Dans cet exposé, Philippe Robert, après quelques mots sur son métier, explique les problèmes fondamentaux qui se posent dans un système distribué, en prenant le problème de la transmission de messages. Il montre que l'algorithmique est complètement différent dans ce cas, et que des modèles aléatoires permettent de faire l'analyse de la pertinences de tels mécanismes, et le détaille dans le cas de protocoles en arbre.

Codage et cryptographie (video)
Dans cet exposé, Daniel Augot, aborde à partir du petit jeu Marienbad et la fonction "ou exclusif", les mécanismes algébriques et algorithmiques qui fondent les mécanismes de chiffrage et de codage utilisés en informatique. Plus précisément, les nimbers (ou nombres de Grundy) sont définis pour formaliser ces éléments, ils constituent une belle structure algébrique de corps commutatif infini de caractéristique deux. Leurs applications au codage pour transmettre un signa
La recherche d'information, les moteurs de recherche et le pageRank
Ce cours a été donné en juin 2010 lors des journées de formation à l'informatique organisées par l'INRIA à destination des professeurs de mathématiques d'Ile de France. Il est composé d'une heure et demi de cours et d'un quart d'heure de questions-réponses sur le cours.
Artificial Streams
UM researchers Scott Knight and Rich Lizotte have started a new research project at the Ole Miss Field Station that involves building artificial streams to simulate Delta wetlands. The research is examining the oxygen content of the water and soil. Learn more about the project by watching the video. Video by Tobie Baker.

La qualità dell'apprendimento è il vero segreto del successo di un sistema educativo, e non avrebbe senso fare battaglie globali per mandare tutti in una scuola o in una università dove si insegnano nozioni inutili, con metodologie sorpassate o repressive. Al di là delle ovvie considerazioni sulla dotazione minima di attrezzature didattiche e infrastrutture necessarie affinché una scuola o una università funzioni decentemente, vi sono almeno cinque elementi non materiali che caratteriz
In this unit we will consider how language can be used in different ways for different purposes. To do this we will use the theme of memorial and commemoration. In the first section we briefly discuss the life of the poet Siegfried Sassoon before examining both his poetry and prose. Through this we will see how he conveys meaning in different ways for different audiences using different forms. Following this we discuss more generally how different meanings can be conveyed using prose and poetic

Sunset Song was written in the early 1930s and is still one of the best-known and most-debated Scottish novels. In this unit, we discuss whether Sunset Song succeeds as critique of capitalism and whether it has value as a work of literature separate from its propagandistic ambitions.

Spanish for Bilingual Students is an intermediate course designed principally for heritage learners, but which includes other students interested in specific content areas, such as US Latino immigration, identity, ethnicity, education and representation in the media. Linguistic goals include vocabulary acquisition, improvement in writing, and enhancement of formal communicative skills.
This holiday season, while you're searching for the perfect gifts at reasonable prices, unscrupulous characters are searching for easy targets: oblivious shoppers who are unaware of their surroundings. Particularly at this time of year, awareness is the key to staying safe.
Maureen S. Rush, vice president for public safety at the University of Pennsylvania, discusses tips on how to be safe this holiday season and on how making smart choices can prevent you from being a victim.
