Abstract | The initiative is oriented to researchers, doctoral students and practitioners with a general aim to attract a significant audience to a key and rapidly growing area of mathematical programming.
The school aims also at establishing a qualified venue to enhance and promote the understanding by young scientists of the potentials of applied stochastic optimisation in areas such as finance, production planning, energy, telecommunications and clarify to leading practitioners the current state of the art in the development of stochastic optimisation techniques.
The proposal comes at a point in which the potentials of stochastic programming techniques in applied decision theory are becoming fully recognised in the industry, and the demand for advanced education programmes in this area is growing. |
