1999 Optimization in Industry Conference, June 6-11, 1999, Banff, Canada

这笔赠款为题为工业优化的会议提供了部分资金。会议将于1999年6月6日至11日在加拿大阿尔伯塔省的班夫举行。它的目标是将来自美国和外国的工业界、大学和政府的大约70名研究人员聚集在一起。与会者将集中他们的知识和专业知识，以进一步在工业中使用优化，特别是与分布式设计和制造以及设计理论和高速计算的相关分支相关的优化。会议的目标包括促进深入讨论，包括审查在该领域所做的基本工作，评估研究和实践的现状，从而确定将导致在工业中更多地使用优化的有前景的新的和创新的活动。这次会议应该帮助优化研究和实践团体确定需要开发的设计理论元素，以支持以高速计算为核心的分布式设计，并开发对工业有价值的优化技术。工业成功地使用这种技术将以更低的成本生产出更好的产品。

This grant provides partial funding for a conference titled Optimization in Industry. The conference will be held from June 6-11, 1999, at Banff in Alberta, Canada. Its goal is to bring together about 70 researchers from industry, university and Government both in the US and foreign nations. The attendees will pool their knowledge and expertise towards furthering the use of optimization in industry, specifically as they relate to distributed design and manufacturing and the associated ramifications upon design theory and high-speed computing. The objectives of the conference include facilitating in-depth discussions involving a review of fundamental work done in the field, assessing the present state of research and practice and thence identifying promising new and innovative activities that will lead to an increased use of optimization in industry. This conference should help the optimization research and practice communities identify elements of design theory that need to be developed to support distributed design with high-speed computing at its core and the development of optimization techniques of value to industry. The successful use of such techniques by industry will result in better products at lower costs.
