SAGA Workshop, March 2010 PDF Print E-mail

Winter School

SHAPES, ALGEBRA, GEOMETRY AND ALGORITHMS

15-19 March 2010 
Auron, France

Supported by EC through the Marie Curie ITN Network SAGA
http://www.saga-network.eu
 
AIMS AND SCOPE

This workshop aims at supporting the exchange of ideas between the fields of Algebraic Geometry, Numerical Analysis, and Geometric Modeling. Topics of interest include:
  •   Geometry of curves and surfaces.
  •   Rational/implicit representation.
  •   Resultant constructions and implicitization.
  •   Singularities: detection and analysis.
  •   Curves and surfaces classification.
  •   Intersection problems.
  •   Approximate and/ or certified methods.
  •   Computer Implementations of Algorithmic Algebraic Geometry.
  •   Isogeometric Analysis.
A significant part of the time will be devoted to tutorial presentations, given by guest speakers.
Special sessions on free software (Axel, Mathemagix, ...) for applications in algebraic geometry and geometric modeling will also be held during the workshop.
Contributed research talks as well as presentations  connected to  the SAGA network activity are also planned.
 
Invited Speakers:
Oliver Labs (University of Saarbrucken)
Elias Tsigaridas (University of Athens)
Tae-Wan Kim (Seoul National University)
Wenping Wang (Hong Kong University)

Mathemagix tutorials by J. Berthomieu, J. van der Hoeven, G. Lecerf, Ph. Trébuchet

PARTICIPATION

Participation is open to all people interested in the topics of the SAGA network.
 
To register, please fill in this form. Participants who are interested in giving a talk must mention it in this form. Note that the selection of talks will be based on the assessment of suitability for the workshop. 
 
Warning: the number of participants is limited to about 50 people. Please, register as soon as possible.
 
LOCATION
 
The workshop will be held at Auron, in the conference room of the hotel Las Donnas.  Auron is a large ski resort in the south Alps, about two hours away from the Nice airport, by bus.
 
Bus #740 (see also here for more details, including time tables, but in french) runs between Nice Airport (Terminal 1) and Auron. A one way trip costs 1 Euro and takes approximatively 2 hours. All trips must be booked by advance (cf. #740).
 
There is two buses per day: one in the morning at 9:45(am) and one in the afternoon at 17:00(pm). For instance, there is a bus leaving Nice airport at 17:00(pm) for Auron on Sunday 14th March, and at 9:45(am) on Monday 15th March.
ACCOMODATION
 
Each participant should make directly his own reservation at the hotel Las Donnas, by telephone (+33.4.93.23.00.03), before February 15th. Please refer to the INRIA workshop "SAGA" when booking your room.
