Sébastien da Silva has defended his PhD thesis [87] in September 2014. This research was conducted in the framework of an Inria-INRA collaboration, taking place in the INRA research network PAYOTE about landscape modeling. The thesis, supervised both by Claire Lavigne (DR in ecology, INRA Avignon) and Florence Le Ber, was concerned with the characterization and the simulation of hedgerows structures in agricultural landscapes, based on Hilbert-Peano curves and Markov models [88] .

An on-going research work about the representation of peasant knowledge is involved within a collaboration with IRD in Madagascar [94] . Sketches drawn by peasants were transformed into graphs and compared thanks to Formal Concept Analysis.
