Research a T the University of Limoges RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMOGES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMOGES AT RESEARCH RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMOGES AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMOGES AT RESEARCH RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMOGES RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMOGES RESEARCH AT THE UNIVERSITY OF LIMOGES 2 The research directory presents a panorama of research teams at the University of Limoges, their main activities, their collaborative efforts and partnerships. The assess- ment of these teams and the label assigned to them are the result of expertise by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research and major research bodies (CNRS, INSERM, INRA). Research is one of the flagship components of the identity of the University of Limoges, which accommodates more than 600 teacher-researchers and researchers in its laboratories. The research presented reflects the multidis- ciplinarity of the fields of training. Research is organized into four primary institutes, which highlight centres of excellence and which reinforce their international recognition. Each of these institutes is organized around teams linked to national research organizations. Two of them, the Institute of Ad- vanced Processes and Materials and Xlim, are central to the competitive- ness clusters in the Limousin, as is the Sigma-Lim Labex, whose dynamism should benefit all research in the University of Limoges. And last but not least, promotional, business-enterprise and skills and knowledge-transfer measures have gained great momentum over the past few years. They are part of a strategy that proclaims that the University is fully in line with society and, as such, is established as a natural socio-eco- nomic player for the region. The creation of the Agency for the Promotion of University Research in the Limousin (AVRUL) in January 2008 and, more recently, that of the Partnership Foundation in November 2011, are part of this determined drive. An unquestionable operational interface between the potential of expertise and scientific and technical equipment and facilities available in higher education in the Limousin and businesses that show an interest, the AVRUL is, henceforth, a partnership valuation tool for the work undertaken in its Laboratories. As regards the partnership Foundation, by exploring of new fields of knowledge, by stimulating the academic fabric, by encouraging an across-the-board approach and by enhancing international attractiveness, it places the University of Limoges at the very heart of a net- work of players, who have become sponsors, where projects for tomorrow may see the light of day and where change may be accompanied. We hope that this directory will contribute to a better knowledge of the di- versity of scientific activity at the University of Limoges, and will be a use- ful aid for all those who are interested in the research undertaken by our establishment and wish to communicate and/or collaborate with the various research teams. Developing collaborations in the scientific community, promoting partner- ships with socio-economic players through better recognition of skills and expertise, and helping students who seek training in and through research are the ambitious goals of this directory.

    Ultra-Short Multivariate Public Key Signatures { with Public Keys of Degree 2 { Jacques Patarin1, Gilles Macario-Rat2, Maxime Bros3, and Eliane Koussa1 1 Versailles Laboratory of Mathematics, UVSQ, CNRS, University of Paris-Saclay [email protected], [email protected] 2 Orange, Orange Gardens, 46 avenue de la R´epublique,F-92320 Ch^atillon,France [email protected] 3 University of Limoges, CNRS, XLIM, UMR 7252, F-87000 Limoges, France [email protected] Abstract. In this paper, we study and construct multivariate schemes with \ultra-short" signatures. We focus on the classic case where the public key is a set of multivariate polynomials of degree 2. To design ultra-short signature schemes, we consider that signing a mes- sage and verifying a signature could require up to 1 minute of computa- tion on a modern personal computer. Shorter time could be considered but at the cost of a few additional bits in the signatures, more generally, a trade-off may be found between computation time and signature size, depending on the applications one is targeting. Despite the fact that a time of 1 minute is far bigger than the time re- quired by general purpose multivariate-based signature schemes, such as Rainbow, GeMMS, and Quartz, it enables us to reach ultra-short signa- ture lengths; for instance, around 70 bit-long signatures for a security of 80 bits. In a first part, we describe generic and specific attacks against multivari- ate public key signature schemes and use them to derive the minimal parameters that an ultra-short signature scheme could have.

    William Bishop – Paris Landscapes Will Bishop received his PhD in French from the University of California, Berkeley in December, 2003. His dissertation addresses questions of translation in texts by Beckett, Genet, Celan and Rimbaud. Several sections of his dissertation have been published in the journal diacritics (35:4 2005) as an article on "The Marriage Translation and the Contexts of Common Life: From the PACS to Benjamin and Beyond". He has taught French language and literature classes at the University of California, Berkeley, at the UC Center program, and a course on translation at Columbia University's program in Paris at Reid Hall. Vincent Bloch – Tastes of Paris Vincent Bloch received both his M.A. in Anthropology (1999) and his PhD in Sociology (2012) from l’École des Hautes Études en Sciences Sociales in Paris. His dissertation relied primarily on oral history, non-directive interviews and participant observation to account for the way different groups and individuals react to changing environments, new rules and, sometimes, extreme situations, in Castroist Cuba. When focusing on food scarcity in Havana, he became interested in the Anthropology of Food.

    Online training for a diversified audience: some achievements and some lessons learned G. Restoux1, E. Verrier1, T. Heams1, P. Calvel1 & X. Rognon1 1 UFR Génétique, élevage et reproduction, AgroParisTech, Université Paris-Saclay, 75005 Paris, France [email protected] (Corresponding Author) Summary In this paper, we present the realizations of our team in the field of online training. Two categories of realizations may be considered: (i) series of online materials which constitute a consistent whole on a large topic (packages) and (ii) punctual materials on more focused topics. Some lessons are drawn from these experiences and we conclude that online training is a valuable tool which comes in addition to the work of teachers but does not replace it. Keywords: online training, animal breeding and genetics Introduction Our institution, namely AgroParisTech, provides with training at different levels of higher education: (i) curriculum for “ingénieurs” (from 3rd year of Bachelor to 2nd year of Master), (ii) Masters, (iii) PhD and, (iv) continuing education for people employed in various sectors (industry, extension services, academia, etc.). In addition, online training is under development in different fields covered by our institution. In the field of animal breeding and genetics, our team contributes to all the above levels. Among other contributions, we coordinate 3 courses or programs: a 2nd year of MSc. course: Predictive and integrative animal biology (PRIAM) [1]; an International PhD program: European Graduate School in Animal Breeding and Genetics (EGS-ABG) [2]; a national continuing education course: Higher course in animal breeding (CSAGAD) [3].The purpose of this paper is twofold: (i) to present our realizations and projects of online training, and (ii) to draw some lessons from these experiences.

  • The Effect of University Mergers on the Shanghai Ranking
    Scientometrics The Effect of University Mergers on the Shanghai Ranking D. Docampo · D. Egret · L. Cram Received: date / Accepted: date Abstract The growing influence of the idea of world-class universities and the associ- ated phenomenon of international academic rankings are intriguing issues for contem- porary comparative analyses of higher education. Although the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU or the Shanghai ranking) was originally devised to assess the gap between Chinese universities and world-class universities, it has since been credited with roles in stimulating higher education change on many scales, from in- creasing the labor value of individual high-performing scholars to wholesale renovation of national university systems including mergers. This paper exhibits the response of the ARWU indicators and rankings to institutional mergers in general, and specifically analyses the universities of France that are engaged in a major amalgamation process motivated in part by a desire for higher international rankings. Keywords Academic rankings · Shanghai · ARWU · mergers · French universities · French Higher Education System 1 Introduction The Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU or the Shanghai Ranking) was developed \to assess the gap between Chinese universities and world-class universities" (Liu and Cheng, 2005).

The French Legal Studies Curriculum: Its History and Relevance as a Model for Reform Thomas E. Carbonneau* I. Introduction Much like a fine wine of precious vintage, the legal studies curriculum in France took centuries to reach its point of maturity. By and large, it is a product of careful molding and enlightened experimentation, although some disparity exists between its theo- retical promise and its actual implementation within the French university system. Moreover, its history is not without its share of ill-conceived hopes and retrogressive thinking. This article at- tempts to describe and analyze those events which fostered the historical metamorphosis of the French legal studies curriculum. The predominance of a broad academic -approach to law and the concomitant absence of a narrow "trade sohool" mentality in the French law schools might be attributed to the general organi- zation of higher education in France.1 The basic law degrees, the licence and the maitrise en droit, are undergraduate degrees; stu- dents enter the university law program at the age of eighteen or nineteen after having obtained the baccalaurdat (the French high school diploma).

    About This Symposium If diplomacy and violence appear a priori to be contradictory, or even mutually exclusive, it is because the current definition of these two terms relies on the theorization of diplomatic practices that is taking shape in the modern era. Diplomacy, also called “the art of negotiation,” is increasingly standing out from the other forms of action in international relations to become — at least in theory — the peaceful means par excellence to resolving conflicts between states. It is this apparent contradiction between diplomacy and violence that we wish to examine in an international symposium bringing historical sources and approaches together in a global perspective, so as in particular to measure the degree of violence present during diplomatic relations between two “civilizations.” INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS, DIPLOMACY AND VIOLENCE FROM THE MEdiEVAL Organizers Makhroufi Ousmane Traoré TO THE EARLY MODERN ERA: [email protected] TOWARDS A GLOBAL APPROACH Indravati Félicité [email protected] INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM Thanks to The Center for Intercultural Advancement; Cosponsored by Wagner College (New York) The Office of the Provost; ACE; Department of History; Department of Government and Politics; and the University of Paris-Sorbonne Department of Art, Art History, and Film; Department of Business Administration; Department of Education; STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK Department of Modern Languages, Literatures, and Cultures; and The Evelyn L.
