About the Workshop

This year the Department of Operations Research of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences (IMI-BAS), extends its usual annual report meeting to a Workshop on Optimization and Applications of several days. The main idea of this change is to bring together not only the specialists in the filed from the Department of Operations Research of IMI-BAS, but also colleagues working in this area form other scientific institutions and universities in Bulgaria as well as from abroad. The lectures during the meeting will not only present the current state-of-the-art in the field of Optimization and related domains, but will also outline future important lines of research. There will be several invited talks of 45 minutes reflecting the main directions of investigations and 30 minutes communications in the topics of:
  • continuous and discrete optimization
  • optimal control
  • topological and analytical methods in operations research
  • variational analysis
  • numerical methods in optimization

The participation is free of charge but the participants have to register via Internet in our rubric Registration. Those willing to present a talk must give a title before December 1st, 2008.
