Dear Colleagues and Friends,
Welcome to the 10th International Conference on Optimization:
Techniques and Applications (10th ICOTA), which will be held
Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia, during 23-26 July, 2016.
Please find closer information about 10th 2016 under
http://iom.num.edu.mn/icota2016/.The first two ICOTA conferences were held in Singapore in 1987 and
1992, respectively. After which, ICOTA has become an important
conference series run by a steering committee. The third ICOTA
conference was held in Chengdu in 1995, and the fourth ICOTA was held
in Perth in 1998. The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and ninth ICOTA
were held, respectively, in Hong Kong in 2001, Ballarat in 2004, Kobe
in 2007, Shanghai in 2010, and Taipei in 2013. The ICOTA conference
series is an official conference series of POP (The Pacific
Optimization Research Activity Group). Like previous ICOTA
conferences, the goal of the 10th ICOTA is to provide an international
forum for scientist, researchers, software developers, and
practitioners to exchange ideas and approaches, to present research
findings and state-of-the-art solutions, to share experiences on
potentials and limits, and to open new avenues of research and
development, on all issues and topics related to optimization and its
applications.
Topics in the 10th ICOTA include, but not limited to, those listed in
the following:Optimization theory and numerical algorithms: linear
programming, nonlinear programming, integer programming, network
programming, semi-definite programming, stochastic programming,
dynamic programming, optimal control, global optimization, nonsmooth
optimization, semi-infinite programming, multi-objective optimization,
variational inequalities, complementarity problems, mathematical
programs with equilibrium constraint. Algorithm: design, analysis,
implementation of traditional mathematical programming methodology,
modern techniques such as meta-heuristic for combinatorial and
continuous optimization.
Application: engineering, nonlinear systems, stochastic system
control, data/text mining from large databases, intelligent
information and technology, systems science, knowledge management,
information and communication networks, transportation, scheduling,
logistics, finance, game theory, industrial engineering, management
science, operations research.
All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed by referees and accepted
papers will be published in conference proceedings in CD form. Authors
of papers with great quality will be encourage to prepare full
versions of their papers and submit them to appropriate special
journal issues for consideration for publications.We look forward to
your participation of the conference.
Please submit the abstracts of your papers or papers via the EasyChair
located within the conference home page. If you are organising a
special session, please submit the title of your session and the
estimated number of the participants of your session also via the
EasyChair. The participants of the special session should submit their
papers or the abstracts of their papers with a statement showing the
title of the special session.
I look forward to meeting you during the conference.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Changjun Yu
Conference Secretary - 10th ICOTA
