Theme Team Metamodeling, Continuous Optimization and Applications (MOCA)

Presentation

The MOCA team studies the management of numerical simulation models and their use in continuous optimization. Metamodeling encompasses here two types of "models of models" :

    • Statistical metamodels (e.g., Gaussian processes) that are built from input-output data. The data is often generated by the simulation of physical systems (e.g., with finite elements models). We specialize in statistical metamodels that are compatible with sparse data. Such metamodels typically underly optimization algorithms.

    • Metamodels that aim at producing computer programs by describing and processing a class of models. Such metamodels may also be metacodes that algorithmically describe a set of possible program instances.

The team has contributions in domains such as continuous optimization theory and computer experiments. In addition, the group implements simulation softwares for high-performance computing, discrete events simulation and numerical reproductibility.

 

Keywords:

  • Statistical models
  • Continuous optimization
  • Discrete event simulation
