Auroux) Le laboratoire de mathématiques de l'université de Nice Sophia Antipolis aura un nombre assez important de postes d'ATER, notamment pour enseigner des mathématiques appliquées à Polytech'Nice-Sophia (école d'ingénieurs). La campagne de recrutement d'ATER pour l'année universitaire 2011/2012 est ouverte depuis mardi 26 avril jusqu'au vendredi 27 mai. Toutes les informations sont disponibles sur le site de l'université de Nice, au lien suivant: http://actualite.unice.fr/spip.php?article1669 ------------------------------------------------------------- 2- Annonces de séminaires (sources: P.L. Combettes) Une rubrique pour signaler succinctement les séminaires ayant lieu ce mois-ci et organisés dans nos laboratoires. N'hésitez pas à l'alimenter, préférentiellement via un lien vers la page du séminaire et une liste de conférenciers, ** Séminaire Parisien d'Optimisation (IHP salle 314) http://www.ljll.math.upmc.fr/~plc/spo.html Lundi 20 juin 2011 15h : N. Vieille (HEC, Jouy en Josas) 16h : G. Peyré (Paris-Dauphine) ** ------------------------------------------------------------- 3- International Conference on NETwork Games, COntrol and OPtimization (source: R. Cominetti) October 12-14, 2011 Paris The topic of network control and optimization has been of increasing importance in many networking application domains, such as mobile and fixed access networks, computer networks, social networks and transportation networks. These all require tools (both conceptual and algorithmic) for a better and more efficient control operation, for optimization of their performance, and/or for a better understanding of the relationships between entities that may be cooperative or act selfishly, and in an uncertain and possibly adversarial environment. The goal of this international forum is to bring together researchers from different areas with theoretical expertise in game theory, control, and optimization, and with applications in the domains listed above. Submission deadline: July 1, 2011 See the website : http://netgcoop.imag.fr/ ------------------------------------------------------------- 4- International conference on Optimization Theory, Algorithms and Applications in Economics (source: D. Aussel et M. Théra) A tribute to Juan Enrique Martinez-Legaz on the occasion of his 60th birthday Universitat Autonoma de Barcelona, Bellaterra, Spain. October 24-28, 2011 The conference has the aim of a top-level scientific meeting to promote a broad exchange of information and new developments in the areas of Functional and Variational Analysis, Control, Optimization and Applications in Economics. The event will include two half-day mini workshops in Economics (Nuclei) and a mini-workshop in applications of Optimization in Engineering.

Théra) The Conference on Optimization and Practices in Industry (COPI'11) will be held in November 23-25, 2011, Paris, France. This conference is devoted to optimization techniques applied to economic problems that occur over a wide panel of industries (energy, banking, transportation and network management). The purpose is to bring together people from academia and industry to share different experiences and discuss future trends related to this area. Both theoretical and practical issues will be considered. More information can be found on the web site http://www.copiconf.org/ For those of you that have not submitted their abstract, we would like to remind you that there is only 1 month left until the Abstract submission deadline on 15th June. ------------------------------------------------------------- 6- Conic Optimization (source: M. Théra) Special issue for PACIFIC JOURNAL of OPTIMIZATION Over the last two decades, there has been a significant advance in the research of interior point methods and conic optimization. Today conic optimization has emerged as a major computational paradigm and has made significant impact on numerous problems previously considered intractable or difficult to approximate. This special issue aims to solicit papers that provide original research on conic optimization theory and algorithms, including available software. Also welcome are papers that deal with emerging, meaningful applications; or that give friendly overviews of certain theoretically advanced conic optimization techniques relevant to applications. Examples of topics that will be addressed in this special issue include, but are not limited to: - Theory and algorithms for large scale conic optimization - Computational study of conic optimization algorithms - Relaxation techniques based on conic optimization - Applications of conic optimization in science and engineering (e.g., image processing, compressed sensing, digital communications and networks) Submission Procedure: Prospective authors should e-mail the pdf file of their full manuscript with a cover message in plain text to one of the guest editors. Instructions for authors are available on the web: http://www.ybook.co.jp/online/forauthors.htm Schedule: Manuscript due: Sept 1, 2011 ------------------------------------------------------------- 7- Alvarez-Lopez-Ramirez win the 2010 Charles Broyden Prize (source: R. Cominetti, F. Bonnans, T. Champion) Le prix Charles Broyden pour le meilleur article publié dans la revue Optimization Methods and Software en 2010 a été attribué à nos chers collègues Felipe Alvarez, Julio López and C. Héctor Ramírez pour leur article Interior proximal algorithm with variable metric for second-order cone programming: applications to structural optimization and support vector machines, paru dans le volume 25, number 6, 2010, pp.859-88 voir l'annonce : http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/pdf/competitions/charles-broyden-prize-2010.pdf ------------------------------------------------------------- Thierry Champion
