CALL FOR PAPERS for the 6th ASMO-UK/ISSMO International Conference on Engineering Design Optimization
3 - 4 July 2006 Oxford, UK Conference website: http://www.swansea.ac.uk/asmo Papers are invited for the presentation at the 6th International ASMO-UK/ISSMO conference on Engineering Design Optimization to be held 3 - 4 July 2006 in Oxford, UK. The ASMO-UK/ISSMO series of conferences provides an opportunity for researchers on multidisciplinary optimization from within and outside the UK to get together and share experience within a growing community. We encourage you to attend and present your current research. Application papers are particularly welcome. The purpose of the conference is to provide a forum for researchers, developers and users to present the latest developments, applications, ideas, experiences and problems in the application of design optimization tools to real life engineering problems. Keynote Speakers (see the Programme for more details): Professor Niels Olhoff, Aalborg University, Denmark: Title: "Topology optimization of structures with respect to dynamic and noise emission objectives." Dr Shahrokh Shahpar, Rolls-Royce, UK Title: "Use of High Fidelity CFD Code in the Multi-objective Design of Turbomachinery Components." Dr Richard Slade, EADS Astrium, UK Title: "Design optimisation and robustness analysis of an airbag landing system for the ExoMars space mission." Conference Topics: - Industrial Applications - Multidisciplinary Design Optimization - Design of experiments (physical and computational) methodology - Design sensitivity analysis - Distributed computing in design optimization - Integration of optimization tools in the design and manufacturing process - Numerical optimization techniques (gradient-based methods, approximation methods, evolutionary algorithms, etc.) - Topology, shape and sizing optimization - Inverse Problems - Education http://www.swansea.ac.uk/asmo
