The purpose of this workshop is to bring together leading researchers in the area of robust optimization and provide Sandia critical technological information for future development in this area. Uncertainty in simulation models and data measurements is a wide spread issue for many important engineering and other scientific problems. Robust optimization offers a capability to account for variations and uncertainties by typical posing the problem as a “min max” problem. The solution methods of such a formulation is at the core of this workshop. Solving large scale problems is eventually our goal, but thus only small scale problems can be solved with existing solution methods. We will invite participants to specifically focus on this particular issue.
