Welcome to the official website of the workshop on Global Optimization Methods: Theory, Techniques, and MatLab Simulations

In the pages of the website you will find useful information about the program of the workshop, the registration process, and the distinguished speakers.

This seminar aims to discuss the technical trends and challenges of global optimization techniques. Optimization can be thought as the art of making good decisions. Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) belong to the family of stochastic optimizers. Several evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have emerged in the past decades that mimic biological entities behavior and evolution. EAs are widely used for the solution of single and multi-objective optimization engineering problems. The EAs have also been applied to a variety of microwave component, antenna design, radar design, and wireless communications problems. These techniques, among others, include Genetic Algorithms (GAs), Evolution Strategies (ES), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Differential evolution (DE. In addition, new innovative algorithms that are not only biology-based but also physics-based or chemistry-based have emerged. The use of the above algorithms has an increasing impact on real-world engineering problems. School participants will gain fundamental theoretical and practical knowledge and a wide perspective on the above focus areas. Moreover, they will learn in practice by experimenting with MATLAB exercises.

Who will apply

Students, graduates and professional interested in gaining knowledge in all the above fields. A registration fee of 60 EUR is required for non-students. A fee of 30 EUR is applicable for students.

How to apply

If you are interested you can apply by filling the form and paying the registration fees.
