OBJECTIVES:

The main goal of the Stream on "Engineering Optimization" is to bring together 
engineers, applied mathematicians and computer scientists working on research, 
development and practical application of optimization methods applied to all 
engineering disciplines or developing basic techniques in this field.

ABOUT ENGINEERING DESIGN OPTIMIZATION:

Modern design techniques seek for the best design to perform the desired 
tasks. 
Engineering Optimization deals with the optimal design of elements and systems 
in 
all 
engineering fields.

Nowadays, use of Design Optimization techniques is rapidly growing in most of 
engineering disciplines, like automotive, aeronautical, mechanical, civil, 
nuclear, 
naval, mechanical, electrical, energy and off-shore engineering. This is due to 
the 
increase of technological competition and the development of strong and 
efficient 
techniques for several practical applications.

MDO - Multidisciplinary Design Optimization:

Engineering Systems are increasingly complex and represented by large and 
sophisticated 
numerical models. They involve several interacting disciplines or are made up 
of 
distinct interacting subsystems that must be considered simultaneously to 
obtain 
efficient designs.

Multidisciplinary Design Optimization is devoted to the design of complex 
systems 
involving interacting subsystems or disciplines. The main scientific challenges 
of 
MDO 
are concerned with the development of strong and efficient numerical techniques 
and 
with the computational organization required for the necessary coupling of 
codes 
employed in interacting disciplines.

INVERSE PROBLEMS:

Numerical methods for inverse problems in most of cases are based on 
optimization 
techniques similar to those employed in optimal design. This field, applied in 
all 
engineering disciplines, is of utmost importance for EUROPT conference.

ENGINEERING SIMULATION INVOLVING OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUES:

Several physical phenomena are naturally represented by an optimization 
problem. 
This 
is the case when the "equilibrium" is attained at the minimum of an energy 
function. 
In 
several applications, constraints must be satisfied. This is the case of 
contact 
problems is solids mechanics.

BASIC NUMERICAL TECHNIQUES:

Engineering Optimization requires a large set of basic computer tools. This is 
the 
case 
of several CAD tools for geometric modeling, engineering analysis methods, 
sensitivity 
analysis as well as mathematical optimization algorithms.

About Interdisciplinarity in Engineering Optimization:

Modern Engineering Optimization is strongly interdisciplinary in two axes. The 
need 
of 
integration of basic and applied techniques and to solve real engineering 
problems, 
requires the cooperation of engineers, mathematicians and computer scientists, 
working 
on research and practical applications.
