SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT AND CALL FOR PAPERS
HPOPT 2000
5TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON HIGH PERFORMANCE OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES
June 7-9, 2000
Rotterdam, The Netherlands
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Aim of the Conference
------------------------------------------------------------------------
HPOPT 2000 will take place in the context of the Dutch research
project 'High Performance Models for Mathematical Optimization'.
In this project, funded by the Dutch Organization for Scientific
Research (NWO), research teams cooperate from four universities
in the Netherlands: Delft University of Technology, Erasmus
University, Eindhoven University of Technology, and University
of Utrecht.
The aim of the conference is to bring together some of the most
active researchers working on the design and implementation of
optimization algorithms.
We aim to cover the latest algorithmic developments, complexity
results and implementation aspects, including the required tools
from numerical algebra.
Much attention will be given to the recent developments in
semidefinite optimization and its relevance for a wide range of
practical applications in fields such as combinatorial optimization,
engineering design, matrix inequalities in systems and control
theory, and matrix completion problems.
The meeting will consist of a one day tutorial and a two-day
conference. Next to invited presentations there will be sessions
with contributed lectures. The one day tutorial will be devoted to
models and algorithms for optimization under uncertainty.
Specifically, robust and stochastic optimization.
