Informal Working Group on Validated Methods for Optimization

May 26 - June 1, 2002

Toronto, ON, Canada

Mathematics

Host: Fields Institute
Homepage: http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/programs/scientific/01-02/numerical/optimization/

Organizers: George Corliss (Marquette University), Tibor Csendes (University of Szeged), Ken Jackson (University of Toronto), and R. Baker Kearfott (University of Louisiana at Lafayette)

Description:
We are organizing an informal working group on "Validated Optimization" as part of the Fields Institute Thematic Year on Computational Challenges in Science and Engineering. This meeting will allow researchers in the area to generate and exchange ideas to impact current research in the area, and to identify research priorities. We also hope to foster interaction and cross-fertilization between validated optimization experts and experts in "standard" optimization techniques. This will be primarily an informal, colleague-to-colleague meeting following the SIAM Optimization and Validated Computing 2002 programs, although we will be happy to scheule formal talks, as appropriate. The Fields Institute can provide office space and meeting rooms for these purposes.

The meeting will be held in Toronto under the auspices of the Fields Institute Thematic Year on Computational Challenges in Science and Engineering.

As an informal meeting, there will be no registration fee. Note also that the Fields Institute will not be able to offer financial assistance to participants.
