[DMANET] COST Workshop on MINLP 2013 (CWMINLP13)

COST Workshop on MINLP 2013 (CWMINLP13)
---------------------------------------

Sept. 30 to Oct. 2, 2013
Institut Henri Poincare, Paris, France

Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming (MINLP) is concerned with finding
optimal solutions of optimization problems involving continuous and
integer variables, as well as nonlinear terms in the objective
function and constraints.

The EU COST Action TD1207 "Mathematical Optimization in the Decision
Support Systems for Efficient and Robust Energy Networks" sponsors the
event, so the broad topic of energy networks is one that we plan
to emphasize at the workshop.

Call for posters: if you want to present a poster, please send:
author names, title and a short abstract (max 1 page) to
cwminlp@gmail.com.

To register, just send your name and affiliation to cwminlp@gmail.com
There is no registration fee.

The CWMINLP13 will be followed by a related workshop (Optimization and
energy) organized by the "Programme Gaspard Monge pour l'Optimization"
(PGMO) on 3-4 Oct. 2013 at the Ecole Nationale Superieure de
Techniques Avancees (ENSTA), on the campus of Ecole Polytechnique
(http://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/pgmo/conferences/2013).
Participants to CWMINLP13 are encouraged to attend.
