ADVANCED METHODS AND PERSPECTIVES IN NONLINEAR OPTIMIZATION AND CONTROL
METHODES AVANCEES ET PERSPECTIVES POUR L'OPTIMISATION NUMERIQUE ET LE CONTROLEFebruary 3-5, 2010 Toulouse, France
An international workshop on optimization and control had been organized in the framework of a research programme supported by the RTRA STAE foundation. This workshop took place in Toulouse, France on February 3-5th 2010. Internationaly recognized experts presented contributions related to: core optimization, multilevel optimization (including model reduction), derivative free optimization, global optimization, shape optimization, data assimilation and real-time control. There had also been poster sessions related to the topics of the workshop.
