Message of the Coordinator

From the comments received from several of you it seems that the study day in Profondval has been very much appreciated. Thank you all for your active participation! If you missed that event, you may have a look at some of the pictures.

Also if you have suggestions for improvement, please send them to Alain Vande Wouver who is in charge of organizing the next edition in Mons (Bergen) on May 24, 2013.

The JojoFest the day after was an opportunity to mix science and friendship in the celebration of our colleague Jojo (pictured here with an authentic cowboy hat received from several of his former PhD students). Again, you may want to look at some of the pictures

(Pictures are due to Benoît Delhaye and François-Xavier Orban, many thanks to them.)

It takes me great pleasure to share the news that Jan C. Willems, a long time and very active member of DYSCO has been named Fellow of the American Mathematical Society (AMS). The inaugural class of 1119 AMS Fellows represents over 600 institutions. Please join me in congratulating Jan for this honor.

Robust Control: A LMI Based Perspective (with Applications to Bioprocesses)

This course is organized within the framework of the Graduate schools SOCN and GEPROC

Lecturer: Prof. Daniel Coutinho, Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (Brazil)

Dates: 24 and 26 October 2012

Place: UMONS, Service d’Automatique, Boulevard Dolez 31, 7000 Mons

The course aims at providing an introduction to the robust control paradigm for stability and performance analysis, and control synthesis for dynamical systems based on the linear matrix inequality (LMI) framework. To this end, the course is organized in four modules which can be separately attended depending on background knowledge of the students on the theory of dynamical systems.

The aim of this course is to familiarise students with algorithms that are indispensable for modern network analysis and optimisation. We will discuss methods to determine components, modularity, shortest paths, different centrality measures and the dynamics of diffusion and random walks. In the first part, we will focus on path- and flow-based algorithms, whereas the second part will be devoted to methods for the spectral analysis of the adjacency matrix and the graph Laplacian. The last part will be devoted to functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and complex networks.

American Mathematical Society names initial class of Fellows of the AMS

Providence, RI - Mathematical scientists from around the world have been named Fellows of the American Mathematical Society (AMS) for 2013, the program's initial year. This inaugural class of 1119 Fellows represents over 600 institutions.

To see the names of individuals, and their institutions, who are in this year's class visit : http://www.ams.org/profession/ams-fellows.

The Fellows of the AMS designation recognizes members who have made outstanding contributions to the creation, exposition, advancement, communication, and utilization of mathematics. Among the goals of the program are to create an enlarged class of mathematicians recognized by their peers as distinguished for their contributions to the profession and to honor excellence.

Regarding the new Fellows of the AMS program and the Society, AMS President Eric M. Friedlander says, "The AMS is the world's largest and most influential society dedicated to mathematical research, scholarship, and education. Recent advances in mathematics include solutions to age-old problems and key applications useful for society. The new AMS Fellows Program recognizes some of the most accomplished mathematicians - AMS members who have contributed to our understanding of deep and important mathematical questions, to applications throughout the scientific world, and to educational excellence."
