Section: New Results

General comments

We present in this section the main results obtained in 2015. Some were already in preparation or submitted at the end of 2014. It will be indicated whenever this is the case.

We tried to organise the results following four of the five main axes of research of the team. Clearly, in some cases, a result obtained overlaps more than one axis. We chose the one that could be seen as the main concerned by such results. As concerns the Axis “Going towards control”, a work is in preparation that fits it. It will be presented in 2016.

We did not indicate here the results on more theoretical aspects of computer science if it did not seem for now that they could be relevant in contexts related to computational biology. Actually, we do believe those on scheduling (by, among others, A. Marchetti-Spaccamela and/or L. Stougie) [3] , [38] , [39] , [10] , [31] , [23] , [44] , [43] or even one result related to context-free grammars (by, among others, P. Crescenzi) [11] could in the future become relevant for the life sciences (biology or ecology). However, we preferred for now to only indicate the theoretical results related to problems closely resembling questions that have already been addressed by us in computational biology.

Notice that such CS results concern not only cross-fertilising issues among different computational approaches, and we therefore extended the title of this axis for the purpose of presenting such results, for now purely theoretical.

A few other results are not mentioned either, not because the corresponding work is not important, but because it was likewise more specialised, or the work represented a survey.
