International Conference on Complementarity, Duality, and Global Optimization; August 15-17, 2005; Virginia Tech - Blacksburg, VA

互补性、双重性和全局优化国际会议（CDGO-05）将于2005年8月15日至17日在布莱克斯堡的弗吉尼亚理工大学举行。本次会议的主要目标是汇集数学家、工程师和科学家，他们来自不同的科学学科，致力于非线性系统、工程力学和计算方法的互补性、对偶性和全局优化，重点是在科学和工程中的应用。该奖项的目的是向美国国家科学基金会申请资助，以部分支付来自美国大学和行业的四名特邀全体演讲者，三名辅导课演讲者，几名特邀专题研讨会演讲者/组织者，几名研究生/博士后和年轻研究人员的旅费。智力优势：互补性和对偶性是在工程和科学的全局优化、大规模计算和多学科研究中发挥重要作用的基本概念。这个引人入胜的会议将为这个高度肥沃和不断扩大的领域提供一个令人兴奋的思想交流论坛。更广泛的影响：会议论文集将由Kluwer出版的《非凸优化》和《力学与数学进展》系列精装本出版。预计这次会议将开辟优化和工程科学的新趋势。此外，它将激励年轻的教师和学生冒险进入这个丰富的研究领域。

The International Conference on Complementarity, Duality, and Global Optimization (CDGO-05) will be held at Virginia Tech, Blacksburg, August 15-17, 2005. A primary goal of this conference is to bring together mathematicians, engineers, and scientists from a variety of scientific disciplines who are working on complementarity, duality, and global optimization in nonlinear systems, engineering mechanics, and computational methods, with an emphasis on applications in science and engineering. The purpose of this award is to apply for a grant from NSF to partially cover the travel expenses for four invited plenary speakers, three tutorial speakers, several invited special symposium speakers/organizers, and several graduate students/post-doctors, and young researchers from both universities and industries within the United States. Intellectual merit: Complementarity and Duality are fundamental concepts that play an important role in global optimization, large-scale computation, and multi-disciplinary research in engineering and science.This fascinating conference will provide an exciting forum for the exchange of ideas in this highly fertile and ever-expanding area. Broader impacts: The conference proceedings will be published in two hardbound volumes by Kluwer book series of Nonconvex Optimization and Advances in Mechanics and Mathematics. It is expected that this conference will open new trends in optimization and engineering science. Furthermore, it will stimulate young faculty and students to venture into this rich domain of research.
