The West Coast Optimization Meeting


This old page hasn't been touched in decades. In May 2021 I noticed that it was not merely outdated, but infested with broken links. A modest effort to fix things up is underway.


The West Coast Optimization Meeting takes place twice each year. It brings together researchers and practitioners interested in the theory and applications of continuous optimization in such exotic locations as Seattle and Vancouver. The WCOM has a long tradition of being small, informal, informative, and free. The ongoing support of the Pacific Institute for Mathematical Sciences is gratefully acknowledged.
