The SIGOPT conference series addresses the full range of theory and 
practice in all branches of mathematical optimization, e.g.,

- Linear and Nonlinear Programming

Young researchers from all areas of optimization are especially 
encouraged to participate and to present their work.
The conference will provide a good opportunity for exchanging ideas, 
especially across disciplines, and for establishing contacts with 
colleagues in the friendly atmosphere of Kloster Irsee.

Plenary Speakers:
