Abstract:
 

This presentation introduces recent research efforts and results in identifying and predicting time-dependent processes, with various degrees of model discontinuity and uncertainty. This generalization is gradually unfolded, while always motivated by real-world challenges and applications of them that are a part of   today's fascinating OR.

We aim at displaying joy and interest in state-of-the art applied mathematics and to invite to education, research and developing our  countries by its help, in our scientific community of OR. In fact, we try to "make appetite" for this!
