We invite researchers and practitioners working in different areas related to Optimization and Optimal Control to submit abstracts for possible conference presentations.  Those who submit abstracts will be notified regarding whether a presentation based on the abstract can be scheduled for the conference.  Accepted abstracts will be printed in the conference program and speakers will have approximately thirty minutes to present their material.  The conference facilities will have projectors for presenting material from a laptop computer, as well as overhead projectors. 

To submit an abstract, please email the title and abstract to Altannar Chinchuluun by May 1, 2007.

We plan to put together, as guest editors, refereed volumes of the journal "Optimization" (and possibly, a book of tutorials/lectures) based on a selection of papers presented at the conference.
