News: Intensive course on distributed optimization, February 8-12, 2010

During the last couple of years, applied optimization has had a tremendous impact on the development of algorithms for coordination and resource sharing in networks and systems. Examples include multi-robot coordination, distributed estimation, radio resource management in wireless systems, and traffic engineering in data networks. Very quickly, optimization theory has moved from the periphery to the core of many engineering disciplines: classical optimization techniques are being rediscovered and enhanced, and completely new optimization algorithms, tailored to the constraints of networked systems, are being developed. This intensive course attempts to present some of the key techniques for distributed optimization in such systems in a coherent and comprehensible manner.

Lecturers:
- Prof. Stephen Boyd, Stanford University
- Prof. Mikael Johansson, KTH
- Dr. Bo Yang, KTH

PhD and postdoc positions in engineering optimization

We will shortly announce PhD and postdoc positions in the area of engineering optimization, with special focus on distributed optimization and optimization of communication networks.
