A two-day workshop on Advances in Simulation-Driven Optimization and Modeling (ASDOM 2011) will be held at the Reykjavik University, Iceland, between August 13th-14th, 2010. The workshop will be focused on reviewing the state-of-the-art engineering modeling and optimization techniques, providing a forum for cross-disciplinary discussion, as well as promoting important topics for the future research and development.

The workshop topics include, but are not limited to:
• Simulation-driven design
• Knowledge-based methods
• Multidisciplinary design and optimization
• Optimization methods for CPU-intensive engineering problems
• Multi-fidelity analysis and optimization
• Surrogate-based modeling and optimization
• Function-approximation-based and physics-based surrogate models
• Space mapping and response correction techniques
• Approximation, interpolation and response surface methodologies
• Adjoint sensitivities in simulation-driven design
• Artificial neural network modeling of devices and systems
• Software architectures for optimization-oriented design
• Application case studies

Prospective speakers are encouraged to submit their proposals including the talk title and abstract to the organizers. For more information please visit the official workshop website at http://eomc.ru.is/asdom2011.
