Promoting Scientific Activities

Scientific Events Organization, General Chairs, Scientific Chairs

• “ECCB 2014”. Several members of the team were involved in the organization of the 13th edition of the European Conference on Computational Biology held in Strasbourg on September 2014. This conference attracted over 1100 participants (http://www.eccb14.org ). Marie-Dominique Devignes was the scientific chair of the conference and the scientific editor of the proceedings [7] [76] .

• “ECML-PKDD 2014”. Amedeo Napoli and Chedy Raïssi were the Conference chairs of the European Conference on Machine Learning and Principles and Practice of Knowledge Discovery in Databases (ECML PKDD 2014) which was held in Nancy between September 15th and September 19th, http://www.ecmlpkdd2014.org/ , in conjunction with ILP 2014 (September 14-16, http://dtai.cs.kuleuven.be/events/ilp2014/ ). There were roughly 560 persons attending the ECML-PKDD Conference (50 of which were shared with ILP).

• “CCC”. Emmanuel Nauer co-organized the "Computer Cooking Contest" at ICCBR 2014 which held this year in Cork (Ireland) (see http://liris.cnrs.fr/ccc/ccc2014/ ).

• “FCA4AI 2014”. Amedeo Napoli organized with Sergei O. Kuznetsov (HSE Moscow) and Sebastian Rudolph (TU Dresden) the third workshop FCA4AI (“What can do FCA for Artificial Intelligence”) which was associated with the ECAI Conference in Prague (Czech Republic, August 2014, see http://www.fca4ai.hse.ru/2014 and http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-1257 ).

• “ICCBR Workshops”. Jean Lieber with David B. Leake was in charge of the organization of the ICCBR-2014 workshops [82] (see http://www.iccbr.org/iccbr14/ ).

• “LD4KD”. Nicolas Jay organized with Mathieu D'Aquin and Ilaria tiddi (Open University, UK) the first workshop on Linked Data for Knowledge Discovery (LD4KD) collocated with the ECML/PKDD conference in Nancy, September 2014 (http://events.kmi.open.ac.uk/ld4kd2014/ ).

Scientific Animation

• The scientific animation in the Orpailleur team is based on two seminars, the Team Seminar and the BINGO seminar. The Team Seminar is held in general twice a month and is used either for general presentations of members of the team or for invited presentations of external researchers. The BINGO seminar is also held twice a month and is used for more specific presentations focusing on biological, chemical, and medical topics. Actually, both seminars are active and are useful instruments for researchers in the team.

• Members of the Orpailleur team are all involved, as members or as head persons, in various national research groups.

• The members of the Orpailleur team are involved in the organization of conferences and workshops, as members of conference program committees (ECAI, ECML-PKDD, ICCBR, ICDM, ICFCA, IJCAI, KDD...), as members of editorial boards, and finally in the organization of journal special issues.
