Special Meeting: Workshop on Future Direction in Numerical Algorithms and Optimization

关于数值计算和优化的未来方向的研讨会将于2007年4月初在加利福尼亚州斯坦福大学举行，很可能在盖茨计算机科学大楼举行。我们估计至少有80名参与者来自数值计算和优化社区，从事理论研究或在科学和工程中的重要应用。讲习班预计将吸引一大批处于职业生涯不同阶段的研究人员，从该领域的关键领导人到研究生。为此，将邀请一些在国内和国际上具有知名度和领导地位的发言者，包括女研究人员。拟议的讲习班战略上拟与第50届数值计算历史讲习班同处一地。

The workshop on the future directions in numerical computing and optimization will be held at the Stanford University, California in early April 2007, most likely in the Gates Computer Science Building. We estimate a turnout of at least 80 participants from the numerical computing and optimization communities, doing either theoretical research or important applications in science and engineering. The workshop is expected to bring in a large group of researchers in various stages of their career from the key leaders in the field to the graduate students. This will be accomplished by inviting a number of speakers with national and international visibility and leadership including women researchers. The proposed workshop is strategically proposed to be co-located with the 50th History of Numerical Computing workshop.
