A user of optimization software often needs to find the global optimum, that is, the best local optimum. In many cases, local optima are physically meaningless, and finding the global optimum becomes a necessity. Unfortunately, the task of finding a global optimum is very difficult because standard optimization solvers usually get trapped in local optima.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together experts from different areas that have contributed to global optimization.
