=======================================
Dear Colleagues,
the Organizers of the 10th EUROPT Workshop on Advances in Continuous
Optimization (EUROPT-2012) have a pleasure inviting you to take part
in this workshop to be held in Siauliai, Lithuania on 5-7 July, 2012,
http://www.mii.lt/EUROPT-2012. We welcome abstracts related to any
aspects of continuous optimization, in particular, related to the
following topics:

contributed papers. We encourage those interested in e.g. the
following topics to participate:
convex optimization and generalized convexity;
local nonlinear optimization;
global nonlinear optimization;
optimal control -- theory and applications;
multiobjective optimization;
conic optimization and semidefinite programming;
semi-infinite optimization;
robust optimization;
stochastic optimization;
large-scale methods in global search;
optimization in data mining;
data visualization for optimal decisions;
applications of continuous optimization to combinatorial problems;
optimization in industry, business and finance;
supply chain management;
analysis and engineering of algorithms;
software development.
Abstracts must be written in English and contain no more than 600
characters (no formulas or mathematical notations are allowed). Each
attendee is allowed to present ONE paper at the conference. To submit
an abstract, use the abstract submission system of EURO-Online at
