8- Last CFP ICORES 2014 - Doctoral Consortium on Operations Research
and Enterprise Systems
(source : ICORES)

The Doctoral Consortium will take place in conjunction with the 4th
International Conference
on Operations Research and Enterprise Systems (ICORES), to be held
January 10 - 12 in Lisbon,
Portugal. The ICORES 2015 doctoral consortium will provide an
opportunity for graduate students
to explore their research interests in an interdisciplinary workshop,
under the guidance of a
panel of distinguished experts in the field.

The Doctoral Consortium on Operations Research and Enterprise Systems
is intended to bring
together Ph.D. students within the operations research field to
discuss their research in an
international forum. More precisely, the Doctoral Consortium will
provide students with an
opportunity to:

- Present their research work in a relaxed and supportive environment;
- Receive feedback and suggestions from peers and experienced faculty
members;
- Gain an overview of the breadth and depth of operations research and
enterprise systems;
- Obtain insight into directions for pattern recognition taken by
other doctoral candidates;
- Discuss concerns about research, supervision, the job market, and
other issues;
- Network with peers and future colleagues

Thus, the symposium will help shape ongoing and future research
projects aimed at operations
research and enterprise systems, will promote scholarship and
networking among new researchers
in this emerging interdisciplinary area, and will expose these
promising young researchers to
the larger global community.

Topics are the same as in the main conference
(www.icores.org/CallForPapers.aspx)

contact me.

11- British-French-German Conference on Optimization held at Imperial
College London
(source : D. Aussel, J.B. Hiriart-Urruty)

on June 15th-17th, 2015

We would like to draw your attention to the 17th British-French-German
Conference on Optimization held at Imperial College London, UK,
on June 15th-17th, 2015. The conference will address all aspects of
optimization and its applications, including optimization theory and
algorithm design, robust and stochastic optimization, variational
inequalities
and convex analysis as well as applications in control theory, energy,
finance,
operations management and engineering. More information about the
conference series, which started in Oberwolfach in 1980, can be found
at http://optimisation.doc.ic.ac.uk/bfg2015. Further enquiries can also be
sent to bfg2015 at imperial.ac.uk.

Remise des prix de these du PGMO (3 membres du jury designes par

et Jean Bernard Lasserre, cette annee) le 28/10 lors de la premiere
journee de la conf. PGMO-COPI'14

http://www.fondation-hadamard.fr/pgmo-copi-14/program

aux deux laureats ci-dessous :

** Daniel HOEHENER prepared his PhD thesis at Universit� Pierre et
Marie Curie (Paris 6) on "Conditions d?optimalit�
pour des probl�mes de contr�le optimal avec contraintes d?�tats''
(Optimality conditions for some optimal control
problems with state constaints), supervised by H�l�ne Frankowska. His
thesis includes several original results
about second order conditions, proven under more general assumptions
than the results already existing in literature,
expressed in primal form, and involving both state and control
constraints. The jury committee was impressed by the
novelty of the results in a very technical domain, which also gave
rise to excellent publications.

** Miquel OLIU BARTON also prepared his PhD thesis in Paris 6, under
the supervision of Sylvain Sorin. The dissertation,
on  "Jeux dynamiques � information incompl�te en temps discret et
continu" (Dynamical games with incomplete information
in dicrete and continuous time) is mainly devoted to the long-time
behavior in differential and repeated games and
control problems, and to games with lack of information. The jury
committee appreciated the impressive amount of works
and the novelty of the results, and in particular the new proof that
M. Oliu Barton gave of the existence of a limit
for the value in discounted games, with new and self contained techniques.

15- livre : Variational Analysis in Sobolev and BV Spaces:
Applications to PDEs and Optimization,
   Second Edition
(source : M. Th�ra)

Hedy Attouch, Giuseppe Buttazzo, and G�rard Michaille

MOS-SIAM Series on Optimization 17

This volume is an excellent guide for anyone interested in variational
analysis, optimization, and PDEs.
It offers a detailed presentation of the most important tools in
variational analysis as well as
applications to problems in geometry, mechanics, elasticity, and
computer vision.

Among the new elements in this second edition: the section of Chapter
5 on capacity theory and elements
of potential theory now includes the concepts of quasi-open sets and
quasi-continuity; Chapter 6 includes
an increased number of examples in the areas of linearized elasticity
system, obstacles problems,
convection-diffusion, and semilinear equations; Chapter 11 has been
expanded to include a section on mass
transportation problems and the Kantorovich relaxed formulation of the
Monge problem; a new subsection on
stochastic homogenization in Chapter 12 establishes the mathematical
tools coming from ergodic theory,
and illustrates them in the scope of statistically homogeneous
materials; Chapter 16 has been augmented
by examples illustrating the shape optimization procedure; and Chapter
17 is an entirely new and
comprehensive chapter devoted to gradient flows and the dynamical
approach to equilibria.

Audience
The book is intended for Ph.D. students, researchers, and
practitioners who want to approach the field of
variational analysis in a systematic way.
