WP1 — Mathematical knowledge integration for food model numeric simulation

 

Leader: Nathalie Perrot

Contact details:

Activity type: RTD
Participants short name: INRA, CNRS, WUR
 

Objective:
• a generic structure for integrating knowledge that is applicable to all the objects under study;
• mathematical reconstruction and modelling of the complex systems including validation;
• reverse-engineering testing of the sequence of actions delivering relevant and robust structures determined by the global requirements targets.
 

Role of participants and methodology:
INRA (WP leader): expertise in food modelling and food control, knowledge integration applied to food processes: adapt the new mathematical concepts and algorithms developed by the mathematicians of CNRS as to propose validated, relevant food numerical models for DREAM.
CNRS (ISC-PIF): expertise in complex systems modelling using determinist or stochastic
mathematical approaches: develop and/or adapt original mathematical approaches and algorithms.
WUR: Expertise in modelling simultaneous reaction kinetics, mass and heat transfer in plant food processing.
Expertise with Bayesian belief network modelling. Mathematical modelling of the plant food GMFs.
