The international workshop SIGMA’2024 is organized by SMAI-SIGMA, one of the five activity groups of the SMAI (Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles). This activity group aims at developing new links between different mathematical communities by overcoming somewhat artificial frontiers, and thus to create within SMAI new activities and synergies around topics such as signal and  image processing, approximation theory, computational geometry and geometric modelling. The main goal of this workshop is therefore to federate the communities of the above-mentioned subjects, to facilitate exchanges about joint knowledge and tools, and to initiate new interaction.

In order to reach these goals, the meeting is organized around 20 invited one hour talks in the different subjects of expertise of SIGMA. These talks will be accessible to a large audience, and given by international experts either in the central topics of SIGMA or in topics that may generate fruitfuil interactions. Furthermore, the meeting will also include 30 minutes contributed talks as well as poster sessions, which will in particular encourage young researchers to present their results, as well as free time left for informal discussions.

La rencontre internationale SIGMA’2024 est proposée par le groupe thématique SIGMA de la SMAI. Ce groupe a pour objectif de développer des liens forts entre diverses communautés scientifiques, au-delà de frontières parfois artificielles, et de créer ainsi, au sein de la SMAI, une synergie autour des thèmes signal et image, géométrie algorithmique, modélisation géométrique, approximation. Cette rencontre est donc conçue prioritairement pour aider à fédérer des actions de recherche autour des thématiques ci-dessus en permettant un partage efficace de connaissances/outils et l’interaction effective entre ces communautés.

Le partage de connaissances se fera grâce à 20 exposés invités de synthèse d’une heure environ, par des spécialistes internationaux de premier plan dans les  hématiques du groupe SIGMA ou des thèmes extérieurs susceptibles d’interactions. La rencontre comportera aussi de des communications orales de 30 minutes et des posters, en particulier présentés par des jeunes chercheurs et doctorants, et des plages de temps laissées libres pour les discussions.
