It is our pleasure to invite you, your co-workers and students to present your research work on engineering optimization at the EngOpt 2014 Conference. The main goal of EngOpt conferences is to bring together, in a common scientific forum, engineers, applied mathematicians and computer scientists working on research, development and practical application of optimization methods applied to all engineering disciplines or developing basic techniques in this field. EngOpt 2104 is endorsed by ISSMO – International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, MOS – Mathematical Optimization Society, EUROPT – the continuous optimization group of EURO, the Association of European Operational Research Societies.
