This 5-day workshop will follow the very successful format of previous
Fields-MITACS Industrial Problem-Solving Workshops. Some of the
problems to be discussed will be ones generated during the Connector
Events at the Inaugural
Conference and at the Workshop on Brain Imaging. Participants
will include between 36-50 academic experts (including mathematicians),
and experts from industry.
On the first day, the industrial sponsors will present their problem
statements. The academic experts will divide into teams of 6-10
people each, with one team assigned to each problem. The teams spend
the next 3 days collaborating on solutions to their problem, and
present their solution on the final day of the workshop.
What the workshop is about:
Objectives:
The objective of the FMIPW is to connect industries with faculty,
postdocs and graduate students who have expertise in industrial
case-studies. This interaction is fostered in the specific context
of a problem-solving session over 5 days. The case-studies in
question have a significant mathematical or statistical content.
The interaction between industry and academia has many potential
benefits for both. Academics learn about interesting potential
research problems and find application for their existing tools.
Industries get access to some of the most experienced mathematical
modellers and problem-solvers on the continent.
Format:
The FMIPW will occur over 5 days. Participants will include
between 36-50 academic experts (including mathematicians and statisticians),
and experts from industry. On the first day, the industrial sponsors
will present their problem statements. The academic experts will
divide into teams of 6-10 people each, with one team assigned
to each problem. The teams spend the next 3 days collaborating
on solutions to their problem, and present their solution on the
final day of the workshop.
Deliverables:
At the end of the week, the academic experts make a presentation
consisting of the problem restatement and their solution. This
is a summary of results; the teams also prepare reports for the
industrial sponsors.
