Sequential Decision-Making Problems

Cédric Pralet, a graduate from a French engineering school with a PhD in Computer Sciences, is now working as a research engineer at ONERA (French Aerospace Lab). Thomas Schiex is working at INRA (French Institute for Agronomical Research) on algorithms for constraint networks and graphical models, and their applications in computational biology. Gérard Verfaillie's research activity at ONERA is related to models, methods, and tools for combinatorial optimization and constrained optimization, especially for planning and decision-making.
