System Modeling and Optimization

This book is a collection of thoroughly refereed papers presented at the 27th IFIP TC 7 Conference on System Modeling and Optimization, held in Sophia Antipolis, France, in June/July 2015. The 48 revised papers were carefully reviewed and selected from numerous submissions. They cover the latest progress intheir respective areas andencompass broad aspects of system modeling and optimiza-tion, such as modeling and analysis of systems governed by Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) or Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs), control ofPDEs/ODEs, nonlinear optimization, stochastic optimization, multi-objectiveoptimization, combinatorial optimization, industrial applications, and numericsof PDEs.
