Third Call for Abstracts of EUROPT-2012
=======================================
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:
Topics
=============================
The programme of our Workshop consists of tutorials, invited and 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;
• semiinfinite 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 http://www.euro-online.org/conf/europt2012/?page=welcome.
Location and Venue
==============================
The workshop will be held in the Siauliai city (http://www.maps.lt/map), located about 250 km from Vilnius. Siauliai is the capital of Northern Lithuania having old historical traditions. Livonian Order Chronicles describe the battle of Saule between ancient Lithuanians and crusaders that took place not far from Shiauliai and later on gave the name for the city.
The Workshop will be hosted by the Siauliai University. The registration will take place in the Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics (P.Visinskio st. 19, Siauliai). The Sessions will take place in the Library of Siauliai University (Vytauto st. 84,Siauliai).
Invited Speakers
==============================
Prof. Boris T. Polyak (Institute of Control Problems, Moscow, Russia)
Talk: L_1 problems in control
Prof. Adilson Xavier (University Rio de Janeiro, Brazil)
Talk: Hyperbolic Smoothing Method: A Novel Approach for Solving Clustering Problems
Prof. Joaquim Joao Judice (University of Coimbra, Coimbra, Portugal) - EUROPT Fellow 2012
Talk: Linear Programming with Linear Complementarity Constraints
Prof. Panos M. Pardalos (University of Florida, Gainesville, USA)
Talk: Global optimality conditions in non-convex optimization
Deadlines:
===============================
• Deadline for abstract submission: May 15, 2012.
• Notification of acceptance / rejection: May 20, 2012.
• Deadline for early registration: May 25, 2012.
