Paul Y. Tseng Memorial Lectureship in Continuous Optimization
The Mathematical Optimization Society invites nominations for the
Paul Y. Tseng Memorial Lectureship in Continuous Optimization. This
prize was established in 2011 and will be presented for the first
time at the Twenty First International Symposium of Mathematical
Programming (ISMP) in 2012, and triennially at each ISMP thereafter.
The lectureship was established on the initiative of family and
friends of Professor Tseng, with financial contributions to the
endowment also from universities and companies in the Asia-Pacific
region. The purposes of the lectureship are to commemorate the
outstanding contributions of Professor Tseng in continuous
optimization and to promote the research and applications of
continuous optimization in the Asia-Pacific region.
The lectureship is awarded to an individual for outstanding
contributions in the area of continuous optimization, consisting
of original theoretical results, innovative applications, or
successful software development. The primary consideration in the
selection process is the quality and impact of the candidate's
work in continuous optimization. A secondary consideration is to
select candidates with strong interests to promote continuous
optimization research in the Asia-Pacific region. However, there
is no geographic restriction on the candidates.
The prize will be presented at the 2012 International Symposium on
Mathematical Programming (ISMP), to be held August 19-24, 2012, in
Berlin, Germany. The Tseng lecture will be arranged in a time slot
devoted to the presentation of named lectures at ISMP-2012.
Nomination Material:
The nomination must include a nomination letter of no more than
two pages and a short CV of the candidate (no more than two pages,
including selected publications). In addition, the nominator should
also arrange for 1-2 letters of recommendation. All nomination
materials should be sent (preferably in electronic form, as pdf
documents) to the chair of the selection committee,
