SynopsisOver recent years, the development of agent-based models has allowed researchers to advance their understanding of naturally occurring collective behaviours. Swarm robotics, a field studying the design of decentralised robot swarms, has emerged following the replication of some collective behaviours in artificial groups of robots. The first part of this thesis provides novel techniques for the aggregation of heterogeneous swarms. First, we enhance an existing controller for an aggregation problem on two sites through the use of informed robots. We show that our simplified approach offers a wider range of operating conditions and a greater flexibility. Second, we provide a new method for the aggregation of robot swarms with adaptive random walks. We separately study cue-based aggregation with a swarm of robots only sensing private information and neighbour-based aggregation with a swarm of robots sensing social information. We show that a trade-off can be obtained with a heterogeneous swarm composed of the two robot types, forming a dense cluster near the minimum of an environmental cue. Private and social information also play a key role in the evolution of biological processes inside animal groups. Dispersal, the movement of an animal from site of birth to site of reproduction, is strongly affected by the acquisition and the use of information. Since experimental research is often difficult to conduct while accounting for multiple information sources and environmental variability, the use of agent-based models offer an opportunity to study the evolution of dispersal and its associated costs linked to private and social information in a controlled setting. The second part of this thesis provides an agent-based model of dispersal including the acquisition of information and its associated costs. Throughout three case studies, we observe the evolution of genes linked to the acquisition of information and the obtained dispersal strategies in different scenarios.

Synopsis The spreading of internet-based technologies since the mid-90s has led to a paradigm shift from monolithic centralized information systems to distributed information systems based upon the composition of software components, interacting with each other and of heterogeneous natures. The popularity of these systems is nowadays such that our everyday life is touched by them.Classically concurrent and distributed systems are coded by using the message passing paradigm-according to which components exchange information by sending and receiving messages. In the aim of clearly separating computational and interactional aspects of computations, Gelernter and Carriero have proposed an alternative framework in which components interact through the availability of information placed on a shared space. Their framework has been concretized in a language called Linda. A series of languages, referred to nowadays as coordination languages, have been developed afterwards. In addition to providing a more declarative framework, such languages nicely fit applications like Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter, in which users share information by adding it or consulting it in a common place. Such systems are in fact particular cases of so-called socio-technical systems in which humans interact with machines and their environments through complex dependencies. As coordination languages nicely meet social networks, the question naturally arises whether they can also nicely code socio-technical systems. However, answering this question first requires to see how well programs written in coordination languages can reflect what they are assumed to model.This thesis aims at addressing these two questions. To that end, we shall use the Bach coordination language developed at the University of Namur as a representative of Linda-like languages. We shall extend it in a language named Multi-Bach to be able to code and reason on socio-technical systems. We will also introduce a workbench Anemone to support the modelling of such systems. Finally, we will evidence the interest of our approach through the coding of several social-technical systems.

SynopsisA honeypot is a security tool deliberately designed to be vulnerable, thereby enticing attackers to probe, exploit, and compromise it. Since their introduction in the early 1990s, honeypots have remained among the most widely used tools for capturing cyberattacks, complementing traditional defenses such as firewalls and intrusion detection systems. They serve both as early warning systems and as sources of valuable attack data, enabling security professionals to study the techniques and behaviors of threat actors.While conventional honeypots have achieved significant success, they remain deterministic in their responses to attacks. This is where adaptive or intelligent honeypots come into play. An adaptive honeypot leverages Machine Learning techniques, such as Reinforcement Learning, to interact with attackers. These systems learn to take actions that can disrupt the normal execution flow of an attack, potentially forcing attackers to alter their techniques. As a result, attackers must find alternative routes or tools to achieve their objectives, ultimately leading to the collection of more attack data.Despite their advantages, traditional honeypots face two main challenges. First, emulation-based honeypots (also known as low- and medium-interaction honeypots) are increasingly susceptible to detection, which undermines their effectiveness in collecting meaningful attack data. Second, real-system-based honeypots (also known as high-interaction honeypots) pose security risks to the hosting organization if not properly isolated and protected. Since adaptive honeypots rely on the same underlying systems, they also inherit these challenges.This thesis investigates whether it is possible to design a honeypot system that mitigates these challenges while still fulfilling its primary objective of collecting attack data. To this end, it proposes a new abstract model for adaptive self-guarded honeypots, designed to balance attack data collection, detection evasion, and security preservation, ensuring that it does not pose a risk to the rest of the network.Membres du juryProf. Wim VANHOOF, Président, Université de NamurProf. Jean-Noël COLIN, Promoteur, Université de NamurProf. Florentin ROCHET, Membre interne, Université de NamurProf. Benoît FRENAY, Membre interne, Université de NamurProf. Ramin SADRE, Membre externe, Université catholique de Louvain Dr. Jérôme FRANCOIS, Membre externe, Université du LuxembourgVous êtes cordialement invités à un drink, qui suivra la soutenance publique. Pour une bonne organisation, merci de donner votre réponse pour le mardi 20 mai 2025.
