Conference on Optimization in Industry; Palm Coast, FL; March 23-27, 1997

* 酒店9614041 Belegundu Mistree 这笔赠款提供部分支持，以举办一个关于在工业中使用优化的研讨会，特别是在与工程设计有关的应用中。 该研讨会将汇集工程师，数学家，运筹学专家和研究人员，讨论当前优化应用的限制，并提供一个研究议程，可以帮助扩大当前的应用。 讨论还将研究在工业中扩大使用优化的其他障碍，并提出克服这些障碍的解决方案。 将邀请来自航空航天、汽车、民用、化学和机械工程学科的代表参加。 制造产品的竞争力往往取决于需要优化的设计细节。 优化可以使产品在使用中表现更好，以更低的成本制造，并具有更高的可靠性和更低的环境影响。 然而，到目前为止，研究新优化技术的学术界与可能使用它们的行业之间存在脱节。 其结果是，优化技术在工业中的应用大大落后于新方法的发展。 本次研讨会旨在弥合这一差距，并找到方法，使目前在该领域的研究更适用于行业，并使行业进入研究领域的设置过程，使未来的进步更符合行业的需要。 ***

*** 9614041 Belegundu Mistree This grant provides partial support to conduct a workshop on the use of optimization in industry, particularly in applications relating to engineering design. The workshop will bring together engineers, mathematicians, operations research specialists, and researchers from academe to discuss current limitations on the applications of optimization and to provide a research agenda that could help to broaden current applications. The discussion will also examine other roadblocks to the expanded use of optimization in industry and propose solutions to overcoming these roadblocks. Representatives from the aerospace, automotive, civil, chemical, and mechanical disciplines of engineering will be invited. Competitiveness of manufactured products often depends on design subtleties that are subject to optimization. Optimization can enable products to perform better in use, be manufactured at lower cost, and have improved reliability and lower environmental impact. To date, however, there has been a disconnect between the academic communities researching new optimization techniques and the industries that potentially would use them. The result has been that the applications of optimization techniques in industry has substantially lagged the development of new methods. This workshop seeks to bridge this gap and find ways to make current research in the field more applicable to industry, and to bring industry into the research agenda-setting process so that future advances are more relevant to the need of industry. ***
