Henrion) September 17 - 21, 2012 The conference brings together people from the communities of formal proofs, constructive mathematics, computer  algebra and real algebraic geometry (in a wide meaning). The objective of the conference is to bridge the gap between conceptual (abstract) and computational  (constructive) mathematics by providing a computational understanding of abstract mathematics. We are not only interested in correct algorithms however, but also in the mathematical clarity that these concrete presentations provide. In formal proof management systems like Coq there is an increasing interest to exploit certificates found by numerical solvers (e.g., sums of squares certificates for positivity found by semidefinite programming solvers). The theory behind these certificates will be one of the highlights of this 2012 edition of MAP. Registration and Future Announcements: Registration is not yet possible but all interested persons should now subscribe to our mailing list for this event at: http://www.map2012.uni-konstanz.de/ All subsequent announcements of the conference will be distributed only through this mailing list. There will be a registration fee of around 100 euros.

Laraki) The 6th International Conference on Performance Evaluation Methodologies and Tools  -- 9th - 12th October 2012 Cargese, Corsica http://www.valuetools.org/ ValueTools 2012 is an interdisciplinary conference whose goal is to gather and to facilitate the flow of expertise between researchers from different communities working on performance evaluation, optimization, and stochastic modeling in complex systems. Owing to recent technological advances and the massive connectivity of our "always-online" era, these issues have attracted considerable interest in the fields of Computer Science, Control Theory, Networks and Telecommunications, Operations Research, and Signal Processing, and, traditionally, all these communities have had a strong presence in the organization and steering of the conference. Correspondingly, ValueTools 2012 solicits previously unpublished contributions that propose new performance evaluation methodologies (or help clarify the limitations of older ones) in practical complex scenarios, and new tools (or novel applications of already established ones) with which to control the performance of complex systems where traditional methods have failed to produce appealing results.

Carlier) Du 19 au 22 juin 2012 se triendra, au laboratoire de mathématiques de l'Université Paris-Sud (Orsay), une conférence dédiée au transport optimal et à ses applications. De nombreux chercheurs de renommée mondiale viendront s'y exprimer. Elle sera précédée, du 18 au 19, par des mini-cours, destinés plus particulièrement aux étudiants (master, doctorants) et aux jeunes chercheurs. La théorie du transport optimal a connu un formidable essor ces deux dernières décennies et s'est avérée un domaine extrêmement fécond dans des branches des mathematiques aussi variées que la théorie des équations aux dérivées partielles, les inégalités fonctionnelles, la géometrie, les probabilités. La puissance de cette théorie a egalement irrigue nombre de domaines appliqués comme la mécanique des fluides, l'économie ou encore le traitement d'images. L'objectif de cette conférence est de réunir des spécialistes reconnus en favorisant les intéractions entre théorie, applications, modélisation et résolution numérique. Le colloque va couvrir en particulier quatre thématiques : la théorie générale du transport, l'existence, la régularité, ses liens avec la géometrie, le tout en relation avec les nécessités provenant de la modélisation ; les équations d'évolution qu'on peut étudier par le transport optimal, sa formulation dynamique, et les flots de gradient ; les applications champ moyens ; les méthodes numériques pour le transport optimal et les applications de ces méthodes. Cette conférence est ouvert au plus grand nombre, notamment aux collègues de la region parisienne, aux doctorants et jeunes chercheurs désireux d'en savoir plus sur ce domaine en pleine expansion, ainsi que tous les chercheurs déjà investis dans ce domaine de recherche. Une aide financière est possible pour les doctorants et les jeunes chercheurs. L'inscription est libre et gratuite, mais obligatoire. Elle doit se faire sur la page prévue à cet effet, ou par courriel : nicolas.bonnottemath.u-psud.fr.

Rondepierre)\ \ \ Cette th\'e8se porte sur le d\'e9veloppement de techniques pour la synth\'e8se\ de strat\'e9gies de contr\'f4le dans les b\'e2timents efficaces \'e9nerg\'e9tiquement\ aussi connus sous le nom de b\'e2timents verts. Ce probl\'e8me est complexe\ de par l'h\'e9t\'e9rog\'e9n\'e9it\'e9 des syst\'e8mes consid\'e9r\'e9s et de par les exigences\ en termes de performance, d'adaptabilit\'e9, de robustesse, de g\'e9n\'e9ricit\'e9\ et de passage \'e0 l'\'e9chelle. Des \'e9tudes r\'e9centes ont montr\'e9s que des gains\ \'e9nerg\'e9tiques pouvant aller jusqu'\'e0 20% peuvent \'eatre obtennus gr\'e2ce \'e0\ une approche globale du contr\'f4le de tels syst\'e8mes.\ \ Le travail th\'e9orique de cette th\'e8se se situera dans le cadre math\'e9matique\ des syst\'e8mes hybrides (syst\'e8mes dynamiques exhibant \'e0 la fois des\ comportements discrets et continus), seuls \'e0 m\'eame de retranscrire\ l'h\'e9t\'e9rog\'e9n\'e9it\'e9 des ph\'e9nom\'e8nes en jeu. Le contr\'f4le des syst\'e8mes hybrides\ requi\'e8rent g\'e9n\'e9ralement le d\'e9veloppement de techniques sp\'e9cifiques\ combinant des id\'e9es des th\'e9ories des syst\'e8mes dynamiques discrets et\ continus. La complexit\'e9 induite par l'interaction entre les dynamiques\ discr\'e8tes et continues rend difficile l'obtention de r\'e9sultats analytiques.\ Pour cette raison, le contr\'f4le des syst\'e8mes hybrides est souvent abord\'e9\ par des m\'e9thodes computationnelles intensives. Les contributions th\'e9oriques\ principales de cette th\'e8se r\'e9sideront dans le d\'e9veloppement de nouveaux\ algorithmes efficaces, bas\'e9s sur la notion de mod\'e8les symboliques (syst\'e8mes\ discrets approchant la dynamique d'un syst\'e8me hybride), pour la synth\'e8se\ de contr\'f4leurs robustes et d\'e9centralis\'e9s. Une \'e9valuation des m\'e9thodes\ d\'e9velopp\'e9es dans le contexte de la gestion de l'\'e9nergie dans les b\'e2timents\ intelligents sera r\'e9alis\'e9e gr\'e2ce \'e0 l'utilisation d'une plate-forme exp\'e9rimentale\ disponible \'e0 l'Universit\'e9 de Grenoble. \ \ Profil souhait\'e9:\ \ Le candidat doit \'eatre titulaire d'un master en math\'e9matiques appliqu\'e9es ou en\ automatique.
