[DMANET] The 15th Baikal International School-Seminar on OPTIMIZATION METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS

FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

The 15th Baikal International School-Seminar on
OPTIMIZATION METHODS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS
The conference is dedicated to memory of
professor Valerian P. Bulatov

The 15th Baikal International School-Seminar on OPTIMIZATION METHODS AND
THEIR APPLICATIONS will be held during June 23-29 2011, near Irkutsk, on
the lake Baikal shore, in village Listvyanka, Russia.

The conference is organized once in three years. In this year it is
organized by Institute for System Dynamics and Control Theory (ISDCT) of
Siberian Branch (SB) of Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS) (www.idstu.irk.ru)
jonly with Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of RAS, Institute of Energy Systems of
SB RAS, Institute of Control Science of RAS, Russian Association of
Mathematical Programming, Irkutsk State University, Irkutsk State
Agricultural Academy.

The conference is a forum of researchers working on all aspects of
optimization from the linear programming to the optimal control. As well as
in the previous years, it collects main specialists in this field from Russia
with international participation. We believe that the program will be also
interesting for practitioners who want to increase the efficiency of their
business with applications of optimization models.

The organizers are looking forward to see you in Irkutsk - the center of the
Eastern Siberia - with its beautiful nature and with admirable lake and
mounting views. We promise you an interesting scientific and social program.
