Vi allego qui di seguito un mail di Damlamian riguardo un'attivita'
"patrocinata" dal nostro contratto CEE.

Cordiali saluti, Giuseppe

Subject: Cemracs announcement to be distributed as widely as possible

Dear friends,

You may recall that we had agreed last January to "sponsor" some 
training meetings which would be organized outside of our network but 
with some connection with the subject of our network.
So please pass the following announcement around to all your members 
to advertise this training session of the CEMRACS.

Here is a summary:

The  CEMRACS is a summer school on applied and industrial mathematics 
and scientific computation, open to European researchers.
It was created five years ago and has been hosted since by the CIRM 
(Centre International de Recherche en Math{\'e}matiques) in Luminy, 
near Marseille. This year it will be organized by Y. Achdou (U. Paris 
7), C. Le Bris (LNPC, {\'E}cole des ponts), F. Nataf (CNRS, {\'E}cole 
Polytechnique).

     This summer school is different from more classical ones 
organized in the academic world. It is split into two periods. First, 
the  participants attend a series of lectures at ASCI (Laboratoire de 
calcul scientifique intensif du CNRS) in Orsay near Paris, for one 
week.
The goal of these lectures, delivered by well known scientists, is to 
present a state of the art on the topic of interest. Then the 
students move to the CIRM in Marseille, and start a research period 
on problems defined in cooperation with industry. Most of the 
research projects are carried out by pairs of researchers composed of 
one young researcher and a senior one most often from an industrial 
research department.
For the students, it is an opportunity to work on really applied 
problems, and to develop useful contacts.

Each day starts with a one hour seminar on a topic connected with the
theme of the CEMRACS, given by either a member of the CEMRACS or a 
short time visitor.
The rest of the day is devoted to the research projects.


The theme chosen for 2001 is {\sl MULTISCALE PROBLEMS}.

Multi-scale problems in time or space are an important challenge in 
modeling and scientific computing. Some examples of applications are
\begin{itemize}
\item flows in porous media
(geophysics, petroleum exploration, under-surface pollution, nuclear 
and chemical waste disposal, civil engineering)
\item modeling of materials (metallurgy, concrete, glass, damage modeling)
\item composites :
   \begin{itemize}
   \item non linear media
   \item random micro-structures
   \item numerical methods for homogenization
   \end{itemize}
\item propagation in random media
\item fluids with micro-structures (polymers, physiological fluids)
\item meteorology
\end{itemize}
Numerical simulations may be either direct, or based on effective 
behaviors obtained by modelling.
For direct simulation of multi-scale problems, the design of 
efficient and robust algorithms (with a linear complexity) is an 
important challenge.
  Also, intermediate numerical methods which take advantage of the 
multi-scale structure of the problem are attractive.
