Workshop on the Intersections of Computation and Optimisations – WICO: second announcement.
Workshop on the Intersections of Computation and Optimisations – WICO
MoCaO (Mathematics of Computation and Optimisation) is planning a new workshop on the 22nd to the 25th of November 2021, which is sponsored by the ANU, UNSW and AMSI.
This workshop intends to bring together researchers from the areas of computation, optimisation, computing sciences and engineering interested in the cross- fertilization of ideas around the interfaces of computational mathematics and optimisation:
Workshop Format
The workshop will be held online using Zoom and Spatial Chat (for formal and informal interactions). Depending on COVID restrictions, we may also have some hybrid participation via live gatherings at some regional locations (including the mathematics department at the ANU in Canberra). Further announcement will be made closer to the event.
Keynotes Speakers:
Some keynotes may present in person (streamed online) and others will engage totally online in a remote format. In addition to their keynote presentations, keynotes who will be invited to give an informal discussion session post presentation.
