4- Ph. D. and Postdoc positions - Erlangen
(source: A. Pratelli)

Dear colleagues, as many of you know I have just moved to the University

I have then some positions to fill here, both for Ph.D. students and for
Post-doc (some
of the positions will be covered by the ERC Starting Grant of which I am
responsible,
while others are covered directly by the university).

The positions will be devoted to research in Analysis, more specifically
in Calculus of
Variations and PDE, under different points of view. Moreover, there is a
broad flexibility
regarding the starting date of the positions.

For more informations, one can look at the web page

http://www.analysis.math.fau.de/staff-members/pratelli-aldo/prof-dr-aldo-pratelli/positions/post-doc-and-phd-positions.html

and/or send me an email.

I would be very grateful if you could spread this news among all the
potentially interested
people.

8- session "Th�orie des jeux et recherche op�rationnelle" ROADEF 2013
(source: J. Renault)

Nous vous invitons � soumettre une contribution � la session "Th�orie
des jeux et recherche op�rationnelle" lors de la conf�rence ROADEF 2013 :

http://roadef2013.utt.fr/

Le th�me est d�crit ci-dessous. Nous vous rappelons que la date limite de
la soumission est le 15er Nov 2012.

Th�me :

La th�orie des jeux est un outil de mod�lisation de concurrence dans un
syst�me avec des participants ayant des int�r�ts diff�rents, voire
concurrents.
Actuellement, les syst�mes informatiques comme les r�seaux sont de tels
syst�mes : en effet il est de moins en moins r�aliste
de supposer que chacun agit uniquement dans l'int�r�t des performances
globales de l'ensemble.

Il faut comprendre et adapter la th�orie des jeux � l'informatique. Cette
session est d�di�e aux interactions entre la th�orie des jeux et la RO,
l'optimisation combinatoire et l'algorithmique. Les sujets
vis�s sont:

  - Le calcul et l'existence d'�quilibres et de solutions.
  - M�canisme d'incitation pour la coop�ration entre les acteurs. -
L'�valuation de la qualit� des �quilibres/solutions en termes de prix
de l'anarchie/stabilit�, �quit�, etc.
  - L'apprentissage des �quilibres/�tats stables, (propri�t�s
  de convergence,  les m�canismes de coordination).
  - Aspects �conomiques de l'informatique r�partie.

Organisateurs:  Johanne Cohen, Universit� Versaille St-Quentin.
                Laurent Gourv�s, Universit� Paris Dauphine.
                Stefano Moretti, Universit� Paris Dauphine.

10- Congr�s SMAI 2013 (27-31 mai 2013) : appel a minisymposia
(source: J.F. Bonnans, A. Lejay)

Le Congr�s SMAI 2013 aura lieu du 27 au 31 mai 2013 � Seignosse,
dans les Landes, � une trentaine de kilom�tres de Bayonne et de Dax.
http://smai.emath.fr/smai2013/

Ce congr�s biennal a pour but de rassembler toute la communaut�
fran�aise
de math�matiques appliqu�es dans ses diverses composantes, en particulier
� travers les groupes th�matiques de la SMAI (SMAI-GAMNI, SMAI-MAS,
SMAI-MODE, SMAI-MAIRCI et SMAI-SIGMA). Il permet le d�veloppement et la
promotion des interactions entre scientifiques universitaires et
industriels.
Il est l'occasion pour des chercheurs confirm�s de niveau international
d'exposer
leurs travaux r�cents lors de conf�rences pl�ni�res, mais
�galement pour de
nombreux jeunes chercheurs, doctorants et post-doctorants, de pr�senter
leurs
travaux lors de sessions parall�les ou poster. Il comprend aussi des
minisymposia
th�matiques d'une dur�e d'une heure et demie dont l'importance
est fondamentale,
en particulier par la vari�t� des th�mes pr�sent�s.

Un appel � candidatures est lanc� pour l'organisation de ces
minisymposia.

Merci aux personnes int�ress�es d'envoyer d�s que possible, et en
tous cas
avant le 30 novembre (date limite)
� l'adresse
Minisymposia.SMAI2013 at fsmp.fr <mailto:Minisymposia.SMAI2013 at fsmp.fr>
une proposition indiquant
le nom de l'organisateur et son email,
le titre du minisymposium propos� et une description de quelques lignes,
la liste des orateurs pressentis.

La pr�sence d'au moins un chercheur industriel dans chaque minisymposium
est
tr�s vivement souhait�e.
Les projets de minisymposia port�s directement ou indirectement par des
ANR ou
GdR sont particuli�rement encourag�s, ainsi que ceux li�s au th�me
"2013 Math�matiques pour la plan�te terre <http://mpe2013.org>".
L'organisateur d'un minisymposium sera exon�r� des droits d'inscription
au congr�s.
La liste des minisymposia retenus sera connue milieu d�cembre.

Merci de diffuser largement cette annonce.

14- Nouveau livre : "Archimedes' Modern Works"
(source: B. Beauzamy)

Je suis heureux de vous annoncer la parution de mon livre "Archimedes'
Modern Works":

http://scmsa.eu/archives/SCM_Archimedes_order.htm

Archim�de est mort il y a plus de 2200 ans et la plupart des gens
pensent que ses id�es
ont toutes �t� incorpor�es par la science moderne, et qu'il appartient
au pass�.
Ce livre prouve qu'il n'en est rien. Il montre que les "cartes
d'Archim�de" sont la clef aux
probl�mes modernes d'allocation des ressources et que la "M�thode
d'Archim�de" permet
d'apporter des solutions robustes  � des questions scientifiques
d'actualit� : optique, contr�le
non destructif, etc.
