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.
