Aim & Scope:

Like many applied areas in mathematics, optimization plays an important role in almost every aspect of industry and data sciences, but has its root in abstract theory of mathematics. We have a group of researchers in Taiwan working on optimization, ranging from non-convex quadratic programming; polynomial optimization; supply chain and inventory control; l_0 norm optimization for reconstructing sparse signal solutions in compressive sensing, and many others. We feel that it would be exciting if we can get more people who are interested in our recent work and developments, and who want to share different perspectives and a break-through technique or two they know while applying optimization to different areas, we can all benefit from each other for a great mixture like that. When we broadcast the idea internationally for holding a workshop in Taiwan, the reactions were more positive than we had expected so that the workshop becomes a two-days format rather than just one-day in our original plan. We are going to have participants/speakers from Vietnam, South Korea and Japan who want to know what we are doing here for optimization in Taiwan. We expect the two-days winter workshop on optimization will be able to foster discussions within the community of Optimization, especially we are aimed to promote more research activities in Taiwan.
