Second 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;

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  
http://www.euro-online.org/conf/europt2012/?page=welcome.
