MISS-ABMS TRAINERS
The MISS-ABMS training workshop is delivered by experienced researchers, engineers and professors, most of them working in French universities (Toulouse and Montpellier) or research organisations (CIRAD, INRAE, IRD), within joint research units dealing with the sustainable management of natural resources.
Profile of main trainers
| Mr BOMMEL Pierre | Researcher, CIRAD, UMR SENS, Montpellier, France | As modeller scientist at CIRAD, I contribute to promote the Companion Modelling approach. Through the development of CORMAS, I have been focusing on the development and the use of Agent-Based Modelling for the simulation of renewable resource management issues. I worked in Brazil for 10 years (University of Brasilia, then PUC-Rio University) and then in Central America for 5 years (University of Costa Rica and CATIE). I develop models related to environmental management, such as breeding adaptation to drought in the Uruguay or as breeding and deforestation in the Amazon. Nowadays, I am especially interested on collective design of ABM and interactive simulation for assisting role-playing games. |

| Mr BONTE Bruno | Researcher, INRAE, UMR G-EAU, Montpellier, France | Bruno Bonté is a Researcher at Inrae in the G-EAU research unit. His researches are about modelling and simulation of water territories viewed as complex systems. His work is to use, and participate to the development of, integrative tools at the formal level (based on the Discrete EVent System Specification (DEVS) formalism), at the conceptual level (based on integrative paradigm such as Multi-Agents Systems paradigm (MAS) or viability theory), and at the level of the use of modelling and simulation for collective decision making (based on the Companion Modelling approach (ComMod)). His recent object of studies were multi-scale social and ecological systems, applied to water resource management and adaptation of territories to global change. |
| Mr CHAPUIS Kévin | Research Fellow, IRD, UMR Espace-Dev, Montpellier, France | After a master graduation in social sciences & philosophy, I have done a PhD in computer science at University Pierre et Maris Curie (Paris 6) in 2016. My thesis was about job satisfaction and how agent based modeling can help to understand the impact of job organization on the satisfaction of workers. Until then, I have managed to work on the edges of social sciences and artificial intelligence through the prism of multi-agent paradigm. This led me to work with geographers at IDEES Rouen (France) on the domain of synthetic population — ANR project Gen*. I am currently working at UMMISCO Team / IRD Vietnam, getting involved in Gama platform development, Gen* integration to Gama, as well as the development of a city wide escape plan simulator in case of catastrophe — ANR project ESCAPE. |
| Mrs FROMONT Céline | Researcher, CIRAD, UMR SENS | After completing a PhD in environmental sciences on interdependencies and solidarities in protected areas, I am currently a postdoctoral researcher at CIRAD (UMR SENS) within the ANR project BOUNDARYBOAR. I am developing an agent-based model on the CORMAS platform to support an interactive modelling tool aimed at fostering social learning among stakeholders involved in wild boar management in urban contexts and exploring management scenarios. I am a member of the companion modelling (ComMod) network. |
| Mr GAUDOU Benoît | Associate professor, University of Toulouse, UMR IRIT, Toulouse, France | I am Associate Professor in Computer Science. After a PhD in Artificial Intelligence (in particular in modeling in logic of group attitudes), I specialized in agent-based modeling and simulation. I am particularly interested in the modeling and integration of complex agents in simulation and in particular of agents taken into account trust or emotions in their decision-making process and behavior. In addition, I work on models integrating mathematical and agent-based models. I am taking part to the development and documentation of the GAMA platform, in particular to tools allowing to link mathematical and agent-based models. |
| Mr LE PAGE Christophe | Researcher, CIRAD, UMR SENS, Montpellier, France | Active member of the companion-modelling network. With a background in fish population dynamics, I have progressively specialized in building agent-based models to simulate the interplay between ecological and social dynamics in ecosystems holding renewable resources used or managed by different categories of stakeholders. I am participating in the development of the CORMAS platform, with a special interest on spatial aspects and computer-assisted role-playing games. |
| Mrs MARESCOT Lucile | Researcher, CIRAD, UMR CBGP, Montpellier, France | My research activities focus on the study of animal populations in their natural environment and on the determination of climatic, anthropogenic, and eco-epidemiological factors that govern their dynamics and spatial distribution. I use statistical and mechanistic models, along with decision support tools to determine optimal control/conservation strategies for populations. I communicate on the environmental issues related to threats to biodiversity and human societies, through scientific publications, conferences, workshops, and teaching. Today, I am pursuing my career as a researcher at CIRAD in the ecology and control of locust populations. |
| Mr PAGET Nicolas | Researcher, CIRAD, UMR Innovation, | My research focuses on the dynamics of information circulation : its forms, distribution vectors and uses, as well as its impact at individual, organizational and institutional levels. I pay particular attention to digital technologies, their modes of appropriation and the transformations they bring about. My approach is based on fieldwork, combining qualitative interviews with a variety of audiences and the creation of databases analyzed using qualitative and quantitative approaches. My approach is resolutely systemic, with a marked interest in feedbacks, emergence processes and the complexity of socio-ecological and socio-technical systems. Trained in agent-based modeling, I draw on a multidisciplinary background in economics, management, design and systems engineering, which nurtures my taste for interdisciplinarity and dialogue between disciplines. My current work focuses on the effects of regulations such as the European regulation on imported deforestation (RDUE), on agricultural sectors and institutions in developing countries, as well as on issues linked to digital financial services. |
| Mr TAILLANDIER Patrick | Researcher, INRAE, UMR MIAT, Toulouse, France | I am a researcher at INRAE Toulouse, in the applied mathematics and computing research lab. I work on agent-based modeling of spatial complex systems and more particularly on the development of tools to support the definition of models. I am one of the main developers and trainers of the GAMA platform. I am currently working on different projects concerning urban growth, geo-historical events, car traffic, dengue fever spreading, building construction, land-use change… |
| Mr ZAITSEV Oleksandr | CIRAD, UMR SENS, Montpellier, France | As a computer science researcher at CIRAD, I specialize in software engineering and AI techniques for participatory agent-based modelling (ABM) and serious games. While my research is not geographically constrained, I collaborate closely with academic partners in Senegal, Madagascar, and Serbia. In 2022, I defended my PhD at Inria Lille on data mining-based tools to support software evolution. I actively contribute to open-source projects, including Pharo, DataFrame, PolyMath, Pharo-AI, and Cormas. |
