Overview

Optimization is an important area of applied mathematics that bridges mathematical theory with applications in diverse fields. This Twenty Fourth Annual Midwest Optimization Meeting provides opportunities for researchers in this region with different backgrounds to come together to share their research and teaching experiences, forge collaborations with colleagues from different institutions, and to expose students to applications of mathematical theory. This workshop will focus on bringing together several of the diverse communities working on large scale optimization models that arise from variational problems.

  • Breakfast/lunch/coffee-breaks will be provided on site in the Main Hall of Federation Hall to the registered participants. There is no registration fee.
    All talks but one are in the Main/Westmount Halls of Federation Hall. The joint plenary/Tutte talk on Friday at 3:30PM is in Math. and Comp. Sc., MC5501.
  • Wi-fi Univ. of Waterloo Guests INTERNET ACCESS instructions
  • The local hotels have a special discount rate for participants at conferences held at University of Waterloo. ( More hotel information is available here.) ( AIRPORT <--> GROUND TRANSPORTATION INFO is available here.)

    • SPEAKERS: Links to the abstracts and to most of The slides have links below. (Please tell us if you do/do-not want the slides made public.) If you are using a 'MAC' laptop, then please bring a suitable adaptor.
    • PARTICIPANTS: Please join us for: breakfasts, lunches AND the reception, on site. Then we can all truly benefit from the return to a face-face conference. (Links to the interesting menus are below.)
    • PARKING The closest visitor parking lot to Federation Hall is Lot M and the fee to park there is $6.00/day per vehicle. Tickets can be purchased through the Pay and Display terminal located in Lot M. There is additional paid parking in Lot J (beside Federation Hall) where parking passes need to be purchased in Lot S.
