Aim of the Workshop

Todays most challenging applications require the combination of discrete decisions with nonlinear models. The obvious need for appropriate optimization techniques has recently lead to scattered, but increasingly ambitious efforts on integrating both fields.

In this workshop experts in the fields of both continuous and discrete optimization will come together in order review the state of the art, increase cooperation and develop lines of research for the future.

The workshop consists of 23 invited presentations, 5 of them one-hour lectures of survey character and 18 talks (30 minutes each) on special issues. We thank all speakers for having accepted our invitation, and the Chemnitz University of Technology, in particular the Department of Mathematics, whose funds make this workshop possible.

Travel Information

International visitors reach Chemnitz easiest by going by plane to either Airport Leipzig/Halle or Airport Dresden, then using the provided shuttle service from the airport to the respective main railway station and finally going by train to Chemnitz main railway station. It cannot be advised to use the Airport Altenburg-Nobitz, because there is only a shuttle service to Leipzig from where you have to continue by train to Chemnitz.

From the airport Leipzig/Halle use the regular  Airport Express trains  to the main railway station in Leipzig (Leipzig Hauptbahnhof). The trains leave at the airport's train station about every 30 minutes. The journey takes about 15 minutes.

At Leipzig Hauptbahnhof take the next train to Chemnitz. Trains run about every hour. Depending on which train you take you will reach Chemnitz in about 1,5 to 2,5 hours.

From the Airport Dresden, Airport Dresden use the regular  Shuttle services  (S-Bahn) to the main railway station in Dresden (Dresden Hauptbahnhof). The S-Bahn station is on the lower level of the new terminal building. The journey takes about 22 minutes.

At Dresden Hauptbahnhof take the next train to Chemnitz. Trains run about every hour. You will reach Chemnitz in about 80 minutes.

Guests

Unfortunately, we will have to collect a registration fee of approximately 70 Euro to cover the costs of coffee, the workshop dinner and the visit to the museum.
