IFIP TC 7

Established in 1972. Chaired by Lukasz Stettner

The aims of the 7th Technical Committee (TC7) of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) are

to provide an international clearing house for computational (as well as related theoretical) aspects of optimization problems in diverse areas and to share computing experience gained on specific applications;
to promote the development of necessary high-level theory to meet the needs of complex optimization problems and establish appropriate cooperation with the International Mathematics Union and similar organisations;
to foster interdisciplinary activity on optimization problems spanning the various areas such as Economics (including Business Administration and Management), Biomedicine, Meteorology, etc., in cooperation with associated international bodies.

The TC7 is currently composed of seven active Working Groups (WG).

We refer to IFIP-TC7 Historical Note (which is part of the IFIP jubilee book) for historical background and more information about TC7.
