• Ayman Aljarbouh's PhD is partially funded by an ARED grant of the Brittany Regional Council. His doctoral work takes place in the context of the Modrio and Sys2Soft projects on hybrid systems modeling — see sections  9.2 and  9.2 . Ayman Aljarbouh is working on accelerated simulation techniques for hybrid systems. In particular, he is focusing on the regularisation, at runtime, of chattering behaviour and the approximation of Zeno behaviour.

• Benoît Caillaud is participating to the S3PM project of the CominLabs excellence laboratory  (http://www.s3pm.cominlabs.ueb.eu/ ). This project focuses on the computation of surgical procedural knowledge models from recordings of individual procedures, and their execution  [32] . The objective is to develop an enabling technology for procedural knowledge based computer assistance of surgery. In this project, we demonstrate its potential added value in nurse and surgeon training.
