ODESIM : Workshop

One of the workpackage of the project is dedicated to internal dessimenation of information. In this respect a two day workshop has been organized at CERFACS on May 13-14, 1996 on the topic of the Optimum Design of Multibody Systems. Although it was an internal workshop, it had been agreed by the consortium to open this workshop to other companies. People form Aerospatiale, Matra Marconi Space, Alcatel, EDF, CNES, Meteo France, CEA,... have been invited.
