qpworkshop2010OPTEC Workshop on
Large Scale Convex Quadratic Programming -
Algorithms, Software, and Applications
Leuven, November 25 and 26, 2010
Aim of this two day workshop is to bring together scientists working on algorithms and software for the solution of large scale quadratic programs as they arise in numerous applications. Special emphasis will be given to convex QPs with large numbers of variables or constraints that necessitate specialized and possibly distributed algorithms.
