Highlights of the Year

Four PhD theses were defended this year. They evidenced that ASP-technologies are now mature enough to perform data integration of large-scale bio-molecular datasets: classification of families of proteins [10] , reconstruction of regulatory networks [13] , reconstruction of metabolic network [11] , and modelling of the discrete dynamics of a signalling or a regulatory network [12] . Importantly, symbolic classification technics have been adapted to exhibit relevant biological features: we used both formal concept analysis and semantic-based analysis for sequence and network analysis.
