3- Two Post doc positions at NTNU, Trondheim, Norway
(source : H. Zidani)
At NTNU we have two post doc positions available with application
deadline October 20th.
Postdoctoral Fellow in equilibrium modeling of economics
The post doc will have as the main working area the further development
of the spatial computable general equilibrium Regpol which was developed
in a former project as well as the linking of this model to the energy
system model TIMES. The model is currently myopic, and the plan is to
make a dynamic version of it.
Different combinations of policy instruments and measures for reduction
of GHG, including further deployment of renewable energy production,
will impact the energy and power systems as well as the overall economy.
The connections between the systems are complex and difficult to
foresee. Therefore, this project will study the impact different energy
and climate policies could have on the overall economy.

Postdoctoral Fellow in optimization of energy system and markets
The work will be linked to the European project “SET-NAV: Navigating the
roadmap for clean, secure and efficient energy innovation) financed by
Horizon 2020. The research activity is linked to the projects main
objective: To support strategic decision making in Europe’s energy
sector, enhancing innovation towards a clean, secure and efficient
energy system.
Our research will enable the European Commission, national governments
and regulators to facilitate the development of optimal technology
portfolios by market actors. These contributions of the SET-Nav project
rest on the pillars: modelling, policy and pathway analysis. The Post
Doc will work with both model extensions and the practial use of the
models in studies of European energy and climate policy. The main models
are:
EMPIRE: This is long-term power market model for Europe combining a 50
year investment horizon with operation of the system under load and
generation uncertainty. The model will be extended by heat systems and
natural gas as well as demand response.

4- 3 year Postdoc (PhD) Position in Computational Control and
Optimization, Freiburg, Germany
(source : F. Bonnans et H. Zidani)
The University of Freiburg looks for an experienced researcher in the
field of computational control and optimization. The researcher
shall take a leading role in the development of embedded optimization
algorithms for nonlinear model predictive control and supervise a
team of PhD students and student assistants.
BACKGROUND
The position will be involved in two newly established research programs
on optimization-based control in Germany that are funded by
the DFG and by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy,
respectively. The overall aim of the two projects in Freiburg is to
develop methods and open-source software for nonlinear model predictive
control, and to help to apply these methods to real-world systems that
are in operation at the project partners (novel types of emission
reduced combustion engines in Aachen and medium sized
wind turbines in Northern Germany, respectively). The position is of pay
level E13 and initially for three years, with the possibility of a
prolongation by another three years. The researcher will become a full
time member of the Systems Control and Optimization Laboratory, led by
Prof. Dr. Moritz Diehl, which is embedded into Freiburg University’s
young and growing Faculty of Engineering as well as its Faculty of
Mathematics and Physics. The laboratory is involved in teaching for
master programs in embedded and micro-systems engineering, renewable
energy engineering and management, computer science, and mathematics,
and the position offers the possibility to train the student supervision
and teaching skills (e.g. for 2-4 hours per week).
Depending on the background, interests and qualification level, the
researcher can work towards a habilitation (or, in special cases, a PhD)
in engineering, computer science or numerical mathematics, and prepare
her-/himself for a high level research career in academia or industry.
The current research focus of the Systems Control and Optimization
Laboratory is in the area of algorithms for numerical optimal control
and for embedded optimization in the milli- and microsecond range and
applications to renewable energy systems. The
researcher can cooperate with a vibrant team of five internal and four
closely interacting external PhD students, one postdoc, and a number of
master and job students, and build on a successful track record in
open-source software development including the existing tools CasADi and
ACADO. The team’s current software development plan is to create a new
fully modular software library for embedded nonlinear optimal control,
together with some other teams, and the activities of the experienced
researcher are expected to play an important role in this effort. The
city of Freiburg is one of the sunniest cities in Germany and is
surrounded by the black forest, and offers ample opportunities for
outdoor activities during lunch breaks, evenings or weekends to team
members.
CANDIDATE PROFILE
Ideal candidates have a PhD degree in one of the following disciplines
or a related field: control engineering, numerical mathematics, or
computer science. Exceptionally strong candidates with a master, but
without a PhD, or candidates with a habilitation are also encouraged
to apply. The researcher should have a good background or interest in
mathematical optimization, numerical mathematics, dynamic system
simulation, and programming (MATLAB, C/C++, Python, Julia, ...), as well
as a desire to contribute to the collaborative development of
open-source software for numerical optimal control and the success of
real-world experiments. Proficiency in English is a requirement. The
position adheres to the European policy of balanced ethnicity, age and
gender. Both men and women are encouraged to apply.
APPLICATION
To apply, send an email to diehl at imtek.uni-freiburg.de with CC to
christine.paasch at imtek.uni-freiburg.de. Subject of your email
should be: “Application to SYSCOP Postdoc Position”. Please include:

26- StOpt library
(source : D. Aussel)
New stochastic optimization library
The StOpt library developped at OSIRIS department at EDF R&D and used
in some operational projects is released as an open source project.
https://gitlab.com/stochastic-control/StOpt
The STochastic OPTimization library (StOpt) aims at providing tools in
C++ for solving some stochastic optimization problems encountered in
finance or in the industry. A python binding is available for some C++
objects provided permitting to easily solve an optimization problem by
regression.
Different methods are available :
- Dynamic programming methods based on Monte Carlo with regressions
(global, local and sparse regressors), for underlying states
following some uncontrolled Stochastic Differential Equations
(python binding provided).
- Semi-Lagrangian methods for Hamilton Jacobi Bellman general
equations for underlying states following some controlled Stochastic
Differential Equations (C++ only)
- Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming methods to deal with stochastic
stocks management problems in high dimension (C++ only)
For each method, a framework is provided to optimize the problem and
then simulate it out of the sample using the optimal commands
previously calculated. Parallelization methods based on OpenMP and
MPI are provided in this framework permitting to solve high
dimensional problems on clusters.

27- Compte rendu de la réunion du comité de liaison du groupe MODE du 19
septembre 2016
(source : F. Silva)
Compte rendu de la réunion du comité de liaison du 19 septembre 2016
Présents: M. Akian, L. Bourdin, S. Cafieri, J.-B. Caillau, O. Cots
(invité CO local, journées MODE 2016) , O. Fercoq, F. Malgouyres, J.
Malick, P. Mertikopoulos, R. Laraki, O. Serea, F. Silva et H. Zidani.
1) Bilan des journées Mode 2016
O. Cots (IRIT, ENSEEIHT) a fait un bilan des journées MODE 2016
https://mode2016.sciencesconf.org/
Point principaux signalés par O. Cots:
- 84 résumés reçus, dont 6 ont été refusés.
- Une demi-journée (l'après-midi du 24 mars) a été dédiée à la session
industrielle.
- Une conférence grand public a été donnée par R. Laraki.
- Prix Dodu décerné à M. Skomra pour son exposé intitulé "Les
Spectraèdes tropicaux et leur relation aux jeux stochastiques".
- Un mini-cours, organisé par le GdR MOA, sur le contrôle optimal a été
donné par F. Bonnans (Inria Saclay) et P. Martinon (Inria Saclay).
O. Cots nous a signalé des difficultés rencontrées pour les paiements
des frais d'inscription et des problèmes de communication avec
l'administration de la SMAI. L'inscription et le paiement ne se
faisaient pas dans le même temps. Ce fait a entraîné plusieurs retards
de paiement, 18 inscriptions impayées (parmi 140), et les participants
n'ont pas reçu l'attestation de paiement le premier jour de la
conférence.
J.-B. Caillau rappelle que les bénéfices des journées MODE est la seule
source d'argent pour le groupe SMAI-MODE.
Le comité a discuté plusieurs solutions possibles:
i) Paiement par carte bancaire.
ii) Utilisation de l'interface gérée par la SMAI, mise en place pour le
fonctionnement administratif des conférences SMAI. Cette modalité
permettrai à la SMAI de recevoir directement les paiements.
iii) Remplacement de la plateforme scienconf ou modification de ses
paramètres.
iv) Possibilité de gérer l'administration des frais d'inscription
localement. Il faudrait vérifier cette possibilité auprès de la SMAI.
v) Utilisation de la plateforme easychair (e.g. le système mis en place
par le PGMO).
2) Organisation de MODE 2018
- Nos collègues P. Mertikopoukos et J. Malick ont accepté de s'investir
dans l'organisation des journées MODE 2018 à Grenoble. Le comité
remercie cet engagement.
- Il s’agira des premières journées MODE à Grenoble.
- En principe, le budget nécessaire pour organiser la conférence devrait
être comparable au 17.000 euros du budget de la conférence MODE 2014 à
Rennes. P. Mertikopoukos mentionne des éventuelles difficultés pour
obtenir de subventions des sponsors à Grenoble.
- À Grenoble, il existe une communauté importante en apprentissage qui
est un sujet très liée aux thématiques du groupe MODE.
- Les bonnes pratiques de l'organisation (texte de J.-N. Corvellec) sont
rappelées en annexe.
- Le comité de liaison proposera un chair scientifique qui interagira
avec le chair local pour constituer les comités locaux et scientifiques.
Plusieurs noms ont été évoqués. Le chair scientifique est le responsable
des soumissions, des classements, et il est en contact régulier avec le
comité local.
- La semaine du 26 mars 2018 est une première semaine tentative pour le
déroulement des journées. Il faudrait prévoir les 3 dernières journées
de la semaine pour MODE, laissant ainsi les deux premières journées au
cours organisé par le GdR MOA.
- Deux lieux ont été évoqués pour le déroulement des journées, le
``Domaine Universitaire de Saint Martin d'Hères'' et Autrans, dans le
Vercors.
- Le comité suggère de maintenir la demi-journée dédiée exclusivement à
la session industrielle. Cette organisation a bien fonctionné lors des
journées MODE à Rennes (2014) et à Toulouse (2016).
3) Bilan des activités à organiser par le groupe MODE pour 2016-2017.
- Journée jointe MODE-MAS
Date: 9 janvier 2017.
Lieu: IHP.
Liste de conférenciers: P. Cénac (Dijon), P. Combettes (Paris), G. Fort
(Paris), R. Henrion (Berlin), A. Juditsky (Grenoble) et C. Léonard
(Nanterre).
Cette journée sera entièrement financée par la SMAI. J.-B. Caillau
encourage les membres du comité à s'inscrire.
- Probablement, R. Laraki fera une proposition pour une journée
MODE-ECO-JEUX. J.-B. Caillau souligne l'importance de l'Économie
Mathématique dans la création du groupe MODE. Plusieurs noms ont été
évoqués pour l'organisation de la journée.
- La conférence SMAI aura lieu entre le 5 et le 9 juin 2017.
Pour l'instant, la conférence n'a pas de site web. H. Frankowska
représentera les thématiques du groupe MODE au sein du CS du congrès
SMAI. J.-B. Caillau encourage l'organisation des mini-symposiums tout
en rappelant que le groupe MODE donnera une aide financière de 1000
euros par mini-symposium associé aux thématiques du groupe. Dans la
prochaine lettre du groupe, O. Serea informera les dates de la
conférence et le soutien du groupe pour 3 mini-symposiums (composés
d'environ 4 ou 5 exposés).
4) Divers
- Le comité rappelle que le groupe MODE ne finance pas des conférences.
- Le comité a unanimement accepté de parrainer la journée dédiée à
Jonathan Borwein à l’IHP.
- Site web: L. Bourdin signale que plusieurs liens aux équipes
d'optimisation ne fonctionnent pas. Les lettres préparées par O. Serea
(et ses résumés) seront envoyées à L. Bourdin pour faciliter la gestion
du site web.
- Le noms suivants ont été évoqués pour le prochain renouvellement du
CL: A. Blanchet (Toulouse I), F. Caubet (Paul Sabatier) et F.
Santambrogio (Orsay).
5) Fixation de 3 dates pour les réunions restantes de l’année:
- Réunion 1: Lundi 05 Décembre à 14h.
Un doodle sera fait pour fixer les réunions 2 (mars ou avril) et 3
(juin).
Annexe: Texte envoyé par J.-N. Corvellec sur les “bonnes pratiques” du
fonctionnement du comité de liaison SMAI-MODE.
Lors de l'AG du groupe qui a lieu a l'occasion des Journées SMAI-MODE,
l'attribution de l'organisation des Journées suivantes est décidée, avec
désignation d'un ou deux organisateurs locaux, qui se chargent de la
mise en place d'un comité d'organisation local.
Le bureau du groupe désigne, dans un délai raisonnable, le comité
scientifique des Journées. Ce comité est composé d'une douzaine de
membres, dont au plus la moitié de membres du comité scientifique des
Journées précédentes (membres assurant la continuité de l'action du
comité), et au moins un des organisateurs locaux.
Le nombre de participations consécutives au comité scientifique est
limité à deux.
Les nouveaux membres du comité sont choisis en fonction des choix du
groupe quant à la représentation des thématiques lors des Journées. Ces
choix visent notamment a assurer une bonne alternance des thématiques
d'une édition des journées a l'autre, ou à accueillir de nouvelles
thématiques, choix qui se reflètent particulièrement dans les
conférences plénières.
Le bureau soumet au comité scientifique ses suggestions quant au nombre
des conférences plénières et à la désignation des conférenciers, en
fournissant une liste de conférenciers potentiels classés en fonction
des orientations thématiques mentionnées ci-dessus. Le comité
scientifique tient le bureau régulièrement informé de l'avancement de
ses travaux.
Je ne crois pas utile de dire quoi que ce soit sur l'aspect financier:
les inscriptions sont gérées par la SMAI et alimentent le compte du
groupe, et les organisateurs locaux doivent trouver le financement voulu
localement.

28- Deces de A. Prékopa
(source : M. Théra)
Dr. András Prékopa, mathematician and member of the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences ("MTA"), passed away on September 18, 2016, at the age of 87,
surrounded by his family.
András Prékopa was born on September 11, 1929, in Nyiregyháza, Hungary.
He graduated from Kossuth Lajos High School in 1947 and obtained a
Master of Sciences degree in mathematics, physics, and descriptive
geometry in 1952 from the University of Debrecen. He defended his Ph.D.
in 1956, for which he obtained a Grünwald Géza prize from the Bolyai
János Mathematical Society. He defended his higher doctorate in 1971.
Between 1956 and 1968, he was a professor of Eötvös Loránd University
("ELTE") and subsequently became a professor of the Budapest Technical
University.
In addition to his university responsibilities, between 1970 and 1985 he
was also the head of the Operations Research Department of the MTA's
Computer Science Center and subsequently became the founder and head of
the Applied Mathematics Division of the Computer Science and Automation
Research Institute of the MTA. In 1979 the MTA awarded him corresponding
membership, which was followed by full membership in 1985. In 1983, he
founded the Operations Research Department at ELTE and became its first
chairman. In 1985, he accepted an invitation to join the faculty of
Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey, where he became a
distinguished professor of statistics, mathematics, and operations
research. In 1977, the Mexican Academy of Sciences awarded him
corresponding membership; in 1991 he founded and became the honorary
president of the Hungarian Operations Research Society; and in 1996, the
János Bolyai Mathematical Society awarded him honorary presidency. He
was the founding editor-in-chief of the Applied Mathematics Journal.
Between 1981 and 1989, he was the president of the Mathematical
Programming Society's Stochastic Programming Committee. His scientific
work was characterized by the high level unification of theory and
application. Some excellent examples of this are the applications and
implementations of his models and procedures in the areas of hydrology,
electric power production, economics, finance, and biology, among
others. 58 scientists obtained advanced degrees underAndrás Prékopa's
guidance.
In 1992, the Bolyai János Mathematical Society awarded him a Szele Tibor
prize, in 1996 he received a Széchényi prize, in 2002 he received the
grand prize of the Arany János Foundation, and in 2003 the Association
of European Operational Research Societies awarded him a gold medal. In
2005, he received a Merit Cross award from the Republic of Hungary, in
2012 he received a Khachiyan prize, and in 2014 he was awarded the
President's Prize by the Informs Society.
During his scientific career, he published 20 books, several hundred
scientific papers, and 150 educational and popular scientific articles.
His most important books are Probability Theory, Linear Programming,
Stochastic Programming Models and their Applications, and the recently
published Scheduling of Power Generation, of which he is the first named
author.
With his departure, the Hungarian scientific community lost an
outstanding scholar and teacher of operations research and applied
mathematics as well as a scientific event organizer with extraordinary
abilities.

En lisant le Monde daté d'aujourd'hui, j'ai appris le décès de notre
collègue Robert Janin, survenu dans sa 72 ie année à Caen. Ceux d'entre
vous qui le souhaitent peuvent adresser un mot à son épouse Marie
Laurence, 3, rue Georges Goupil, 14000 Caen.
Pour mémoire, Robert a été professeur a l'université de Poitiers, avant
de terminer sa carrière aux Antilles.
Je garde de lui le souvenir d'un collègue jovial et fort sympathique.
Décidément 2016 n'est pas une bonne année pour notre communauté.
