(source : O. S. Serea)

Dear colleague ,

The 7th International Seminar on Optimization and Variational Analysis (OVA7) will be held in Alicante University, the days 1, 2 and 3 of June of 2016.
This will be the seventh edition of a series of seminars organized, since 2007, by the "Optimization and Stability" research groups of Alicante and Miguel Hernández (Elche) Universities. Its principal aim is to establish contacts and to improve the background of the involved groups in the tools and techniques of optimization and variational analysis, as well as related topics like vector optimization, generalized differentiation, and functional analysis, among others. See  http://ova7th.wix.com/ova7 for more information.
OVA 7 will have some special significance because it will be dedicated to 70th anniversary of our colleague and friend Prof. Michel Théra.
With this message we would like to encourage you to attend the OVA7 seminar.

We look forward to seeing you in Alicante.

Best regards.

Le Colloque Franco-Roumain de Mathématiques Appliquées est organisé tous les deux ans, alternativement en France et Roumanie. L'histoire du colloque commence en 1992 avec une première édition tenue à Iaşi et organisée en collaboration avec INRIA. Le projet d'organiser avec périodicité une telle rencontre naît suite à la proposition faite par Haim Brezis en juin 1993, lors de son discours de réception à l'Académie Roumaine. Les éditions précédentes ont été organisées dans les centres universitaires suivants : Iaşi 1992, ENS Paris 1994, Cluj 1996, Metz 1998, Constanţa 2000, Perpignan 2002, Craiova 2004, Chambéry, 2006, Braşov 2008, Poitiers 2010 et Bucarest 2012, Lyon 2014.

17- Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimisation, Birmingham, UK, 7-9 September 2016
(source : D. Aussel)

University of Birmingham
http://tinyurl.com/IMANLAO2016

The IMA and the University of Birmingham are pleased to announce the
Fifth IMA Conference on Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimization. The
meeting is co-sponsored by SIAM, whose members will receive the IMA
members' registration rate.

The success of modern codes for large-scale optimization is heavily
dependent on the use of effective tools of numerical linear algebra. On the other hand, many problems in numerical linear algebra lead to linear, nonlinear or semidefinite optimization problems. The purpose of the conference is to bring together researchers from both communities and to find and communicate points and topics of common interest.

Conference topics: Direct and iterative methods for large sparse linear systems. Eigenvalue computation and optimization. Large-scale nonlinear and semidefinite programming. Effect of round-off errors, stopping criteria, embedded iterative procedures. Optimization issues for matrix polynomials. Fast matrix computations. Compressed/sparse sensing. PDE-constrained optimization.  Distributed computing and optimization. Applications and real time optimization.

Invited speakers: Tim Davis Anders Forsgren Andreas Frommer Jacek Gondzio Laura Grigori Jennifer Scott Lieven Vandenberghe

Mini-symposium proposals and contributed talks are invited on all aspects of numerical linear algebra and optimization. Mini-symposium
proposals should be submitted toconferences@ima.org.uk  by 31 March 2016. A mini-symposium is limited to at most two sessions on a single
topic (maximum eight speakers). Organisers will be advised of acceptance by 11 April 2016. Contributed talks and mini-symposia talks
will be accepted on the basis of a one page extended abstract which
should be submitted by 30 April 2016 by e-mail to conferences@ima.org.uk. Authors will be advised of acceptance by 31
May 2016. A book of abstracts will be made available to delegates at
the conference.

18- EUCCO2016, the 4th European Conference on Computational Optimization, Leuven, Belgium, September 12-14, 2016.
(source : D. Aussel)

The conference is organised by the University of Leuven, Center of Excellence on in Engineering (OPTEC), and by the TEMPO Marie Curie Initial Training Network: Training in Embedded Predictive Control and
Optimization.

The conference aims to bring together researchers who are active in the areas of computational optimization, algorithms and applications. EUCCO2016 will have special emphasis on Embedded Optimization and Optimization in Engineering, but it will also continue the traditional
EUCCO focus on large scale optimization, optimization with partial differential equations, and numerical optimization algorithms and software.

Invited plenary speakers are: Stephen Boyd (Stanford, USA), Yurii
Nesterov (Louvain, Belgium), Sina Ober-Bloebaum (Oxford, UK), Colin Jones (Lausanne, Switzerland), Niels Aage (Lyngby, Denmark), Marc
Teboulle (Tel-Aviv, Israel), and Boris Vexler (Munich, Germany).
