Aims

Bio-engineers are more and more confronted to management problems of complex natural and living systems. Among the methodologies that can be used, the systemic approach and its associated tools (modeling, simulation and optimization) occupy an increasing place owing to / thanks to, among others, the development of the micro-information. This course aims to apply the systemic approach to a system based on the realization of a project.

Main themes

1) Introduction to the theory of the analysis of systems (10 hrs)
- definition of systems
- terminology of modeling (glossary / vocabulary)
- typology of models
- steps of modeling (conception, resolution procedures, verification/benchmarking, validation and analysis of scenarios)
- introduction to some analysis techniques (stability of models, simulation, optimization)

2) Accomplishing a project of modeling in the field of biological, agronomic or environmental engineering (20hrs)
