(2nd Call for Talks and Participation)

SIGOPT2023 International Conference on Optimization

www.sigopt2023.b-tu.de

March 14-16, 2023

Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg

------------------------------------------------------------


The Special Interest Group in Optimization (SIGOPT) was created in 1993 with the purpose of encouraging cooperation and communication between its members to enrich the scientific network of mathematical optimization. In this regard, a series of conferences has been established in order to conglomerate all the different aspects of mathematical optimization within one event of familiar atmosphere, and it is our pleasure to announce the 5th SIGOPT conference to be held during

March 14 - 16, 2023, in Cottbus, Germany.

The conference is scheduled to take place at the Zentralcampus of the Brandenburg University of Technology Cottbus-Senftenberg (BTU). Further up-to-date information can be found at the conference website www.sigopt2023.b-tu.de

Aims and Scopes

The SIGOPT conference covers theory and practice in all branches of mathematical optimization, e.g., Linear Optimization, Discrete and Combinatorial Optimization, Mixed-Integer Optimization, Nonlinear Optimization, Nonsmooth Optimization and Variational Analysis, Multiobjective and Set-Valued Optimization, Optimal Control and Infinite-Dimensional Optimization, Machine Learning, or Application of Optimization in Real-World Problems. The SIGOPT promotes the collaboration of all the different branches of mathematical optimization, so talks combining theory or methods from different topics are especially welcome. Young researchers are particularly encouraged to submit abstract proposals.

Plenary Speakers

We are pleased to announce the following invited speakers:

Gabriele Eichfelder (TU Ilmenau)
Ulf Lorenz (University of Siegen)
Nicole Megow (University of Bremen)
Ira Neitzel (University of Bonn)
Anita Schöbel (TU Kaiserslautern)
Ola Svensson (EPFL Lausanne)

Social Activities

A guided walking tour on Wednesday will lead us through the city of Cottbus, famous for its clothiers and miners in the past and nowadays one of Germany's strongholds of structural change. Afterwards, we will join for a conference dinner at the Lindner hotel.

Submission of Abstracts and Invited Sessions

Abstracts have to be submitted in LaTeX and should not exceed 1500 characters while being free of references. We offer the possibility to organize invited sessions. Therefore, a suitable session title, a chairperson, and three to four abstracts have to be provided.

Submission of abstracts and session proposals are possible until January 31, 2023, via email to sigopt2023@b-tu.de
