Philippe Flajolet
is an invited speaker at the International Congress
of Mathematicians that takes place in Beijing August 20 to 28. His
survey paper "Singular
Combinatorics"
shows how properties of generating functions at singularities encode
valuable information regarding asymptotic countig and limit probability
distributions present in large random structures.

Genostar demonstrates its bioinformatics platform for exploratory genomics
Press release
19/04/02
Jean-Charles Faugère
, CNRS, member of the team SPACES
has managed to break the first HFE
(Hidden Field Equations) challenge thanks to his very efficient implementation
of Groebnerbases F5/2.
This success is a first result of the Polycript initiative funded by
the ministry of research.

A new software tool, TAPENADE, dedicated to automatic differentiation
is made available by the TROPICS
project as a server. Given any Fortran 77 (and soon Fortran 95) program,
this web service
builds and returns the differentiated program that computes either the
sensitivity ( forward mode) or the gradient (reverse mode).

André Seznec
and Nicolas Sendrier
release HAVEGE
(HArdware Volatile Entropy Gathering and Expansion), a user-level software
