Dear colleagues,
We would like to kindly remind you of the Call for Participation for the W orld C ongress on G lobal O ptimization ( WCGO ), a biennial conference of the International Society of Global Optimization .
The 6 th WCGO will be organized in Metz , France on July 8-10 , 2019 , by Computer Science and Applications Department, LGIPM, University of Lorraine.
Homepage: [ https://wcgo2019.event.univ-lorraine.fr/ | https://wcgo2019.event.univ-lorraine.fr/ ]
The paper submission deadline is approaching !
You are cordially invited to submit a paper by January 31, 2019 .
Submission system is open at [ https://wcgo2019.event.univ-lorraine.fr/user/submissions | here ] .
CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
WCGO 2019 will bring together most leading specialists in both theoretical and computational aspects as well as applications of Nonconvex Programming and Global Optimization, highlight recent advances, trends, challenges and to discuss how to expand the role of these fields in several potential high-impact application areas.
The conference offers an excellent forum for scientists, engineers, mathematicians from a variety of related disciplines, to exchange ideas and present original research results in the theory and applications of global optimization. WCGO 2019 will be composed of several plenary lectures, invited sessions, and contributed sessions.
