• CPER Data (2015-2020): in this project, that promotes research and software development related to advanced data science, the Bonus team is the scientific leader (N. Melab) of one of the three research lines of the project “Optimization and High-Performance Computing”. In this context, a two-year (2018-2019) engineer (J-Y. Ji) is supported to develop a software demonstrator on decomposition-based big optimization. In addition, the team is co-leader of the workpackage/lever “Research infrastructures” related to the Grid’5000 nation-wide experimental testbed. This allowed to extend the testbed at Lille with a GPU-powered cluster highly important for the Bonus project. In addition, two engineers have been hired for the system & network administration of the testbed, user support and development.

• CPER ELSAT (2015-2020): in this project, focused on ecomobility, security and adaptability in transport, the Bonus team is involved in the transversal research line: planning and scheduling of maintenance logistics in transportation. The team got support for a one-year (2017-2018) post-doc position (M. Rahimi) and a one-year (2019-2020) engineer position (N. Aslimani).
