Welcome to the RMM blog

This blog is aimed at Engineers and Applied Mathematicians interested in developing tools (both algorithms and software) which can handle, at the conceptual level, the three difficulties that are usually met in any real world project :

The data are missing or corrupted ;

The laws describing the phenomena are not completely known ;

The objectives are multiple and contradictory.

The RMM program site is hosted at the SCM site. Bernard Beauzamy has devised a list of the different aspects of the on-going program. There are as follows:

What is a model ?

Mathematical description of the objectives

The basic rule of real-life mathematics

Can we model everyday life preoccupations ?

Probabilistic methods

The four steps of an RMM program

List of participating people and institutions

On going events

RMM Library
