Celebrating Pierre Hansen's 70th birthday
Global Optimization (GO) is a discipline aimed at finding global
optima for hard nonconvex optimization problems. The workshop aims at
bringing together researchers dealing with this topic. Depending on
the number of submissions, we shall have either a single stream or
two/three parallel streams. Accordingly, only a limited number of
contributions will be accepted. A special issue of the Journal Of
Global Optimization will contain (fully refereed) papers derived from
works presented at the workshop (or on close topics).
