Audet and W. Hare. Derivative-Free and Blackbox Optimization. Springer Series in Operations Research and Financial Engineering, Springer International Publishing, 302 pages, DOI 10.1007/978-3-319- 68913-5, December 2017. This book is designed as a textbook, suitable for self-learning or for teaching an upper-year university course on derivative-free and blackbox optimization. The book is split into 5 parts and is designed to be modular; any individual part depends only on the material in Part I. Part I of the book discusses what is meant by Derivative-Free and Blackbox Optimization, provides background material, and early basics while Part II focuses on heuristic methods (Genetic Algorithms and Nelder-Mead). Part III presents direct search methods (Generalized Pattern Search and Mesh Adaptive Direct Search) and Part IV focuses on model-based methods (Simplex Gradient and Trust Region). Part V discusses dealing with constraints, using surrogates, and bi-objective optimization. End of chapter exercises are included throughout as well as 15 end of chapter projects and over 40 figures. Benchmarking techniques are also presented in the appendix. The book opens up with a foreword by John Dennis.

Simple UQ tasks such as the estimation of statistical properties of system outputs often require multiple calls to a deterministic solver. A single solver call is already very expensive for complex mathematical models. Advanced UQ tasks such as sensitivity and reliability analysis, parameter identification, or optimal control and design often involve several layers of increasing complexity where each layer requires the performance of a specific UQ task. This workshop will address efficient numerical and statistical methods for reducing the overall cost of solving discrete problems that arise in UQ studies, focusing on methodologies that reduce the dimension of the problems to be solved. Talks will be organised around topics such as: multilevel and multifidelity methods; reduced basis methods; dimension reduction strategies; low rank and tensor methods; challenges in Gaussian process emulation, and active subspaces. Workshop speakers and participants will be encouraged to explore connections between these topics. There will also be two contributed poster presentations. Please indicate on the registration form if you are interested in presenting a poster. A limited amount of funding may be available to support PhD students. ------------------------------------------------------- From: Jakub Kurzak [log in to unmask] Date: December 11, 2017 Subject: Automatic Performance Tuning, Canada, May 2018 The Thirteenth International Workshop on Automatic Performance Tuning (in conjunction with IPDPS 2018, Vancouver, Canada) is open for submissions.

We have clarified its scope, which emphasizes: 1) approximation theory and computational geometry; 2) numerical analysis, modelling and simulation; 3) imaging, signal processing and data analysis. We encourage you, your students, and your colleagues to use ACOM as a home for high-quality numerical analysis and scientific computing; you will see many familiar names on the editorial board. Soon authors will also be able to upload code or data with their article. We also have special issues, so please reach out if you would like to propose one. https://link.springer.com/journal/10444 ------------------------------------------------------- From: Edward B.
