Global 2013 - Workshop on Global Optimisation

Global optimization problems arise in all disciplines of science, applied science and engineering, including molecular biology, computational chemistry, thermodynamics, process systems design and control, finance and transportation. Examples of important applications of global optimization are the structure prediction of molecules, protein folding & peptide docking, phase and chemical equilibrium, portfolio selection, air traffic control, chip layout and compaction problems, and the optimal design and control of non-ideal separations, to name a few.
This one-day workshop will provide a unique opportunity, for both academic and industrial communities, to discuss the latest developments in global optimization, meet experts in the field and explore new research directions. The workshop is supported by the Centre for Computational Science and Engineering (CMSE) at Imperial and jointly organised by the Department of Computing (DoC) and the Centre for Process Systems Engineering (CPSE) of Imperial College London.
