fabien Campillo, Angelo Raherinirina.
Program: LIRIMA
International Partners (Institution - Laboratory - Researcher):
The MODEMIC Project-Team is coordinator of the LIRIMA/Stic-Mada project for the theme: modelling and management of natural resources. In 2012, Angelo Raherinirina (co-advised with F. Campillo and R. Rakotozafy) made a 6 months stay in MODEMIC team-project, he will defend his thesis in January 2013 (see Section 6.2.8 ).
