Conference Scope and Themes
IFIP TC 7 promotes development of methods and applications in all fields of system modeling and optimization. Each biennial conference gathers the TC 7 Working Groups and a wide community of researchers, thus providing a platform for exchanging ideas and results pertaining both to theoretical aspects and to computational experience gained on specific applications. The main areas addressed by the conference include:
- optimization theory
- algorithms of nonlinear optimization
- discrete optimization
- stochastic optimization
- distributed parameter systems: modeling and optimization
- optimal control of ODEs
- stochastic control and financial mathematics
- structural design
- stability and sensitivity analysis in optimal control
- complex systems
Participants are encouraged to contribute talks on computational aspects of modeling and optimization problems arising in all domains of interest of the IFIP TC 7 Working Groups, such as Aerospace, Biomedicine, Economics, Meteorology, and Public Services. Some specific examples are: on-line and off-line computational techniques in modeling and control of dynamic systems, including Nonlinear Model Predictive Control and hybrid control systems, optimization of decentralized systems and systems with multicriteria, optimization of resource allocation in urban systems, optimization of pollution-control systems, man-machine systems, and power systems operation.
