The following peer reviewed book "Optimization and Applications in Control and Data Science" devoted to the 80th birthday of professor Boris T. Polyak (see https://sites.google.com/site/polconf/) will be published by Springer Optimization and Its Applications in June 2016 (see http://www.springer.com/series/7393).
Potential authors are invited to submit  manuscripts with at most 50 pages long but not later than 1st November 2015.

All submissions should be sent to Dr. Boris Goldengorin, e-mail:b.goldengorin@rug.nl

Authors of every published chapter will be granted by one hard copy book and Springer's author(s) honorarium.

Suggested topics are not limited by
    - optimization models and algorithms (structured optimization, reduced complexity methods for large-scale problems, abstract convexity, non-linear penalty functions, etc);
    - applications in Control Theory (control synthesis, stability analysis, etc.)
    - complexity of statistical problems and computational methods for statistical estimation and machine learning (optimization methods for inverse problems, dimension reduction, sub-linear methods in data analysis, discovery of causality, etc.).
