About the workshop
Optimization of truss structures has many practical applications, for example, in the design of bridges, exoskeleton of tall buildings, and large span roof structures. The problem formulations lead to many classes of optimization problems, from continuous to discrete, linear programming to nonlinear/semidefinite programming, and are commonly known to be large-scale problems. Hence, the models and the associated solution techniques usually need clever solution techniques. This workshop will consist of several presentations by leading researchers, with the aim of promoting an exchange of ideas to advance the state of the art in this area.Date
