[NotiAMCA] IFIP 2009 : 24th IFIP TC7 Conference on System Modelling and Optimization

[Victorio Sonzogni]

The 24th IFIP TC7 conference will take place in Buenos Aires, Argentina in
July 27-31, 2009

IFIP, the International Federation for Information Processing:

   *    is the leading multinational, apolitical organization in Information & 
         Communications Technologies and Sciences.
   *    is recognized by United nations and other world bodies.
   *    represents IT Societies from 56 countries or regions, covering all 5
         continents with a total membership of over half a million.
   *    links more than 3500 scientists from Academia and Industry, 
         organized in more than 101 Working Groups reporting to 13 
         Technical Committees.
   *    sponsors 100 conferences yearly providing unparalleled coverage
         from theoretical informatics to the relation between informatic and
         society including hardware and software technologies, and 
         networked information systems.

 
Argentina is a member of IFIP since the 1960 decade due to the
 initiative of Dr.Manuel Sadosky.
 
IFIP TC 7 promotes development of computational methods and applications in 
many  fields as Engineering, Transportation, Energy, Economics, etc. Each 
biennial conference gathers the TC 7 Working Groups and a wide community of 
researchers, thus providing a platform for exchanging ideas and results 
pertaining both to theoretical aspects and to computational experience gained 
on specific applications.
 
Ten plenary speakers from different countries were selected and are being 
invited. This will be a unique opportunity for getting in contact with 
outstanding scientists and practitioners, and therefore a large attendance 
form Argentina and neighboring countries is expected.
 
The congress will be opened by the Minister of Science, Technology and 
Innovative Production, Dr. Lino Barañao, and will be closed by the President, 
Dr.Cristina Fernández de Kirchner.

 	
			
* Conference Scope and Themes  

 

IFIP TC 7 promotes development of methods and applications in all fields of 
system modeling and optimization. Each biennial conference gathers the TC 7 
Working Groups and a wide community of researchers, thus providing a platform 
for exchanging ideas and results pertaining both to theoretical aspects and 
to computational experience gained on specific applications. The main areas 
addressed by the conference include:

    * optimization theory
    * algorithms of nonlinear optimization
    * discrete optimization
    * stochastic optimization
    * distributed parameter systems: modeling and optimization
    * optimal control of ODEs
    * stochastic control and financial mathematics
    * structural design
    * stability and sensitivity analysis in optimal control
    * complex systems 

Participants are encouraged to contribute talks on computational aspects of 
modeling and optimization problems arising in all domains of interest of the 
IFIP TC 7 Working Groups, such as Aerospace, Biomedicine, Economics, 
Meteorology, and Public Services. Some specific examples are: on-line and 
off-line computational techniques in modeling and control of dynamic systems, 
including Nonlinear Model Predictive Control and hybrid control systems, 
optimization of decentralized systems and systems with multicriteria, 
optimization of resource allocation in urban systems, optimization of 
pollution-control systems, man-machine systems, and power systems operation.
