The principle goal of the Network is to facilitate the exchange of students, professors and researchers among the major European technological universities and to participate together under European technological development and training programmes. One of the Network's first and most unique actions concerns the organisation of an intensive course programme given at each member institution during one of two defined periods ("Sessions") of the academic year (November and March). This training activity, called ATHENS (Advanced Technology Higher Education Network/SOCRATES). Each Session, includes both 30 hours of scientific courses work (see pages 20-22 for the courses offered) as well as 10-15 hours of "European Dimension" activities (see pages 6-7). At the termination of an ATHENS Session, the Home Institution officially recognises the work carried out, according to the results obtained on an examination organised by the Host Institution and evaluated according to its proper system of grading. Each complete Session is generally worth 2 to 3 ECTS credits. The number of credits given depends on the home University. Though ATHENS is a relatively new SOCRATES activity this intensive course system is based on two successful past experiences : - That of the ParisTech "Semaine Européenne", a 5-day long scientific intensive course programme set up between 1992 and 1999 among 9 of the 10 ParisTech institutions and under which some 1200 students annually participated in the intensive courses offered. - That of the Leuven Network ERASMUS Programme: between 1990 and 1997, students from each institution were annually exchanged to follow an intensive course in the area of Telecommunications at a member institution. Over 150 students participated each year in this programme. ATHENS is an enlarged version of these two programmes The objective of the ATHENS Programme is that of giving students, coming from one Institution, the possibility of knowing another European pedagogical system. The Programme permits students, from different institutions to briefly integrate into courses of a high scientific level. When possible local students participate in these courses. This experience, in many cases, gives students the desire to carry out studies of a longer duration (Master or Phd level) at an institution different from their Home Institution and thus favours exchanges between students of the major European technological institutions. The ATHENS Programme, was established with support of the European Communities SOCRATES Programme, receiving an annual subsidy of 50 000 Euros from 1997-2001. Today the Programme continues to be financed by the member institutions with the help of industrial partners and local authorities. 3 ATHENS November 2012 Organisation and Registration for Courses The list and characteristics of the various courses proposed for the ATHENS Session, November 17-24, are given in this brochure on pages 20-22. In order to participate in the Session, candidates are asked to do the following : choose three or more possible courses in order of priority, taking into account the background knowledge (prerequisites) required in order to fully benefit from the course selected (additional information can be obtained from the professor organising the course, see the Course Description, and by consulting professors at the Home Institution). complete the Registration Form on the Web (found on either : http//www.athensprogramme.com or http://www.paristech.fr and indicate, in addition to the course selected as a first choice, a " second choice course and third choice " in order to have a strong chance of participating in the Session. ParisTech students will be asked to complete up to six choices, depending on their institution. complete, print out and sign the Registration Form and the Commitment and return both forms to the International Office of your Home Institution. This Office is in charge of verifying that candidates have sufficient knowledge to follow the courses selected. They decide whether or not to propose a student for the Programme. You should also read “Things to Know about ATHENS”. take special note of the dates, hours and different European Dimension Programmes organised at each institution. As previously indicated, these programmes are an integral part of an ATHENS Session (further details are given on pages 6-7). Attention! Once you have received official acceptance for the ATHENS November 2012 Session, your registration is considered as definite. Only in the case of major unforeseen circumstances will Home Institutions permit their students to cancel registration. Last minute cancellations can be costly: students can be asked to pay local expenses entailed by the course institution and the cost of housing reserved for them. According to your nationality, verify the visa requirements for the destinations you have chosen. The deadline for each ATHENS Member Institution to send each of the individual Registration Forms is: CONSULT your LOCAL ATHENS COORDINATOR The official decision of Acceptance of Candidates for a course will be communicated to Member Institutions on OCTOBER 24, 2012 No charge is made to students to follow a course. Travel and Living costs are, however, the responsibility of the participating students and their Home Institution. See the section on Financial Conditions for more details. 4 ATHENS November 2012 Housing, Travel and Living Costs for the 5 day courses and the European Dimension Programme Housing: Institutions organising courses will make the necessary housing arrangements for participating students who desire lodging during a Session (please complete the questions concerning this item on the ATHENS Application Form). Students should consult the chart on pages 13-15 to see the hotel dates which will be reserved at each institution. Housing and living costs will be kept to a minimum. As a result, students, requesting such local housing, must expect to find very “simple” forms of lodging. Once reservations have been made for students in local housing, these reservations cannot be changed except for major reasons. Travel: Travel costs, by bus, second class train or special reduced group flights costs from one institution to an other vary tremendously. ATHENS Home Institutions will assist students in finding the cheapest rate possible. European Dimension Activities: The purpose of these activities, organised to complement the course a student follows, is to permit ATHENS students to better know the course organising institution, its faculty, as well as the foreign European city where the course is held. Of special importance is the possibility to mix with students of different nationalities and backgrounds during these European Dimension activities. Several types of activities take place: - Visits to quarters and museums of the city or local area - Visits to special exhibitions - Concerts - Informal activities and social events to permit visiting ATHENS students to meet with local students - Student industrial forum to bring students into contact with the professional world On the next page is a brief summary of the type of programme organised at each ATHENS site. Please take note of when these programmes begin and terminate. This information will be necessary for participating students in order to make their travel arrangements. A detailed programme for each site participating in the November 2012 Session will be available on the ATHENS Web site http://www.athensprogramme.com some ten days prior to the start of the Session. 5 ATHENS November 2012 European Dimension SITE BUDAPEST DELFT PROGRAMME PROGRAMME BEGINS TERMINATES 10:OO Saturday morning, November 17 Saturday morning November 24 Saturday morning November 17 *Students must arrive on Saturday morning ISTANBUL ITU Friday night, November 23 17:OO Saturday, November 17 Sunday morning November 25 KUL LEUVEN 19.00 Saturday evening November 17 Saturday morning, November 24 LOUVAIN LA NEUVE LISBON No Session organised in November 10:00 Saturday November 17 Friday afternoon, November 23 MADRID 22:00 Friday Welcome Party November 16 Friday afternoon, November 23 POLITECNICO MILANO 14.30 Saturday, November 17 Saturday morning, November 24 15:00 Saturday afternoon, November 17 Sunday morning November 25 TU MUNICH 6 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF PROGRAMME Guided bus tour of city, Visit to the Parliament, technical boat trip and lunch on Danube (only for the Danube bridges course), thermal bath visit, welcome party Registration, Tour in Delft, welcome dinner, farewell drinks and party Sunday morning November 18 European Dimension Guided Tour w/ bus starts at 10:00 Çamlıca Hill tour (Anatolian side), Boat tour, Lunch at Ortaköy, Covered Bazaar, Spice Bazaar, free time at the bazaar places.

Une des premières actions du réseau concerne la mise en place d’un programme de cours intensifs dispensés dans chaque institution membre durant une des deux périodes (sessions) définies de l’année universitaire (novembre et mars). Cette activité de formation, dénommée sous le sigle ATHENS (Advanced Technology Higher Education Network/SOCRATES), s’inscrit dans le cadre du programme européen SOCRATES/ERASMUS. Chacune des sessions inclut 30 heures de cours scientifiques (voir pages 20 à 22 pour la liste des cours proposés) et 10 à 15 heures d’activités de « Dimension européenne » (voir pages 11-12). A la fin de chacune des sessions, l’enseignement est validé par l’institution d’origine suivant le résultat obtenu au contrôle de connaissances organisé par l’institution d’accueil selon ses propres critères d’évaluation. Chaque session complète équivaut généralement à 2 à 3 crédits ECTS. Le nombre de crédits octroyés dépend de l’institution d’origine. Ces programmes de cours intensifs, bien que relativement nouveaux, tirent parti de deux expériences passées réussies : - celle de la « semaine européenne » de ParisTech. Cette activité d’échanges entre élèves de neuf des dix grandes écoles d’ingénieurs de Paris, a drainé de 1992 à 1999 chaque année environ 1200 élèves ingénieurs qui suivaient les enseignements organisés pendant une semaine de cours intensifs (30 heures de cours sur 5 jours) deux foix par an, en novembre et en mars. - celle du « Leuven Network » dans le cadre de l’ancien programme ERASMUS, qui une fois par an, entre 1990 et 1997, a permis, chaque année, à 150 étudiants de ce réseau de suivre un cours intensif dans le domaine des télécommunications. Le programme intensif dit ATHENS est une version nouvelle et enrichie de ces deux actions. L’objectif recherché est de donner l’occasion aux étudiants provenant d’une autre institution de connaître un autre système pédagogique en s’intégrant brièvement à des enseignements de haut niveau scientifique suivis par des élèves d’établissements différents. Dans la mesure du possible, les étudiants de l'institution d'accueil suivent également ce cours. Cette expérience devrait susciter l’envie d’effectuer ultérieurement un séjour de plus longue durée (au niveau 3ème cycle notamment) dans une institution différente de l’institution de provenance de l’étudiant, et favoriser ainsi les échanges entre les élèves des grandes universités technologiques européennes. Le programme intensif ATHENS fut établi avec le soutien de la Commission européenne dans le cadre du programme SOCRATES/ERASMUS qui lui a accordé entre 1997 et 2001 une subvention annuelle de 50 000 Euros. Aujourd’hui ATHENS continue à bénéficier du financement des institutions membres ainsi que de l’aide offerte par des entreprises et des autorités locales. 8 ATHENS November 2012 Organisation et modalités d’inscription La liste et les caractéristiques des différents cours proposés, pour la session ATHENS du 17 au 24 novembre 2012, sont données dans le présent fascicule aux pages 20- 22. Pour participer à la semaine, il convient : - d'effectuer le choix de trois de ces cours, en tenant compte en particulier des "connaissances préalables requises" pour pouvoir suivre avec profit le cours envisagé (des renseignements complémentaires peuvent être obtenus auprès du responsable du cours). - de remplir le formulaire d’inscription sur Web (dont le modèle se trouve soit à http://www.paristech.fr, soit à http://www.athensprogramme.com) en indiquant, en plus de votre choix principal de cours, un second et troisième choix dans l'éventualité d'un manque de places disponibles dans le cours du premier choix (de cette façon un candidat augmente ses chances d’acceptation). Les étudiants de ParisTech seront invités à faire jusqu’à six choix selon leur institution d’origine. - de signer le formulaire et l’engagement et de les retourner à votre coordonnateur local (direction des études) chargé de vérifier les candidatures avant de les proposer pour la session ATHENS. - de lire le document « Things to Know about ATHENS ». - de bien noter les dates et heures du programme de Dimension Européenne organisé par l'Institution où vous suivrez votre Session. Ainsi que nous l'avons souligné plus haut, ce programme fait partie intégrante d'une session ATHENS (détails pages 11-12) - ATTENTION : dès reception de votre confirmation officielle vous serez définitivement inscrit pour suivre la Session ATHENS de novembre 2012. Seul un cas de force majeure ou des circonstances exceptionnelles permettront aux responsables locaux de donner leur approbation pour annuler cette inscription. Une annulation de dernière minute coûte cher : il pourra être demandé à l'étudiant de payer les frais engagés par l'institution d'accueil ainsi que le paiement du logement qu'on lui aura réservé, si son annulation n'est pas valablement justifiée. - suivant votre nationalité, bien vérifier les formalités de visa à accomplir pour les différentes destinations choisies. La date limite de renvoi de la fiche individuelle de demande d'inscription par l'établissement d'origine est le : CONSULTEZ VOTRE COORDONNATEUR LOCAL Le résultat officiel des candidatures sera communiqué le : 24 OCTOBRE 2012 La participation au cours ne comporte pas de frais d'inscription. Les frais de voyage et de séjour sont à la charge des étudiants (éventuellement aidés par leur établissement d'origine). 9 ATHENS November 2012 Logement, Voyage et Frais de Séjour (cinq jours de cours, plus le programme de Dimension Européenne) Logement : Les institutions proposent les cours et organisent l’hébergement des étudiants désireux de se loger durant la session (merci de compléter les rubriques concernées dans la fiche d’inscription). Les étudiants sont invités à consulter le tableau (pages 13-15) afin de connaître les dates d’hôtel retenues par chaque institution. Les frais d’hébergement et de séjour seront réduits au minimum. Ce qui implique que les étudiants, qui s’engagent dans ces conditions, doivent s’attendre à un logement sommaire. Par ailleurs une fois la réservation faite, aucun désistement ne sera accepté sauf pour des raisons majeures. Voyage : Les frais de voyage varient considérablement d'une destination à l'autre. Chaque établissement propose à ses étudiants le tarif de transport le plus avantageux. Activités de dimension européenne : Le but de ces activités, organisées en complément des cours, est de permettre à l'étudiant ATHENS de mieux connaître l’institution qui l'accueille, ainsi que la ville européenne dans laquelle il se trouve. Une importance particulière est donnée à l'opportunité qui est fournie aux étudiants ATHENS de pouvoir s'intégrer à un groupe mixte d'étudiants de nationalités et formations différentes, au cours de ces activités. Plusieurs activités sont proposées: - Visite des quartiers et de Musées de la ville et des alentours - Visites d'expositions temporaires ou permanentes - Concerts - Activités informelles et événements sociaux pour permettre aux étudiants visiteurs ATHENS de rencontrer les étudiants locaux. - Forum industriel pour une prise de contact des étudiants avec le monde professionnel Ci-après, un résumé succinct du type de programme organisé par chaque site ATHENS. Veuillez noter les horaires et dates de début et de fin du programme culturel vous concernant. Ces informations sont décisives pour décider de votre calendrier de voyage. Un programme culturel détaillé pour chacun des sites participant à la session de novembre 2012 sera disponible sur le site Web (http://www.athensprogramme.com), dix jours avant le début de la session. 10 ATHENS November 2012 Dimension Européenne SITE BUDAPEST DELFT (TUDELFT) ISTANBUL ITU Debut du PROGRAMME 10:00 Samedi matin 17 novembre Samedi matin 17 novembre * Les étudiants doivent arriver samedi matin Samedi 17 novembre 17:00 Fin du PROGRAMME DESCRIPTION Samedi matin 24 novembre Visite de la ville en bus, Parlement, visite du centre thermal, Visite technique en bateau et déjeuner sur le Danube (réservée au cours sur les Ponts du Danube), Soirée d’accueil Vendredi soir 23 novembre Enregistrement, Visite de Delft, Dîner d’accueil, Soirée d’adieu avec boissons.

Science fiction usually portrays technology as trying to destroy or enslave humanity and, consequently, serves as a good indicator of the social responses to new technologies, and of the arising anxieties. From Fritz Lang’s Metropolis to the Wachowski’s The Matrix or Stanton’s Wall-E, many Sci-Fi movies present in different ways the problematic sideeffects brought about by the new technologies and the ethical, political, and existential questions they pose. The latent anxiety expresses a technophobic fear of losing our human identity, our freedom, our emotions, our values, and our lives to machines. So instead of disregarding this way of being with technology as primitive, we will inquire into the reasons which provoke such uneasiness. Every topic presented will be illustrated with a particula movie which will be followed by a class discussion. During the four first sessions, the sequence wil be: (1) Introduction, (2) Film watching, (3) class discussion, and (4) conclusions. The last day will be devoted to oral presentations or final test.

It opens way to what has been the dream of scientists and engineers for a century: visualisation of electromagnetic fields and power. Those contructs, often considered hypothetical by students, will thereby gain the physical touch. The course will go step by step through typical problems of high-frequency electrical engineering, showing how they are effectively solved on a computer. The students will be expected to grasp fundamentals of popular methods in computational electromagnetics, including their scope of applications, computer effort requirements, accuracy bounds, and methods of accuracy to computer effort improvement. The focus will be on the finite-difference time-domain method, which is especially convenient and powerful for visulisation of electromagnetic phenomena in both steady state and transient regimes. The accumulated knowledge should facilitate future conscious use of commercial software for computational physics. 1. Lectures Maxwell equations revisited (3h).

Plus précisément, l'enjeu central face au défi climatique et à la raréfaction des ressources fossiles réside dans l'accompagnement par les politiques publiques de la transition vers une société bas-carbone et des changements importants en matière de styles de vie ou encore des systèmes de production énergétiques, alimentaire et urbain liés. L'objectif de ce module est de transmettre un contenu scientifique articulé autours des problématiques de l'économie des changements climatiques qui couvre une diversité de domaines (systèmes énergétiques, ville, eau, agriculture, usage des sols) ; de mettre en évidence les enjeux socioéconomiques du problème ; d'identifier les contreverses scientiques majeures et des besoins futurs de recherche pour comprendre les mécanismes à l'oeuvre ; enfin de cerner les marges de manoeuvre et des modalités éventuelles de l'intervention publique. Ce module vise également à donner aux étudiants une vison intégrée des problématiques et des mécanismes qui sont au coeur de la transition vers une société bas-carbone en privilégiant une démarche prospective. Une initiation modélisation prospective énergie/climat (processus de décisions publics et privés) sera proposée.

L’enseignement cherche à délivrer, à partir de quelques bases théoriques, les éléments de connaissance utile pour analyser les situations actuelles, pour prévoir, compte tenu des pressions anthropiques, le sens des évolutions probables et finalement proposer des modes de gestion plus durables Contexte : compte tenu de l’augmentation de la population mondiale et de l’amélioration nécessaire du niveau moyen de l’alimentation humaine et en général du niveau de vie, une situation de crise s’est développée dans de nombreux pays et la plupart des zones continentales, où l’eau deviendra plus que jamais une ressource commune limitée, souvent rare et de qualité de plus en plus dégradée. On comprend donc qu’il soit nécessaire de partager et gérer collectivement cette ressource. Prendre connaissance du cycle de l’eau, de ses évolutions anthropiques et climatiques à long terme, comme de l’état actuel de nombreuses situations est essentiel L’enseignement comprendra les principaux point suivants : • Les bases relatives au cycle de l’eau et à l’évaluation des ressources renouvelables, dans un contexte régional donné et dans une perspective de changements globaux. • Les bases d’une réflexion régionale comprenant la mobilisation de ressources internes propres à la zone ou transportées d'une zone externe largement bénéficiaire, la gestion des divers usages et leurs aspects socio-économiques : principalement la gestion de l’irrigation à des fins de production alimentaire, les usages domestiques, les besoins environnementaux en particulier dus aux divers systèmes écologiques. • Une analyse diagnostique basée sur différents cas nationaux (Beauce, Coteaux de Gascogne,…) et internationaux (Mer d’Aral, Egypte…) • La modélisation d’un large bassin (fleuve) avec diverses approches : (i) analyse et amélioration de la qualité, et (ii) analyse, aménagement et gestion des risques. • Les aménagements de l’espace pour maîtriser les ressources (qualité, quantité) et les risques (érosion, inondation,…) L'enseignement est essentiellement fondé sur des conférences données par des experts dans le domaine. Il s'agit pour la plupart d'experts nationaux ou internationaux. Il n'y a pas de prérequis particuliers. Le module s'adresse aux étudiants qui souhaitent avoir une vision large, combinant des sciences géopolitiques à des sciences plus techniques, pour comprendre la complexité de la gestion de l'eau. 69 ATHENS November 2012 Course code Course title Institution Course address City Minimum year of study Minimum level of English Minimum level of French Key words Language Professor responsible Telephone Fax Email Participating professors Number of places Objectives Programme to be followed AGROPT12 Imagerie spatiale et surveillance géographique de l'environnement AgroParisTech Paris Paris 4th year None Fair télédétection ; traitements numériques d'images ; surveillance agroenvironnementale ; analyse spatiale ; zonages et cartographie Français Emmanuelle VAUDOUR-DUPUIS 00 33 1 44 08 16 88 emmanuelle.vaudour-dupuis@agroparistech.fr Emmanuelle VAUDOUR-DUPUIS, Karine GUERIN, Jonas HAMIACHE Minimum: 12, Maximum: 20, Reserved for local students: 10 1/ présenter le contexte et les enjeux de l’imagerie spatiale 2/ développer les concepts et les méthodes d’analyse spatiale inhérents à la surveillance géographique de l’environnement 3/ aborder les méthodes de traitement numérique et d’interprétation des données d’imagerie spatiale. Contexte : Trente-neuf ans après le lancement du premier satellite civil Landsat, les engins d’observation en orbite se sont imposés comme des outils indispensables de connaissance et de protection de la planète. Google Earth, site d’information géographique en ligne, connaît un succès remarquable qui repose sur la vulgarisation de l’imagerie spatiale. Les systèmes d’information dévolus à la gestion des ressources naturelles, au géomarketing, à la gestion des risques, aux études d’impact, gagnent à ce que la dimension spatiale, issue notamment de l’imagerie spatiale, leur soit ajoutée. La maîtrise de l’information géographique est donc un enjeu majeur pour la surveillance géographique de l’environnement et la réalisation des zonages. • L’imagerie spatiale : historique, acquisitions, état de l’art. Acteurs de l’imagerie spatiale aux échelons local, national et international. Bases physiques et comportement spectral des objets. La couleur, la vision, les émulsions. • Surveillance géographique de l’environnement : l’imagerie spatiale dans les systèmes d’information à référence spatiale et sa répétitivité temporelle. Concepts et méthodes d’analyse spatiale. Mise en œuvre des zonages. Validité des zonages, qualité des données et prise de décision. Les exemples donnés seront variés, et en particulier relatifs à la gestion des ressources naturelles et agricoles : on peut citer, notamment, le suivi du réchauffement climatique sur les régions de glaciers, la mise en évidence de l’assèchement de la mer d’Aral depuis 1972, la surveillance des inondations, ou la cartographie des risques d’incendies de forêts. • Géotraçabilité. Définitions, enjeux et exemples. • Traitement numérique des images, classifications, interprétations. Cours, conférences, intervenants professionnels et/ou visites.

L’objectif de ce cours est d’introduire des concepts clés de l’informatique : notion de code, de calcul, de récursivité, de compétition, de diffusion sur des graphes, de mémoire, d’apprentissage et d’évolution qui sont aussi des outils conceptuels puissants pour la modélisation de nombreux aspects du vivant. Ce cours est donc un cours d’informatique destiné à familiariser les futurs ingénieurs avec certains de ses concepts fondamentaux. C’est aussi un cours destiné à faire expérimenter de nouvelles voies de compréhension des processus du vivant. En informatique, tout calcul peut être considéré comme un processus d’interaction entre différentes entités, de transformation et de production. Cette science permet d'aborder de très nombreux phénomènes dynamiques. Parallèlement, le vivant est considéré comme étant fondé sur des codes et sur les processus qui les utilisent dans un grand ballet de décodage, duplication, recodage, transformation, évolution et interaction. Le but de ce cours est d'utiliser les concepts développés en informatique pour revisiter et mieux comprendre, notamment à travers des simulations graphiques, certains des processus du vivant : morphogenèse, génétique des populations, évolution des espèces, diffusion d'agents pathogènes, adaptation individuelle et collective. Un peu d’informatique de base : o Notion de code o Notion de calcul Notion de coût Notion de complexité Itération Récursivité Informatique et vivant : codes, calculs, évolution, mémoire 71 ATHENS November 2012 o Graphes et épidémieo Itérations et systèmes dynamiques Automates cellulaires, Jeu de la Vieo Formes de la vie et récursivité L-systèmes, fractales, modélisation des formes du vivant (et morphogénèse) o Programmation dynamique Alignement de séquences génomiques o Modélisation de l’évolution des espèces Espace de séquences et paysage de fitness Algorithmes génétiques La co-évolution o Théorie des jeux, information incomplète, compétition, coopération Eco-systèmes et modèles proies-prédateurs o Interaction individu - environnement Agents simulés et comportements de groupes (Boids, Flocks, …) Apprentissage par renforcement (généralisation du modèle Pavlovien) L'enseignement s'articule autour de grandes notions qui sont exposées en cours puis donnent lieu à des études de cas et des expériences informatiques par binômes en utilisant un langage simple de programmation permettant des simulations graphiques. Prerequisites Course exam Aucune connaissance préalable en programmation n'est nécessaire. Le contrôle des connaissances repose sur les exercices/travaux dirigés sur les sujets traités en cours et sur le mémoire issus du travail personnel. La qualité de la participation et l'assiduité aux cours interviennent également dans l’évaluation. 72 ATHENS November 2012 Course code Course title Institution Course address City Minimum year of study Minimum level of English Minimum level of French Key words Language Professor responsible Telephone Fax Email Participating professors Number of places Objectives Programme to be followed AGROPT15 Les enjeux de l'embryon AgroParisTech Paris Paris 4th year None Fair Embryon, biotechnologies, bioéthique, génomique, fertilité humaine.

En outre, l'embryon animal est également devenu un outil indispensable en sélection. Grâce à l'intervention de chercheurs, médecins, juristes et philosophes, on dressera sous plusieurs angles un état des lieux des biotechnologies appliquées à l'embryon humain et animal: procréation médicalement assistée, cryoconservation, génotypage, cellules souches embryonnaires, voire clonage et transgenèse. On s'interrogera sur les multiples enjeux de ces nouvelles biotechnologies. L'UE apportera des connaissances biologiques tout autant qu'un regard critique sur ces connaissances. Parmi les apports techniques : FIV, ICSI, cryoconservation, diagnostic pré-implantatoire, génomique fonctionnelle appliquée à l'embryon, cellules souches, transplantation. Pour l'analyse critique : table ronde autour de philosophes, juristes et acteurs de la recherche et de la réflexion bioéthique sur l'embryon. .

Donner la possibilité de relativiser ces capacités humaines au regard du reste du monde animal. Envisager l'évolution future de ces performances au regard d'ouvrages d'anticipation (science fiction) et de découvertes et réalisations scientifiques récentes liées à ces prospectives. Contexte : Tous les produits (alimentaires ou autres) que nous utilisons et consommons sont ressentis et perçus par l'intermédiaire de nos systèmes sensoriels. Or, la diversité des performances sensorielles du corps humain, qui est encore mal appréhendée par l'industrie, a des conséquences directes sur nos actes. L'enseignement repose essentiellement sur l'approche pratique et expérimentale des possibilités et performances des systèmes sensoriels du corps humain. Méthode : Cette approche expérimentale sera introduite par un nombre limité de cours-conférences et sera complétée par un travail de recherche et d'analyse documentaire. Les étudiants seront répartis en binômes et chaque groupe aura en charge l'approche et la réalisation expérimentale de deux thématiques liées à la perception sensorielle.

Contexte : Les neurosciences bénéficient d'un effort de recherche considérable et les connaissances évoluent très vite dans ce domaine. Ces connaissances ont un impact dans de nombreuses disciplines proches des sciences de l'ingénieur, notamment en informatique et en robotique, et rejoignent des interrogations scientifiques et philosophiques fondamentales (systèmes complexes, problème de la conscience). En prenant pour point de départ la connaissance du fonctionnement des systèmes sensoriels comme l'olfaction, le goût et la vision, nous étudierons comment l'information est intégrée dans les centres supérieurs du système nerveux central, en mettant l'accent sur les méthodes et les approches expérimentales. Ces données expérimentales seront mises en perspective en explicitant quelques modèles théoriques du fonctionnement du système nerveux central. Enfin, nous explorerons les conséquences de ces connaissances sur les conceptions que nous avons de la conscience en confrontant le point de vue du neurobiologiste avec ceux de la médecine et de la philosophie. Méthode : Conférences et analyse de documents scientifiques Les données de biologie sur le fonctionnement général du système nerveux seront rappelées en début de module Les élèves seront évalués sur la base de leur participation ainsi que de leurs réponses à un questionnaire en fin de module. 78 ATHENS November 2012 Course code Course title Institution Course address City Minimum year of study Minimum level of English Minimum level of French Key words Language Professor responsible Telephone Fax Email Participating professors Number of places Objectives AGROPT22 New challenges for animal science AgroParisTech Paris Paris 4th year Good Fair animal science, english English Amélie SERMENT 01 44 08 17 66 amelie.serment@agroparistech.fr with the participation of other lecturers, guest speakers and Ghislaine TAMISIER, English lecturer LEROY Grégoire, HEAMS Thomas, DUVAUX-PONTER Christine, BERTHELOT Valérie, SERMENT Amélie Minimum: 8, Maximum: 20, Reserved for local students: 10 There has been a dramatic development and specialisation of animal farming in Western countries. Now that Europe is self-sufficient in agricultural products, society has changed in the way that it looks at animal farming and its practice. In addition to the constant requirement for low cost animal productts, the demands of consumers have diversified, amongst them: product quality, food safety, respect of animal welfare, environment friendly agriculture, energy saving systems, protection of biodiversity, the right to question the use of certain forms of biotechnology etc. are becoming more important. Moreover, the animal occupies an increasing place in leisure activities and as a companion animal. Finally, the use of genetic selection, cloning and the production of GM animals can improve production efficiency and open the way for the use of animals in other domains (medicine and human health). Indeed, certain species of farm animal are used as models for biomedical research. Objectives The objectives of this UV are, using selected examples: - To illustrate the numerous roles of animals today and the new challenges in animal science - To give basic information on the different aspects of animal production - To acquire a basic animal science vocabulary Programme to be followed Listed below are some of the subjects which could be presented (the list is not exclusive): - The role of animals in a sustainable agriculture - The role of animal products in human health - Management of animal genetic resources - Animal models of human disease - Farm animal bio-security 79 ATHENS November 2012 - Cloning and transgenesis - Farm animal genomics - Organic farming - Animal welfare - … Prerequisites Teaching methods All the lectures and conferences will be conducted in English.

Dans ces situations la disponibilité des substrats devient limitante par rapport aux besoins et leur valorisation ainsi que leur distribution doit être optimisée. Certaines stratégies nutritionnelles sont alors susceptibles de favoriser cette optimisation. Contexte : Les phénomènes d’homéostasie concernent différentes fonctions et métabolismes. Ils sont particulièrement importants à considérer dans le domaine de la nutrition de l’homme et des animaux en raison de leurs nombreuses implications physiologiques, pathologiques et zootechniques. L’objectif de cette UV est de comparer chez l’homme et chez l’animal les différents processus d’homéostasie permettant à l’organisme de s’adapter à des situations particulières ou critiques, telles que les situations d’effort, de synthèse intense ou de la sous alimentation et du jeûne. Dans ces situations la disponibilité des substrats devient limitante par rapport aux besoins et leur valorisation ainsi que leur distribution doit être optimisée.

L'aliment, outre ses propriétés nutritionnelles, hygiéniques, de service, doit aussi présenter certaines caractéristiques sensorielles, qu'il soit destiné à une alimentation de festivité ou à la consommation courante. En outre, les qualités sensorielles ont un rôle dans le déterminisme des préférences qui vont varier suivant les consommateurs (adolescents, adultes...). La connaissance des mécanismes qui déterminent la perception sensorielle et des méthodes d'évaluation de cette perception est donc indispensable pour appréhender la qualité d'un aliment voire ses débouchés. L'objectif de ce cours est une sensibilisation à la problématique de la qualité organoleptique des aliments. L'enseignement, de caractère pluridisciplinaire, s'effectuera sous forme de cours, de conférences par des intervenants extérieurs et de travaux pratiques. Le programme comprendra : - une présentation des bases physiologiques et psychologiques de la perception - une introduction théorique aux différentes méthodes utilisées en analyse sensorielle - une sensibilisation à la dégustation et une mise en pratique de quelques techniques d'analyse sensorielle - l'examen d'autres méthodes (ex : mesures physico-chimiques) d'évaluation de la qualité organoleptique des aliments Prerequisites Course exam étude d'un cas pratique 84 ATHENS November 2012 Course code Course title Institution Course address City Minimum year of study Minimum level of English Minimum level of French Key words Language Professor responsible Telephone Fax Email Participating professors Number of places Objectives AGROPT27 Structuration des Matériaux Alimentaires et Technologie AgroParisTech 1 avenue des Olympiades, 91 Massy 91 Massy 4th year None Fair Matériau alimentaire, structure, échelle spatiale, procédé Français Camille MICHON 00 33 1 69 93 51 27 00 33 1 69 93 50 05 camille.michon@agroparistech.fr CUVELIER Gérard, MARSSET-BAGLIERI Agnès Minimum: 12, Maximum: 16, Reserved for local students: 12 - Initier à l’approche « matériau alimentaire » lorsque l’on fait référence au produit alimentaire - Savoir définir un « matériau » alimentaire en terme de structure - Comprendre le rôle des caractéristiques de structure : apparence, texture, stabilité… - Apprendre à identifier les relations entre paramètres de composition et du procédé, d’une part, structure des produits, d’autre part.

Elles ne se limitent donc pas à de simples paramètres de composition. Une approche rationnelle de l’élaboration d’un produit nouveau s’appuie sur l’établissement préalable d’un cahier des charges, compilation d’un ensemble de caractéristiques de structure et de texture notamment que l’on se fixe comme autant d’objectifs à atteindre. Cette approche est également utilisée pour établir les bases du contrôle de qualité ou pour copier un produit existant. Présentation des différents types de structure des matériaux alimentaires selon les familles de produits, ingrédients et procédés utilisés. Cas concrets menés dans le cadre de l’horaire réservé à l’enseignement : - Etude bibliographique : chaque binôme traite le cas de la structuration d’un produit type (par ex : sauce salade, fromage frais, produit extrudé, pâte à pain…) - Travaux expérimentaux : fabrication d’un produit au laboratoire (par ex : génoise, crème dessert) et discussion sur la contribution de chaque ingrédient et des différentes étapes du procédé de fabrication sur la structuration. Méthode : Cette UV d’initiation est largement basée sur les travaux pratiques (9h) et sur le travail personnel et l’étude, principalement descriptive, de cas (7 h).

They change Society, they change Technology, they upset commonly accepted knowledge, they challenge common sense.The following prophecy of Laplace (An essay the Theory of Probability, 1814) is now known to be disputable :We may regard the present state of the universe as the effect of its past and the cause of its future. An intellect which at a certain moment would know all forces that set nature in motion, and all positions of all items of which nature is composed, if this intellect were also vast enough to submit these data to analysis, it would embrace in a single formula the movements of the greatest bodies of the universe and those of the tiniest atom; for such an intellect nothing would be uncertain and the future just like the past would be present before its eyes. In to-day language, this means that you can know all the laws and all the practical initial conditions, the future will obstinately remain hidden. Bye bye determinism ? The limited predictability of Science is one emerging idea of the latest century ; it is mainly due to Poincaré. This renouncement is at variance with the long lasting construction of Science along the centuries, out of magic and out of mythologies,Most of us, following Leucippus and Democritus are convinced that future events are univocally determined, on the one hand by past and present events involving the interaction between atomic entities, on the other hand by the laws of nature. Predictability is, in principle, without limit, as convincingly demonstrated by Newtonian Mechanics. Uncertainty, then, refers to uncertain knowledge of Nature. These paradigms have been exploded by two major revolutions. 1. At atomic scales, unpredictability is an intrinsic property of Nature, as we understand it today. Quantum Mechanics is the theory which describes such a surprising result. From Quarks to Galaxy clusters, its predictive power seems without limit. We shall introduce the major ideas of this theory including the hybrid nature of quantum objects, and we shall describe its major social and technological issues. 2. The ideas and the applications of Non-linearities, leading to Chaos, have spread in many disciplines, giving an universal character to this new grid for reading our universe. Quantum mechanics is more ordered than Classical Mechanics, since it cannot, at least in principle, be chaotic. Solving a quantum problem is, basically, computing probabilities. On the other hand, simply stated problems of Mechanics just cannot be solved exactly, whatever your effort, if you are a human being and whatever your power if you are a computer. You have to be a daemon with unlimited knowledge. 3. It is remarkable that structurally simple systems can exhibit a profusion of complicated behaviours and, reciprocally, that Complex Systems can exhibit an overall behaviour simple to describe. The identification and the description of the evolution of a given system are at the origin of active research, ATHENS November 2012 88 important progress and substantial application, including control. Complexity tells us that unpredictability emerges also from the multiple iteration of simple rules. Here, predictive computation is just impossible, the only thing you have to do is to run the real process. 4. Is there a link between those three subjects ? Perhaps ; who knows ? Some people think that physical rules are an illusion, you just need stupid automata, with local meaningless rules to perform any computable job.The aim and the deal of the session are to introduce the audience into these ideas, in an operational manner (see the grading criteria, which have been successfully tested).

On day 2, a general presentation will be made of various topics alluded to, but not dealt with in depth. Documentation will be provided. The students will choose a specific topic, corresponding to their skills, projects, general interests, or simply intellectual preferences. The topics will be applied or theoretical. On day 3, we shall go in rooms equipped with computers (external links), full of preselected books and articles and prepare work there. I shall be present all the time, as a supervisor. The students, in international groups, will be asked to write a memo, of some pages, on their chosen topic and to present a diaporama reporting the research of the team. The afternoon of day 4 is devoted to the preparation of the respective presentations. Day 5 is the Super day of the presentations ; each group of student will be attributed some time to defend his work. This duration is modulated, accounting for the number of students. 89 ATHENS November 2012 Course code Course title Institution Course address City Minimum year of study Minimum level of English Minimum level of French Key words Language Professor responsible Telephone Fax Email Participating professors Number of places Objectives Programme to be followed Prerequisites Course exam ENPC02 Découvrir une cathédrale Ecole des Ponts ParisTech Paris (Marne-la-Vallée, Paris, Beauvais) Paris 3rd year None Fair Pluridisplinaire , mécanique , matériaux , architecture French Jean-Pierre MAGNAN +33(0)1 40 43 52 60 +33(0)1 40 43 65 11 magnan@lcpc.fr Jean-Louis TAUPIN (Architecte en chef des monuments historiques, e.r.), Bruno GODARD (LCPC), André LE ROUX (LCPC), Philippe MESTAT (LCPC), Roger FRANK (ENPC), Michel BUSTAMANTE (LCPC), Bernard PINCENT (EEG-SIMECSOL), Daniel SCHELSTRAETE (ENSG/IGN), Yves E Minimum: 0, Maximum: 40, Reserved for local students: 0 Ce cours présente un regard pluridisciplinaire sur un chef d’œuvre de l’architecture gothique, la cathédrale de Beauvais.

Faced with projects, contracts, conflicts or crises, coping with people, problems and process, how can negotiators lever the right reflections and actions? How can they optimize utility for themselves and for others? This course provides concepts, observations and suggestions to improve analytical and operational negotiation skills; but it also addresses negotiation foundations on how to do first things first, i.e. how to make the right moves at the right time in order to reach the right decisions and to achieve proper implementation. Negotiators can model the right moves. They can ensure quality relationships, before any other action, putting people first. They can structure an effective process before and during problem solving. They can prepare before meetings and debrief afterwards, managing the mandate and implementing deals with principals and teams. Their communication can further information sharing and common understanding, with active listening and questioning to increase empathy, before active speaking and persuasive arguments to assert their needs. If cooperation prevails, negotiators can also enlarge the pie for more joint value – economic, social, etc. –, before capturing their fair share. Members of this class will embark on a common reflection on how to act as more responsible negotiators. Increasing awareness about negotiation responsibility to achieve fair deals and settlements. Becoming better analysts of negotiation, theirs and others’. Assessing their personal negotiation approaches. Giving themselves general objectives for improvement. Improving relationships, with subordinates, peers, superiors, and all stakeholders. Broadening their negotiation repertoire. Furthering the cause of peaceful resolution and coexistence.

Programme to be followed Clôture de la semaine L’évaluation du cours sera faite sous la forme d’un travail de commentaire d’articles de presse sur un thème en lien avec le contenu du module. " Cette activité est composée de 5 unités indépendantes, mais liées entre elles. Le caractère universel de l’ensemble des matières abordées (de l’économie à l’anthropologie en passant par l’écologie et l’agriculture) limite forcement leur approfondissement. En revanche, il n’est pas toujours évident pour ceux qui se sont spécialisé dans un domaine particulier, de percevoir et de distinguer clairement quels sont les liens, voire quels sont les relations de cause-à-effet entre leurs thématiques et d’autres matières apparemment très différentes et éloignées. En guise d’illustration nous ne citerons que trois ou quatre exemples : - Pourquoi les campagnes pour la protection de l’environnement des Nations Unies incluent de plus en plus des actions de lutte contre la pauvreté ? Quelle est la relation pauvreté-environnement ? - Quel est le rapport entre les subventions agricoles octroyées par les pays industrialisés à leurs agriculteurs et la production de drogues dans certains pays du sud ? - Le commerce international stimule ou affaibli le développement économique et/ou l’environnement local ? - -Quelle est la relation entre la législation fixant les conditions de tenure des terres et l’environnement (sols, érosion, couverture végétale) ? - La production des biens et de services suffit-elle à développer un pays ? Quel est le rôle des mesures visant la distribution (partage) des bénéfices parmi la population ? Ce partage se fait de la même façon dans une communauté pré-capitaliste (ex : villages quéchuas des Andes) que dans une société salariée (ex : banlieue de Toulouse ? Il est important de percevoir ces cinq modules Nord/Sud comme faisant partie d’une activité transversale et polyvalente. Transversale car une même problématique va être déclinée à partir de divers approches Polyvalente car nous ferons appel à des disciplines et des compétences très différentes et variées pour comprendre des réalités qui apparaissent isolées. Il est clair donc que les étudiants qui s’intéresseront à ce module ne devront pas s’attendre à devenir économistes du développement ou anthropologues des sociétés rurales d’Afrique . Ce ne sera pas non plus le lieu pour ceux qui, étudiant l’environnement, le droit ou l’agronomie, voudraient discuter les subtilités juridiques ou techniques fines du Protocole de Kyoto ou voudraient approfondir les nuances de la nouvelle PAC. Une fois cette mise au point étant faite, nous pourrions résumer l’intérêt de ces modules disant qu’ils apportent une lecture et une analyse cohérente et intégrée à des problématiques spécifiques, souvent présentées de façon éparse et sans rapport entre elles.

La résilience urbaine est la capacité d’une ville à faire face à un évènement potentiellement destructeur en minimisant les dommages subis. L’histoire montre que la ville est un système qui présente des capacités de reconstruction importantes après un évènement destructeur (incendie, cyclone, inondation, tremblement de terre). On examinera les concepts de vulnérabilité, de robustesse et d’adaptabilité pour aboutir à celui de résilience. La question de la mesure de la résilience urbaine sera examinée avec des notions de magnitude maximale de l’aléa et de durée de retour à l’équilibre.Différents types de risques seront examinés : inondations, perturbations climatiques, mais aussi les risques sociaux tels que le terrorisme.Les formes physiques de résistance des bâtiments, des quartiers et des services publics seront étudiées en particulier dans le cas des inondations.Les intervenants sont issus du monde académique et du monde professionnel.

For each country or group of countries we will try to find out what are the main drivers of sustainability among the 4 following dimensions: - long term asset renewal and maintenance - environmental and health concerns - consumer equity and social tariff issues - new forms of governance needed. Now that water services are quasi-universalised in most European countries, elements of a new crisis appear, with the need for long term maintenance of a heavy and costly infrastructure, but with no more subsidies; this leads to serious price increases, in addition to the general inclusion of sewage collection and treatment in the water bill. Urban stormwater management, the attempt to control agriculture diffuse pollution in well head areas, and flood control, lead large cities to reconsider their relationships to water resources, and to try to replace technological solutions by territorial ones. Last but not least, the new trend in water consumption decrease, which appears in numerous cities, adds up to the sustainability issue: if it develops too fast, recipes do not match expenses and the financial balance is threatened. . Representatives from water management in Europe will be there. Teachers and researchers will provide a critique Debates with students English level : fluent or good.

Innovation has more to do with the special relationship with one’s environment than to the use of a management toolbox. Therefore, in order to boost the creativity of his/her teams, a manager must reflect first on his/her own personal creative process. The goal of this course is to discover the path that leads from fundamental creativity (individual) to applied creativity (producing ideas in teams) that ultimately fuels a genuine innovation culture. The seminar will tackle the following topics: How to promote creativity : individually, in a team. How the brain works; impact on the creative process, Fundamental and implied creativity: attitude and development, Applied creativity: basics on ideas production techniques, (e.g. diverging/converging, CPS process®), Mind Mapping as a booster, Fertile questioning as an enabler, Innovation culture – how to seed innova[c]tors, Educational methods: Numerous exercises and experiments, individually, as a whole team or in sub-teams, relation with the background (e.g. cognitive sciences), extensive reference to nonverbal communication and use of one’s fives senses.

These models are useful in many physical situations with heterogeneous media, for which a probabilistic approach is required. We can mention for instance problems of fracture statistics of materials, the composition of permeabilities in porous media, scanning or transmission electron microscopy images (including multispectral images), rough surfaces or multicomponent composites, but also some biological textures. On a more macroscopic scale, these models are used in the case of orebody deposits, of oil reservoirs, and even to simulate some data in astronomy. They also generate textures to be used for image coding and synthesis. The common feature of these random structures is their domain of definition in R3, or even in Rn (with n > 3), which requires the use of more general models than standard Stochastic Processes The main topics of the course are as follows : - introduction to the theory of random sets, - models of random space tesselations, boolean random sets and functions, space-time random sets and functions (dead leaves and alternate sequential models, reaction - diffusion). The courses detail the construction of models, their main properties, and their use from experimental data by means of examples of application. A large part of the course is based on training by means of software Micromorph developed in CMM. Structure of the course : Five full days in a single week. Lectures (50 %) and practical training on PC computers (50 %).

In return, revenues are highly uncertain. For natural resources such as oil and metals, they depend on commodity prices that fluctuate wildly. Over recent years, the price of crude oil has risen from about $10 per barrel to $135 while gold has risen from $250 to over $1500. Similarly even if tolls can be fixed for new auto-routes, it is difficult to predict the traffic. From a financial point of view, borrowing the funds as a corporate loan would be problematic. Small companies do not have the cash-flows to provide the guarantees required; large companies prefer to develop the projects off their balance sheets in order to keep their ratings high and their interest rates low. This has led to the development of non-recourse project financing. These types of projects are characterised by high capital expenditures, long loan periods (often 10 - 20 years) and uncertain revenue streams. Analysing them requires a sound knowledge of the underlying technical domain as well as financial modelling skills. This is why engineers play a leading role in project finance - both in industry and in banks. Please note that the course does not cover market finance or corporate finance (mergers & acquisitions) etc Programme to be followed The aim of this course is to introduce students to non-recourse finance in general and to show them how it is applied in several important domains : *0 - Mining & Petroleum *1 - Satellites & Telecom *2 - Infrastructure *3 - Power generation Speakers from industry and from banking will present case studies, from different points of view. As many of the projects are based in developing countries, the special problems of working in these areas will be addressed. A presentation on credit export agencies will cover this topic. The daily course programme will be available about 10 days prior to the course, please see : 111 ATHENS November 2012 Prerequisites Course exam www.ensmp.fr (under the link , ""Ingénieurs Civils"")." Students should be interested in industry as well as finance. Those who have a laptop computer are requested to bring it. During the course, students working in small groups prepare and deliver a powerpoint presentation in English on a topic related to project finance. Afterwards, they are given a 2 week period after the end of the course to submit a written report in English or in French.

Why are the statistical methods necessary? How do you measure and predict the software reliability? A computer is a deterministic machine - why can’t we predict when it will fail next ? If software is such a problem why not build it in hardware? There is evidence that defects have their origin in design errors. It becomes difficult or impossible to ensure that software contains no faults. The software reliability is currently a very sensitive area in telecommunications for example the introduction of new services. The course presents opportunities in the field of prediction of software reliability and the tools allowing to characterize the accuracy and quality forecasts. Various methods and techniques that we approach based on collected data: the software reliability growth models, statistical tests, among which trend tests (graphic and statistics methods). The course is focused on practical applications using software reliability toolkits on real world projects.

Haghiri Minimum: 10, Maximum: 25, Reserved for local students: 0 "Nanotechnologies are promised to a bright future, according to many analysts throughout the world. ""There is plenty of room at the bottom"", as prophesied by the famous scientist Richard Feynman at the occasion of his Nobel lecture in 1965. Indeed there are 7 orders of magnitude to gain in objects size when descending from the millimeter length easily accessible to humans, to the sub-nanometer details of atomic structures. Triggered by this visionary speech, a major research effort has then been carried out towards the shrinking of objects, and towards their observation. This has resulted in very much progress especially in the last two decades, both in theoretical, experimental (instruments) and engineering areas. This has come to the point that nanotechnologies are now considered to be the next main development step for our economies, bringing perspectives similar to those of silicon electronics in the sixties. The course mainly adopts the “bottom-up” approach, which consists in starting from microscopic properties of the matter at the atomic or molecular levels, and using these properties for structuring and exploiting nano-objects towards a variety of goals. Beyond a pure academic motivation, the course intends to make students “touch and feel” both the close or distant promises of nanotechnologies in terms of real world applications, and the technical difficulties to attain these goals. It will be delivered by researchers from the French leading laboratories in nanotechnologies.

Though the interactions between agents are too complex to be described, their collective behaviour often obeys much simpler rules. This is known for economy, but it is also observed in evolutionary selective processes, in human social networks and in insect societies. The objective of this course is to describe some of the laws that rule emergent behaviour and allow to predict it. Les systèmes complexes sont composés de nombreux agents à peu près identiques. Bien que les interactions entre agents soient bien trop complexes pour être décrite, leur comportement collectif obéit parfois à des lois parfois simples. On le vérifie dans les processus d’évolution par sélection, dans les réseaux sociaux, chez les insectes sociaux ou dans les phénomènes économiques. L’objectif de cet enseignement est de décrire les lois qui permettent de prévoir et d’utiliser les comportements émergents. Programme to be followed An ant colony can find the shortest path in a complex environment; a species can solve complex adaptation problems; economic agents may spontaneously reach a locally optimal allocation of resources. Simple individual acts, in each case, produce non-trivial results at the collective level. These observations constitute a rich source of inspiration for innovative engineering solutions, such as optimization using genetic algorithms, or message routing in telecom networks. The emergent behaviour of complex collective systems often goes against intuition. Its dynamics can be described through non-linear models that predict sudden transitions. Emergence is best apparent during those transitions. Its study consists in accounting for the appearance of collective patterns when 133 ATHENS November 2012 individual, generally simple, behaviours are given as input. The main techniques studied in this module are: - Genetic algorithms, in which a virtual population evolves and collectively adapts to a particular problem or to a new environment. - Swarm intelligence, as a model of natural phenomena and as a class of collective algorithms. They are used to address problems in which adaptability and robustness are essential. - Emergence of phenomena like morphogenesis, cooperation, segregation through symmetry breaking, and emergence in social networks. We show how these different models can be applied to concrete problems, such as message routing in communication networks, optimal antenna location or the emergence of communication. The notion of emergence is formally defined, as well as concepts like punctuated equilibria, scale invariance, implicit parallelism and autocatalytic phenomena. The pedagogy consists in alternating lectures and practical work on machines. Students can modify the software platform that is provided to them, study emergent phenomena by themselves and develop their own personal project. Prerequisites Course exam Students who attend this course will be fluent in procedural object-oriented programming (Java, C++, Python or equivalent). They will get some knowledge of Python by themselves before the Athens week. Students will be evaluated based on the following tasks: - Small reports on Lab work sessions - Small open question quiz - Design of a small personal software project during the last practical work session. 134 ATHENS November 2012 Course code Course title Institution Course address City Minimum year of study Minimum level of English Minimum level of French Key words Language Professor responsible Telephone Fax Email Participating professors Number of places Objectives TPT15 International Management Communication TELECOM ParisTech TELECOM ParisTech - 46 rue Barrault - 75013 Paris Paris 4th year Good None International, Global Economy, Cross-Cultural Management, Innovation Management English Maya BACACHE +33 (0)1 45 81 81 11 +33 (0)1 45 65 95 15 maya.bacache@telecom-paristech.fr Maya BACACHE, Telecom ParisTech Paris Robert BRAID, Université de Montpellier Minimum: 12, Maximum: 45, Reserved for local students: 10 Programme to be followed This course has been designed as an introduction to the basic communication techniques necessary to act as a manager in an international environment regardless of the particular field.

The objective of this course is to acquire a thorough understanding of this concept from the theoretical definition to the practical implementation of entangled photons states, using non linear optics and to see how it can be used in various quantum communications devices. Programme to Basic quantum physics be followed Entanglement, EPR paradox, Field quantization, beamsplitters Introduction to nonlinear optics (second order nonlinear phenomena) Entangled photons: polarization, time-energy, time-bin Physical implementation of entangled photon pairs sources Quantum teleportation, entanglement swapping Quantum cryptography protocols using entangled states Two experiments in IOGS: 1) Quantum coalescence of identical bosons : two-photon interference effect using pairs of identical photons produced by degenerate spontaneous down-conversion. Identical photons can exhibit a very strange property: when they enter a different input port of a balanced beam splitter, they leave the beam splitter through the same output port. This effect, can be understood as a two-photon quantum interference between two possible paths taken by the photons. The contrast of the interference signal is a measurement of the degree of indistinguishability of the light particles. Recent proposals for the building of a quantum computer rely on the ability to produce indistinguishable photons and rely on this so called HOM interference. 2) Quantum mechanics non locality test: violation of Bell's inequalities using polarization entangled photons produced by spontaneous down-conversion. The famous EPR paradox about completeness of quantum mechanics raised by Einstein, Podolsky and Rosen in 1935 [1], initially seen as a philosophical question, became a physical problem when John Bell published an article in 1964 suggesting that it was possible to actually test the hypothesis of local hidden variables [2]. It took ten more years before an experimental implementation of the test could be conducted by Clauser et al. [3], and a little more before a clear and widely accepted demonstration of the Bell's inequality violation, by A. Aspect et al., at Institut d'Optique [4]. This test is now routinely used in labs to measure the quality of entanglement, a fundamental ressource for quantum information processing and communications.

This modules concludes by three prospective aspects: green networking, smart-Grid and radio resources virtualization. The TPT20 ATHENS cursus is dedicated to the evolution of carriers' networks in the perspective of Cloud services provisioning. As an introduction, the technological and commercial evolution of carrier's networks around the year 2000 is outlined. The progressive replacement of the ATM and SONET/SDH technologies by optical switching and Ethernet layer-2 formatting is justified. Two killer applications will require for the next ten years an increase of the end-to-end network capacity and flexibility: HD-TV and Cloud services. The limits of xDSL technologies being pointed out, the various approaches considered for optical access are presented. The aim of this module is then to provide an overview of the principles of Cloud Computing, mainly based on the concept of resource virtualization. Storage Area Networks (SAN) today widely deployed can be seen these as a first approach of Cloud service. Thanks to the contribution of several speakers from industry, the impact of Cloud Computing on private data-centers hardware and software configuration and usage is investigated. It is also outlined how the multi-tenant nature of Cloud Computing induces the specification of new business models. Programme to be followed Day 1 - morning: “Evolution of carrier’s networks” (M.

A bad final mark for a course may have consequences on the bursary granted to a student by his/her Home institution. All students are expected to validate the ATHENS course followed by passing the “course exam”, the form of which is decided by the professor, responsible for the course. It may be an exam at the end of the course or a project or personal research to be sent to the professor on a specific date. No derogation will be accepted. Students who do not respect this Deadline, will receive a mark of 0. In order to obtain credit for an ATHENS course, all students are expected to complete the Student Evaluation Form. ATHENS SESSIONS ABROAD All ATHENS Sessions abroad consist of two elements: (1) a 5 day course at the receiving institute and, (2) a European Dimension Programme of normally 2 or 3 days, depending on what is offered by the receiving institution. This ED-Programme may be planned during the weekend preceding the course period, during the 5-weekdays of the course as well as during the weekend, following the course. Student participants commit themselves to following the entire Session Programme as described above. Only students who participate in both the course programme and European Dimension Activities will be eligible for an ATHENS bursary and for receiving the transcript with marks.

At IST, we aim to give our students and alumni the education and the knowledge tools to improve, to change and to shape society through science, technology, and entrepreneurship. We provide top quality higher education, strongly exposed to Research, Development and Innovation (RD&I) activities, immersing our students in an exciting and global environment geared towards solving the challenges of the XXIst Century. Education Within the context of its main function, IST’s objective is to provide a thorough basic training in Engineering, Science, Technology and Architecture, which, allied to the acquisition of a wide range of social and human skills, enables its graduates to act as agents for change and innovation in society. The intention is to provide education in line with the highest international standards, meeting the needs of society in general, and of the economy in particular. Under the Bologna Process, the programmes are organised into integrated five year Master’s degree courses or into courses organised into two successive cycles conferring, respectively, a Bachelor’s degree and a Master’s degree (three + two years). IST offers a diversity of PhD programmes, covering a large spectrum of scientific areas, from the traditional to the emergent ones. Some of the programmes are offered in association with national and foreign universities, in some cases granting a dual or double degree. IST PhD students actively participate in national and international research projects, are motivated to patent their innovative research results and stimulated to take an entrepreneurship attitude. Research, Development and Innovation Research at IST is organized in centres and institutes that pursue challenging research programmes and address problems with a strong societal impact. These areas are often intertwined together and many centres work in multiple areas, crossing domains of competence and application. Research programmes range from long-term initiatives to more applied research with the involvement of industry. Research goes hand in hand with advanced training where the research component is carried out in one of the research centres. Many of those centres address multidisciplinary research and host an international and multicultural environment. Links with Society and Internationalisation IST’s faculty members and researchers are involved in some of the most prestigious RD&I and technology transfer institutions in Portugal, such as IPFN (Nuclear Fusion), ISR (Robotics), IT (Telecommunications), INESC-ID (Systems Engineering and Computers), IBB (Biotechnology), LAETA (Energy, Transports and Aeronautics) and IN (Nanotechnologies). Participation in these institutes is an important mechanism for establishing links with the business and scientific world.

Ever since its founding ITU strives to continue to expand its development as a dynamic world university with a mission to provide education, conduct research, and initiate technological developments as a university competing in a rapidly globalizing world. ITU is located in Istanbul, once known as the capital of capital cities and has many unique features. It is the only city in the world to straddle two continents, and the only one to have been a capital during two consecutive empires – Christian an Islamic. ITU has continued to develop in parallel with the city. Today, ITU provides education for approximately 28,000 students in one of the five city campuses Taşkışla, Gümüşsuyu, Maçka, Tuzla and Ayazağa located throughout Istanbul. All campuses are connected by the metro line (M2). The main campus is located within an area of 256 hectares in the business area of the city. ITU is known for educating highly skilled Engineers in a contemporary fashion. Delivering the undergraduate engineering degree at the end of 4 years, ITU provides the master degree in two year programmers and doctoral degrees at the end of at least 3 years. 23 Engineering programs have been accredited by ABET. ITU is a bilingual university. Courses are offered both in Turkish and English. Starting 2010 Fall, ITU offers 100 % English programs in all engineering fields.

From 1864 on, a Special Engineering School was established within the Faculty of Sciences. In 1961, it became an independent Faculty. The bilingual university was split into two parts in 1968. The Dutch speaking part stayed in Leuven. The French speaking part moved to the new U.C.L. (Université Catholique de Louvain), 30 kilometres away. Both sister universities have prospered and expanded. The KU Leuven Faculty of Engineering Science now is a knowledge centre in the ‘Humbolt’ University tradition : the teaching is based on research, or : those who produce knowledge also teach it. The Faculty roughly counts 180 professors, 30 post-docs and 500 research students. Together they teach to about 2500 students. The Flemish Interuniversity Micro-Electronics Centre (IMEC) is situated on the same campus, as is the Innovation and Incubation Centre from which more than 20 spin-off companies have been launched. Teaching The Faculty offers (Dutch or English spoken) Master courses in the following fields: Architecture, Chemical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Materials Engineering, Mechanical Engineering. The Faculty offers a number of complementary courses and advanced postgraduate Master degrees. Engineering and technology evolve rapidly. The Faculty therefore initiates and co-operates in many continuing education projects with other universities and with professional societies, also in an international context. International Dimension The Faculty has definitely gone international. The Faculty of Engineering Science at the KU Leuven is one of the founding members of CESAER, the Conference of European Schools for Advanced Engineering Education and Research. The Faculty is involved in joint projects with research centres and private companies world-wide. Research is funded by regional, national and European authorities and by private companies in Belgium and abroad. The Faculty participates in all important European research programmes. It participates in many programmes for student and staff mobility both within Europe (Socrates) and with North American universities. It welcomes Ph.D. students from developing countries through KU Leuven and/or VLIR/ABOS projects and scholarships. Student Life The KU Leuven students are represented in most of the university and Faculty advisory boards. Student associations are wellorganised and very active. The old streets of Leuven are an ideal setting for a bustling student life. All year round, the KU Leuven and the city of Leuven organise many scientific, cultural and popular events. The geographical situation of Leuven, in the heart of Europe, facilitates the connection with Paris, London, Delft, Aachen, … By train, these cities are only a couple of hours away.

Carl Max von Bauernfeind, Director of the Royal Polytechnic School of Munich in the inaugural lecture on December 19, 1868 The TUM can trace its actual origins to the independent 'Royal Polytechnic School' founded by King Ludwig II in 1868. In the years since its foundation, during which time Bavaria underwent far-reaching structural changes from agriculture to technology, the TUM has made noted contributions to engineering and science. The TUM has produced a large number of leading scientists and engineers. The liquefaction of air by Carl von Linde (1895), the invention of the diesel engine by his student Rudolf Diesel (1897), the discovery of the structure of hemoglobin by Hans Fischer (1930 Nobel Prize for Chemistry), the discovery of recoil-free gamma-ray resonance absorption by Rudolf Mößbauer (1961 Nobel Prize for Physics), and the establishment of organometallic chemistry as a field of science by Ernst Otto Fischer (1973 Nobel Prize for Chemistry) stand for a large number of pioneering inventions and discoveries made at the TUM. Munich, Garching, Weihenstephan - The TUM Campuses Today the TUM is divided into 13 faculties with 475 professors (of which 250 are chair holders at the university and in the teaching clinics) 9.302 employees and approximately 31.023 students. The core university areas, namely the Faculties of Architecture; Civil Engineering and Surveying; Electrical Engineering and Information Technology; Economic and Social Sciences; Medicine; Sports Science and TUM School of Education are all situated at the Main Campus in Munich, the location of the University Management and central administration offices. Freising, a town 30 kilometres north-east of Munich, is the location of the Weihenstephan Campus and the Center of Life and Food Sciences, which in turn is home to seven research departments (Basic Biosciences; Plant Sciences; Animal Sciences; Ecology; Ecosystem and Landscape Management; Food and Nutrition; Biogenic Products and Technology of Land Use) and six teaching departments (Bio Sciences; Agricultural and Horticultural Sciences; Forestry Science and Resource Management; Landscape Architecture and Landscape Planning; Nutritional Science and Ecotrophology, and Brewing and Food Technology). The TUM also operates a research campus in Garching, a town on the north-east outskirts of Munich, some 15 kilometres away from the main campus. The Faculty of Physics, the Faculty of Chemistry and the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering have settled down in Garching around the university's research reactor (FRM I). The Faculty of Mathematics and the Faculty of Informatics are located at Garching. A new research neutron source, known as FRM II, was completed at the campus in 2001.

Today, the school delivers an engineering degree in theoretical and applied optics (Diplôme d’Ingénieur de l’Institut d’Optique Théorique et Appliquée) and prepares young engineers and scientists for the world of industry and leading-edge research. Originally located in Paris, the Institut’s teaching and research facilities moved to the Université Paris-Sud campus on a pleasant, wooded site in Orsay in two stages in 1965 and 1976. Subsequently the Institut moved to the Ecole Polytechnique Campus in 2006 where it now occupies a purpose-built site with modern buildings for its teaching and research activities. Although the school has a short history it looks towards the future with optimism, optics and optical systems are present in a wide range of hi-tech sectors of engineering, including energy, telecommunications, microelectronics, nanotechnology, medicine and biology, transport and aeronautics and the aerospace industry, and the demand for skilled engineers in optics is high. IOGS, with an intake of approximately 120 students per year, it is one of the largest schools of Optics in Europe in terms of Optical engineering degrees awarded each year and is a major research centre in the field of theoretical and applied optics and photonics. The Institut’s research laboratory, Laboratoire Charles Fabry (LCF), a joint venture with CNRS and Université Paris-Sud, is a world leader in research in several domains of optics and photonics. The LCF’s six research groups have a well-deserved international reputation in Atom Optics, Quantum Optics, Nanophotonics and Electromagnetism, Nonlinear Materials and Applications, Lasers and Biophotonics, and Optical Components and Systems. Apart from its state-recognised Engineering degree, IOGS also delivers a two-year Master’s degree in Optics, Matter and Plasmas and coordinates the OpSciTech (Optics in Science and Technology) Erasmus Mundus Master programme. The thriving research community at IOGS is an important feature of the establishment with approximately 60 PhD students undertaking theoretical and applied research, 20-30 theses defended each year and numerous French ans international postdocs present in the LCFIO research groups.
