Promoting Scientific Activities
Scientific events organisation
Madalina Croitoru co-organized the workshop GKR@IJCAI (international workshop on graph structures for knowledge representation and reasoning) co-located with IJCAI 2015. This is the 4th edition of this workshop series, that she initiated for IJCAI 2011. https://www.lirmm.fr/~croitoru/GKR/
Marie-Laure Mugnier co-organized the workshop “Ontologies and logic programming for query answering” co-located with IJCAI 2015. http://iaoa.org/jowo/calls/
Scientific events selection
We are regularly members of the program committees of the main generalist conferences in AI (i.e., IJCAI, AAAI, ECAI) and more specialized conferences and workshops (KR, the main conference in knowledge representation and reasoning, RR —Web reasoning and Rule Systems, SUM — International Conference on Scalable Uncertainty Management, COMMA — International Conference on Computational Models of Argument, Metadata and Semantics Research Conference, etc.)
In 2015, those conferences were:
-
AAAI 2015: 1 senior PC member (Marie-Laure Mugnier) and 2 PC members (Federico Ulliana, Jean-François Baget)
-
IJCAI 2015: 4 PC members (Jean-François Baget, Madalina Croitoru, Marie-Laure Mugnier, Federico Ulliana)
-
MTSR 2015, special track on Metadata and Semantics for Agriculture, Food & Environment [AgroSEM'15] (Patrice Buche)
Journal
Madalina Croitoru is member of the editorial board of the International Journal of Conceptual Structures and Smart Applications (IJCSSA).

Leadership within the scientific community
-
Scientific animation at INRA: Patrice Buche co-animates the national network INRA IN-OVIVE, devoted to methods and tools for big data management in life sciences, agronomy and food processing http://www6.inra.fr/reseau-in-ovive
In particular, he co-organized three editions of the IN-OVIVE workshop dedicated to heterogeneous data sources integration in life sciences during the French conference IC (ingénierie des connaissances) in 2013, 2014 and 2015 https://colloque.inra.fr/in_ovive_2015
Patrice Buche is also co-animator (2012-2016) at the national level of the INRA CATI ICAT “Ingénierie des connaissances et analyse textuelle” http://www6.inra.fr/cati-icat/Presentation . Moreover, he co-animates the regional seminar MIAD (Mathematical models for decision making in environment, agronomy and processing of agricultural resources) http://umr-iate.cirad.fr/seminaires/aide-a-la-decision
-
Scientific animation at the national level: Marie-Laure Mugnier is member of the organizing committee of the workshop “Journées d'Intelligence Artificielle Fondamentale” (JIAF, the annual meeting of the French community on the foundations of AI)
http://icube-web.unistra.fr/gdri3/index.php/Th%C3%A8me_1_:_Intelligence_Artificielle_Fondamentale
We will locally organize the next JIAF, which will be held in Montpellier in June 2016, in conjunction with the JFPC, the Journées de Programmation par Contraintes (JFPC), the annual workshop of French researchers on constraint programming. https://www.supagro.fr/jfpc_jiaf_2016/
