About SWIM
Aim of SWIM

Aim of SWIM

Traditionally, workshops in the series of SWIM provide a platform for both theoretical and applied researchers who work on the development, implementation, and application of interval methods, verified numerics, and other related (set-membership) techniques. Possible areas of usage can be found in the fields of

  • the verified solution of initial value problems for ordinary differential equations, differential-algebraic system models, and partial differential equations,
  • scientific computing with guaranteed error bounds,
  • the design of robust and fault-tolerant control systems,
  • the implementation of corresponding software libraries, and
  • the usage of the mentioned approaches for a large variety of system models in areas such as control engineering, data analysis, signal and image processing
  • ...

In contrast to classical conferences, we would like to encourage all researchers to use SWIM 2018 as a forum for a lively discussion of current research work as well as state-of-the-art techniques. Hence, not only fully worked out novel results, but also review contributions summarizing previous work in a concise (and critically analyzed) manner as well as reports about ongoing research activities will be welcome.

To ensure the visibility of our workshop, peer-reviewed full contributions of accepted and presented abstracts will be collected and published after SWIM.

Information concerning abstract submission and post-workshop proceedings can be found below.

Previous Editions of SWIM

Previous Editions of SWIM

The SWIM workshop series was initiated by the French MEA working group on Set Computation and Interval Techniques of the French research group on Automatic Control GDR MACS, where the MEA group especially aimed at promoting interval analysis techniques and applications to a broader community of researchers. Since 2008, SWIM has become an annual keystone event for researchers dealing with various aspects of interval and set-membership methods.

Previous editions of SWIM were held in:

  • Manchester, UK in 2017
  • Lyon, France in 2016
  • Prague, Czech Republic in 2015
  • Uppsala, Sweden in 2014
  • Brest, France in 2013
  • Oldenburg, Germany in 2012
  • Bourges, France in 2011
  • Nantes, France in 2010
  • Lausanne, France in 2009
  • Montpellier, France in 2008

In view of the fact that the city of Rostock will celebrate its 800th anniversary in 2018 and that the University of Rostock (founded in 1419) can look back to an almost 600-year time span of tradition and innovation, we cordially invite you to participate in our workshop with interesting contributions.
