With the advent of powerful computers and novel mathematical programming techniques, the multidisciplinary field of optimization has advanced to the stage that quite complicated systems can be addressed. The conference was organized to provide a platform for the exchange of new ideas and information and for identifying needs for future research. The contributions covered both theoretical techniques and a rich variety of case studies to which optimization can be usefully applied.
