About SWIM

The goal of SWIM is to bring together researchers and practitioners working on interval methods and their applications, in the broader sense, providing a forum to review and discuss the state-of-the-art in this area and fostering cross-fertilization between different approaches.

The SWIM 2013 workshop is intended to build on the success of previous editions, held in Montpellier in 2008, Lausanne in 2009, Nantes in 2010, and Bourges in 2011, Odenburg in 2012, which was initiated by the french MEA working group on Set Computation and Interval Techniques of the French research group on Automatic Control GDR MACS. The MEA group aims at promoting interval analysis, constraint propagation and other set methods to apply them in estimation, robotics, control, planning, design, verification, computer aided proof, and other engineering, computer science and applied mathematics areas.

During previous editions of SWIM, talks were given by speakers coming from several countries among which are Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, Poland, Spain, and Switzerland. The participants could discuss their most recent ideas and developments and thought together about the most promising new directions.

The presentation slides are published online.

Call for presentation

If you want to present a talk addressing the theory of interval-related methods or their applications, please send a one page abstract (with title, authors, and affiliation) to luc.jaulin@ensta-bretagne.fr, nacim.ramdani@univ-orleans.fr, annick.billon-coat@ensta-bretagne.fr no later than May 7th. 

To help us for the organization, as soon as you can, please 
1- Send us your abstract, or
2- tell us that you plan to make a presentation but your abstract will be sent later, or 
3- tell us that you are planning to come without any presentation. 
All presentations and slides have to be in English.

Fee

The workshop is free, but you will have to pay your own meals (5 euros if you eat inside the school). We got some funds to pay some coffees and one meal in a restaurant.There is a possibility to have a room at ENSTA-Bretagne 11 euros (with the breakfast). The number of rooms is limited to 30, so please, make your reservation as soon as possible

Tentative program (Now available)

Invited Speaker

The invited speaker will be Warwick Tucker. See his website.

CAPA - Computer Aided Proof in Analysis

Professional Biography
After receiving his doctoral degree in mathematics at Uppsala University 
in 1998, proving that the Lorenz attractor exists, Tucker spent two years at IMPA (Rio de Janeiro, Brasil) as a postdoctoral fellow.

During the years 2000 to 2002, Tucker held a H.C. Wang assistant professorship at Cornell University (Ithaca, USA) teaching and doing research in mathematics. During this period, Tucker was awarded the Swedish Mathematical Society's Wallenberg Prize, and the R.E. Moore Prize for Applications of Interval Analysis.

Upon his return to Sweden, Tucker was awarded a five-year research fellowship from the Swedish Royal Academy of Sciences.

In 2004, Tucker was awarded the European Mathematical Society's Prize for distinguished contributions in Mathematics.

In 2007, Tucker formed the CAPA group at the University of Bergen (Bergen, Norway). In 2009, the group moved to its current location at Uppsala University.

Tucker was promoted to full professor in 2011.
