Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles

The Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles (SMAI) is a French scientific society aiming at promoting applied mathematics, similarly to the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM).

SMAI was founded in 1983 to contribute to the development of applied mathematics for research, commercial applications, publications, teaching, and industrial training. As of 2009, the society has nearly 1300 members, including both individuals and institutions.

SMAI is directed by an administration elected by the general assembly. Its chief activities are: * to organize conferences and workshops, * to publish the thrice-yearly bulletin Matapli, which contains overviews, book reviews, and information about theses and upcoming conferences, * to publish scholarly journals including Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique (M2AN), Contrôle Optimisation et Calcul des Variations (COCV), Probabilités et Statistiques (P&S), Recherche opérationnelle (RO), ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, and the cross-disciplinary journal MathematicS in Action (MathS in A.).
