Optimisation in Industry workshop

Dates & Venue: 5–7 June 2013; RMIT University, Melbourne.

The workshop is a collaboration between academics, IBM Research and other research organisations. It is supported by AustMS and AMSI, as well as other organisations, including ASOR, MASCOS, RMIT, and Melbourne University and Red & Black Architecture Studio.

The goal of the workshop is to discuss business analytics and optimisation applied to real-world problems, to share state-of-the art research results, learn about available analytics tools, and learn from experienced researchers how to handle projects that have an industry partner.

• Talks on Day 1 will demonstrate value to industry and teach the participants how to advocate research in optimisation and in business analytics.
• Talks on Days 2 and 3 have the primary goal to train students, researchers, practitioners in how to conduct successful research on industry problems.

We hope that you will encourage interested students and industry partners to take part. We have an amazing list of speakers lined up, with local and international speakers of the highest calibre.
