FoCM 2017

Workshop on Continuous Optimization

Barcelona, July 17th-19th, 2017

This workshop is part of the triennial FoCM conference series, organized by the Society for Foundations of Computational Mathematics. The next edition will be held in Barcelona, July 10th-19th, 2017.

The workshop brings together leading experts in diverse aspects of optimization, ranging from foundational research on tractability of optimization algorithms to applications such as machine learning; from generic, state-of-the-art algorithm development to structure-exploiting methods for improved efficiency.
