Areas of Interest

The IPDO-2019 Symposium will emphasize a broad range of deterministic, statistical, analytical, computational and experimental approaches, which can be applied to the solution of inverse, design and multi-disciplinary optimization problems. Contributions dealing with practical applications are encouraged, such as in mechanics, vehicle engineering, civil engineering, aeronautics, micro-electronics, bio-medicine, Imaging, transport and sensing of pollutants, materials design and processing, remote sensing, non-destructive evaluation, acceleration of single-objective and multi-objective optimization, meta-models for high-dimensional problems, uncertainty quantification, unsupervised deep learning algorithms, etc. The topics listed below give a general guideline for possible contributions:
