SMAI CEMRACS 2017

Numerical methods for stochastic models: control, uncertainty quantification, mean-field

July 17 - August 25, CIRM, Marseille
cirm
The summer school will take place during the first ten days, July 17-26. Thematic lectures will be given during the first week (July 17-23). They will focus on numerical methods for the analysis of stochastic models associated with stochastic control problems, uncertainty propagation analysis or mean-field type interaction phenomena. A HPC (high performance computing) training will be organized the second week (July 24-26), see below.
