The Computational Techniques and Applications Conference (CTAC) 2016 will be held at Monash University, Caulfield Campus from the 27-30 November 2016. Our aim is to conduct a high quality conference on computational mathematics; scientific, technical, and industrial applications; and high performance computing.

The plenary speakers for CTAC16 will be:
Bernd Brugmann, Theoretical Physics Institute, University of Jena
Regina Burachik, University of South Australia
Alys Clark, University of Auckland
Josef Dick, University of New South Wales
Bishnu Lamichhane, University of Newcastle
Scott MacLachlan, Memorial University of Newfoundland
Bijan Mohammadi, University of Montpelier
Murray Rudman, Monash University

CTAC is organised by the special interest group in computational techniques and applications of ANZIAM, the Australian and New Zealand Industrial and Applied Mathematics Division of the Australian Mathematical Society. The meetings provide an interactive forum for researchers interested in the development and use of computational methods applied to engineering, scientific and other problems. The CTAC meetings have been taking place biennially since 1981, the most recent being held in 2014 at the Mathematical Sciences Institute at the Australian National University.

Dear Friends and Colleagues,

We are pleased to announce the 14th EUROPT Workshop on Advances in Continuous Optimization organized by Institute of Control and Computation Engineering at Warsaw University of Technology, Poland., July 1­2, 2016 Warsaw. http://www.europt2016.ia.pw.edu.pl/

EUROPT2016 is the annual event of the EUROPT continuous optimization working group of EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Societies). This is the 14th such workshop and is held in collaboration with the 28th annual EURO conference to be held in Poznań on July 3­6 2016

Talks should be related to continuous optimization theory, algorithms, software or applications.

Plenary speakers confirmed:

Andreas Griewank, Humboldt University, Berlin, Gremany
Jiri Outrata, Institute of Information Theory and Automation, Czech Academy of Sciences, Prague, Czech Republic
Anatoly Zhigljavsky, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK

Call for Abstracts (max two pages):

Abstracts submission is opened since February 1, 2016. Please sign up at https://www.euro-online.org/conf/europt2016/ to create your EURO account and submit your abstract. All accepted abstracts will be included in the Book of Abstracts. Please be reminded that the that the Deadline for Abstracts Submission is March 15, 2016.

Selected papers presented at EUROPT2016 will be considered for peer­reviewed publication in a special issue of Mathematical Methods of Operations Research.

Registration will open in due course, with the fees having been set as EUR 200 (Standard) and EUR 150 (PhD students) before May 15 2016.

Afterwards the respective fees will be EUR 270 and EUR 200.

We hope you will want to take this opportunity to visit Warsaw and contribute to advances in continuous optimization.
