 The team investigates the organization,​ the representation,​ and the distributed processing of knowledge, as well as its extraction from data and its semantic formalization. A particular attention is dedicated, on the one hand, to large-scale architectures and massive data and, on the other hand, to the design of human- and knowledge-centered,​ evolutionary and adaptive software systems. The team investigates the organization,​ the representation,​ and the distributed processing of knowledge, as well as its extraction from data and its semantic formalization.

 +   * **Computer Science and Biology** : computer science is necessary for pushing forwards the knowledge frontiers in biology using, e.g., ontologies, data mining, knowledge extraction, modelling and simulation of dynamic biological systems, formal proofs about the behaviour of biological systems and more generally model-based reasoning assisted by computers. There are also countless bio-inspired techniques that have made major research contributions,​ as neuroscience-inspired and genetics-inspired learning techniques.
