Mallorca Meeting  Progress in application of pilot methods and tools on simplified dynamics  Begin to design the next versions of the models, and of the methods and tools.  Organise the work on the periodic report

Mid-term report

Time frame  1st Period covered: from 1st February 2007 to 31 July 2008 (Duration: 18 months)  Periodic reports should be submitted within 45 days following the end of the reporting period. ->Deadline: 15 September  The Commission staff will assess periodic activity reports within 45 days after reception

Reports  The periodic activity report  The periodic management report  The periodic report on the distribution of the Community’s contribution (It shows the distribution of funds made by the coordinator to contractors during the reporting period)

Periodic activity report  Publishable executive summary  Section 1: Project objectives and major achievements  Section 2: Workpackage progress of the period  Section 3: Consortium management  Section 4: Other issues  Annex – Plan of using and disseminating the knowledge

Periodic management report  Section 1 - Justification of major cost items and resources  Section 2 – Form C Financial statement per activity for the contractual reporting period, to be completed by each contractor  Section 3 – Summary financial report

Work during the meeting  Identify during the discussions the points we would like to stress in:  the executive summary  workpackage progress  Have a specific session about dissemination (book)

Resilience: a few reminders

Standard view of resilience  Dynamical system with a set of attractors A1A1 A2A2 A3A3

More general resilience problem  Dynamical system with possibility of action  Desired subset of state space (viability constraint set) A1A1 A2A2 A3A3

Generalised attractor: viability kernel  Viability kernel: set of states from which there exists a policy of action maintaining the system inside the constraint set A1A1 A2A2 A3A3

Generalised resilience  Capture basin of viability kernel: all states from which there exists a policy of action driving the system into the viability kernel in finite time. The system is resilient for perturbations driving it in this capture basin. A1A1 A2A2 A3A3

Generalised resilience index  Associate a cost to the restoration, computation of iso-cost lines A1A1 A2A2 A3A3

 16:00 – 16:45  SimExplorer  Viability  Stochastic differential equations  16:45 – 17:00 break  17:00 – 18:30  Language dynamics  Bacteria dynamics  Flickr model
