“Mathematical and Computational Optimisation” session in the 2017 annual meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society

First Call for papers in the session “Mathematical and Computational Optimisation”

The 2017 Annual Meeting of the Australian Mathematical Society will take place at Macquarie University, Sydney, 12- 15 December 2017. A website for the conference is available at:
http://www.austms.org.au/tiki-calendar.php?calitemId=727

It is our great pleasure to invite you to participate in the special session “Mathematical and Computational Optimisation” and hope that you will agree to present a 25-minutes’ talk.

This special session will focus on new mathematical and computational developments and their applications in continuous and discrete optimisation, as well as in optimal control and calculus of variations.

Our special session’s field aligns with that of the recently created special interest group, Mathematics of Computation and Optimisation (MoCaO) https://mocao.mathsig.org/
Hence, if you are a member of MoCaO, please consider presenting at our special session!

Please do encourage participation of postdocs and doctoral students at our special session. Student members of AustMS who are giving a conference talk at the meeting may be eligible for a travel costs subsidy.

Please let us know your interest by September 1st, 2017.

Best regards, and looking forward to meeting you at our special session.

The Joint Optimization Conferences 2017 (JOC 2017)

4 December – 10 December 2017, Perth, Australia

The Joint Optimization Conferences (JOC 2017) will be held in the beautiful capital city of Perth, West Australia from 4th December to 10th December 2017.

The confederation consists of the following three sequent conferences:

  1. The Eighth Australia-China Workshop on Optimization: Theory, Methods and Applications (ACWO 2017), being jointly organised by Chongqing Normal University, China, and Curtin University, Australia will be held on 4th December 2017.
  2. The Second Pacific Optimization Conference (POC 2017) will be held at the same venue from 5th December 2017 to 7th December 2017.
  3. Following POC 2017, the South Pacific Optimization Meeting in Western Australia 2017 (SPOM in WA 2017)will take place immediately after POC 2017, which will be held during 8-10 December 2017.

The POC 2017 and SPOM 2017 are jointly organised by Curtin University. Australia, Chongqing Normal University, China, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China.

Registrations now open for AMSI Optimise—a new event in 2017

The Australian Mathematical Sciences Institute is holding the inaugural AMSI Optimise workshop in Melbourne on the week of the 26th to the 30th of June at the Monash University conference centre, level 7, 30 Collins Street Melbourne.

This event is intended to become an annual event in the AMSI flagship event calendar and has attracted government funding. This event consists of a 3-day industrial outreach program, which will bring industrial practitioners, academics and students together to explore successful collaborations and to discuss future challenges. The 3-day program will be followed by a 2-day research workshop on optimisation.

The program, registration and information about travel grants is now available on the website: http://optimise.amsi.org.au/

The workshop will be attended by the following international speakers who will speak and attend both the 3-day outreach program and the 2-day research workshop:

Professor Stephen Wright, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA
Professor Roberto Cominetti, Universidad Adolfo Ibáñez, Chile
Professor Alejandro Jofré, Universidad de Chile, Chile

Application for workshop travel grants close on the 21st of May, abstract submission closes on the 27th of May and registration closes on the 16th of June.

Please encourage colleagues to participate and support this important event.
