The Joint Optimization Conferences 2017 (JOC 2017)

4 December – 10 December 2017, Perth, Australia

The Joint Optimization Conferences (JOC 2017) will be held in the beautiful capital city of Perth, West Australia from 4th December to 10th December 2017.

The confederation consists of the following three sequent conferences:

  1. The Eighth Australia-China Workshop on Optimization: Theory, Methods and Applications (ACWO 2017), being jointly organised by Chongqing Normal University, China, and Curtin University, Australia will be held on 4th December 2017.
  2. The Second Pacific Optimization Conference (POC 2017) will be held at the same venue from 5th December 2017 to 7th December 2017.
  3. Following POC 2017, the South Pacific Optimization Meeting in Western Australia 2017 (SPOM in WA 2017)will take place immediately after POC 2017, which will be held during 8-10 December 2017.

The POC 2017 and SPOM 2017 are jointly organised by Curtin University. Australia, Chongqing Normal University, China, and Huazhong University of Science and Technology, China.

Workshop on Metric Bounds and Transversality (WoMBaT 2016)

The meeting will be held in Melbourne (RMIT City Campus, room 8.9.66) on 24–25 November.

The topics of the workshop include error bounds, metric (sub) regularity, Aubin property and calmness, transversality of collections of sets, subdifferential characterisations and applications of these properties to estimating the convergence of fundamental optimisation algorithms. Our keynote speaker is Professor Marco López Cerdá from the University of Alicante, Spain, who is visiting Australia in November.

For more information and for the list of confirmed speakers please visit our web page http://www.wombat.rmitopt.org/ or contact the organisers directly.

Prof. Andrew Eberhard (RMIT University),
A/Prof. Alex Kruger (Federation University Australia),
Dr Vera Roshchina (RMIT University).

The 7th Workshop on High-Dimensional Approximation

The 7th Workshop on High-Dimensional Approximation will be held at UNSW in Sydney, Australia, on February 13–17, 2017. See the website

http://www.hda2017.unsw.edu.au

The High-Dimensional Approximation (HDA) Workshop is a series of biennial international meetings covering current research on all numerical aspects of high-dimensional problems. This seventh workshop will be held at UNSW in Sydney (HDA2017), with participants again welcomed from all around the world.

The scope of the seventh workshop ranges from high-dimensional approximation theory over computational methods to engineering and scientific applications. Topics include, but are not limited to,

  • Sparse grid methods
  • Quasi-Monte Carlo methods
  • Tensor decompositions
  • Polynomial chaos expansions
  • Sparse approximations
  • Reduced basis methods
  • Multi-level methods
  • Bayesian inversion
  • Uncertainty quantification

Participation is open to all interested in high-dimensional computational mathematics and science.

A key feature of this workshop is that there are no parallel sessions and generally all talks will be of equal length. Participants are welcome to present work in progress and there will be time set aside for informal discussions. The number of talks will be limited. It is not essential that everyone gives a talk. Collaborators are encouraged to coordinate and elect a representative to present joint work.

In this workshop we will honour and celebrate the 65th birthday of Professor Markus Hegland. Markus is a founding member of the HDA workshop series. He is also a well respected leader in computational mathematics and optimization in Australia. We hope to take this opportunity to engage the HDA global community with other computational mathematics groups in Australia.

To assist us with planning, please go to the website at your earliest convenience to register especially if you are interested in giving a talk. Travel, visa and accommodation information is already available. More information about registration fee payment and abstract submission will be available on the website later in the year.

We look forward to welcoming you in Sydney!
