First Announcement
The Fifth International Conference on Advances In Global Optimization: Methods and Applications will take place during June 13-17, 2007 in Myconos, Greece. The four previous conferences on ``Recent Advances in Global Optimization", ``State-of-the-Art in Global Optimization", ``Optimization in Computational Chemistry and Molecular Biology: Local and Global Approaches'', and ``Frontiers In Global Optimization'' took place at Princeton University in 1991, 1995, 1999, and in Santorini, Greece in 2003, respectively.
Conference Goals
Bring together the most active researchers in theory, algorithms and applications of global optimization. Exchange ideas across discipline boundaries of applied mathematics, computer science, engineering, computational biology and chemistry, molecular biology, medicine, and bioinformatics.
Main Conference Themes
Conference topics include advances in:
- Deterministic methods for global optimization
- Stochastic methods for global optimization
- Distributed computing methods in global optimization
- Applications of global optimization in all branches of applied science and engineering, computer science, computational biology and chemistry, structural biology, medicine, and bioinformatics
