FIRST ANNOUNCEMENT

International Symposium on Variational Analysis and Optimization
Dedicated to Professor Boris Mordukhovich on his 60th Birthday

November 28-30, 2008
Department of Applied Mathematics, National Sun Yat-sen University
Kaohsiung, Taiwan


Variational analysis is a rapidly growing area of mathematics with numerous applications to optimization, control theory, economics, engineering, and other disciplines. The main objective of the conference is to discuss recent results in variational analysis and its applications, particularly to optimization and control. The conference is dedicated to the 60th birthday of Boris Mordukhovich who made fundamental contributions
to variational analysis, generalized differentiation, and their various applications. We expect the participation in this conference of many prominent experts from different countries who will present the state-of-the-art in variational analysis, optimization, and their applications.
