January, 2005
Dear members of EUROPT,
friendly regards! A special welcome to those of
you
who joined EUROPT during the previous weeks and
became new members. It
is fine that you are with us
and we are grateful; you are important for our
group,
scientifically and personally.
There is some information which
we want to give by
this e-mail.
(1) On http://www.cs.elte.hu/opres/Pecs05EUROmini/
we can find
first information about our EURO Mini
Conference "Optimization in the
Industry" in Pecs,
Hungary, June 29 - July 1, 2005. You are
sincerely
invited to come to Pecs, and possibly would also
like to spread the enclosed announcement a bit!
Thanks to
our Hungarian friends for their efforts!
(2) Our two mini-symposia,
submitted by our friends
Prof. Marco Lopez and Prof. Jan Rückmann for
8th
SIAM Conference on Optimization, have become
accepted!
Their streams "Semi-Infinite Programming
I / II" are on Linear and
Nonlinear SIP, respectively.
Congratulations to Marco and Jan, and to
Prof. Sven A.
Gustafson as the initiator! But also to Prof. Tamas
Terlay
whose stream on the Central Path in IPM is also associated
with EUROPT, and to other of our members and friends for
their conference organization, or MS acceptance and
contributions! For closer details, please visit of
http://www.siam.org/meetings/op05/.
With the SIAM
conference in Sweden, also our Nordic time will
be opened, with a
strong continuation on Iceland in 2006
(cf. also (5))!
(3) Our
friend and EUROPT member Dr. Jiming Peng informs
about his and his
colleagues' "Workshop on Mathematical
Programming in Data Mining
and Machine Learning",
June 1-4, 2005, at McMaster University,
Hamilton, ON,
Canada. Please find the announcement of this valuable
event enclosed.
(4) Our friend Dr. Dorien DeTombe,
coordinator of EURO
Working Group on Complex Societal Problems, and
EUROPT member, invites and devotes her group's
special
efforts in 2005 to help and studies at the occasion
of the recent
tsunami (for contact: DeTombe@lri.jur.uva.nl).
(5) Furthermore, the preparations
on EURO 2006 are going
on very well, e.g., in our various fields of
continuous
optimization
by EUROPT and our friends from POP! Soon
the streams
and their organizers will be published on EURO 2006
homepage http://www.euro2006.org/.
Our 5 th EUROPT
workshop preceding EURO 2006 is on
a good way of preparation
likewise!
For more detailled information, also about other precious
events
and engagements up to 2007, further e-mails will follow.
With
friendly regards and best wishes,
yours sincerely,
Florian
Jarre and Gerhard-Wilhelm Weber
