Workshop on Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Optimization Methods for Energy Systems Engineering
Description
-----------
The OPTIMIZATION-BASED DESIGN OF ENERGY SYSTEMS generally leads to mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP) problems. In recent years, a surge of interest in (non-convex) MINLP problems in the mathematical optimization community produced remarkable algorithmic progress and triggered new developments, in particular new implementations.
To benefit most from these advances, ENGINEERS AND MATHEMATICIANS should tie up, each contributing their own expertise. Aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers from both fields to learn about the latest work and to foster collaborations.
The workshop consists of INVITED TALKS on recent work, complemented by THREE KEYNOTES delivered by the following distinguished speakers.
Invited Speakers
----------------
* Prof. Dr. Zdravko Kravanja, University of Maribor, Slovenia: "Robust MINLP for solving complex synthesis problems"
* Prof. Dr. Jeffrey T. Linderoth, University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA: "Theory of MINLPs"
* Dr. Stefan Vigerske, GAMS Software GmbH, Zuse Institute Berlin: "MINLP Solver Technology"
Organization
