Optimization plays a crucial role in designing and conducting
industrial processes. The potential gains range from saving valuable
resources over achieving ambitious production goals to increasing
profit margins. The mathematical models of the processes are typically
nonlinear and dynamic. Thus, complex dynamic optimization or optimal
control problems need to be formulated and solved. This field poses
numerous challenges for scientific computing and interdisciplinary
collaboration.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together scientists and decision
makers from industry and academia to initiate new projects and to
foster new structured collaborations in industrial optimization.

The workshop comprises
- a two-day compact course on simulation and optimization methods
- case studies on optimization problems in industrial practice and
  on successful collaborations of industrial and academic research
- challenge workshop for the identification of current and future
  research and development requirements

Target Group: Scientists and Decision Makers from Industry, University
and Research Institutions, Doctoral Students

Supported by IWR, HGS MathComp, MATCH and KoMSO

Organizers: D. Beigel, H. G. Bock, D. Clever, C. Kirches, S. Koerkel,
K. Mombaur, A. Potschka, J. P. Schloeder, M. J. Winckler
