Biography
Prof. Patrick Siarry was born on May 28, 1952, in Pertuis. His
research area is relatively (since 1982) new “metaheuristic”
optimization such as simulated annealing, which are indicated for
the so-called problems of “hard optimization” because of their
ability to avoid in principle, trapping in sub-optimal solutions.
This topic is multidisciplinary in nature, both by the source of the
methods studied (physics, biology, ethology). Much of his work is
explicitly one or the other keywords – in particular, modeling,
identification, learning rule bases (artificial intelligence), control,
nondestructive testing and maintaining the biological and medical
engineering
