Domain #4: Optimisation
Shifting from the descriptive to the prescriptive
The understanding of the world through the lenses of modelling and simulation is a classic paradigm, renewed by the level of complexity of the systems that make it up today.
In order to move from the descriptive to the prescriptive, the exploration of modelling spaces and the identification of sub-spaces of interest are carried out using optimisation methods adapted to specific use cases.
These methods must be capable of handling large amounts of data, the uncertainties attached to them and the associated time constraints.
Challenges
Companies and public players must optimise the design and operations of complex systems such as transport or energy infrastructures, using simulation methods and algorithms.
Positioning of the institute
Optimisation irrigates many related scientific fields (scientific computing, machine learning, networks, etc.). IRT SystemX has a substantial research force in this field to provide state-of-the-art solutions, but also to carry out more upstream research on large systems, stochastic problems, sequential decision-making, solvers adapted to machine learning and finally on simulation by multi-agent systems, which are very well suited to the resolution of use cases in various fields (transport, logistics, energy, etc.).
