The Vienna Workshop on Computational Optimization 2018 (VWCO18) will be held at the University of Vienna from 17-19 December 2018. The program will include eight plenary talks and a number of contributed presentations. Participation is free of charge, but registration is required due to a limited number of admissions.

Invited Speakers include

• Heinz Bauschke (University of British Columbia)
  
• Stephen Boyd (Stanford University)
• Peter Gritzmann (TU Munich)
• Harald Raecke (TU Munich)
• Stephen Wright (University of Wisconsin) - Slides to "Optimization in Data Analysis: Some Recent Developments"
• Anita Schoebel (University of Goettingen)

This event is organised and sponsored by the Vienna Graduate School on Computational Optimization (VGSCO), a  PhD program funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF).

The aim of this workshop is to gather researchers from the optimization community. There will be opportunities to interact and discuss the latest trends and theoretical results in this field, but also to review advances and challenges in the computational aspects.

The topics covered will include

• Convex Optimization
• Nonsmooth Optimization
• Dynamic Optimization
• Combinatorial Optimization
• Stochastic Optimization
• with a special emphasis on computational issues and applications.
