Natal, Brazil, 26-29th June, 2012.
2nd Call of Papers
Global Optimization (GO) is a discipline aimed at finding global
optima for hard nonconvex optimization problems. The workshop will
bring together researchers dealing with this topic. We shall have at
most two 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.
GOW12 will take place in Natal, northeast of Brazil. The "City of the
Sun", as it is well-known, has a typical tropical climate, around
29°C, with the sun shining almost all the year. Bordered by the
Atlantic Ocean and surrounded by dunes, Natal has the perfect
combination of beautiful beaches, warm waters, lush nature and a
welcoming people, receiving more than two million Brazilian and
foreign tourists every year.
