As part of an effort to define new growth directions in the general area of Information and Communication, the Department of Information Technology and Electrical Engineering of ETH Zurich is organizing a mini-symposium during the week of May 19-23, 2008, on the general theme of computational optimization. Several leading researchers whose work touches upon this subject from a variety of perspectives (information theory, networks, signal processing, vision and automatic control) have been invited to present their research and discuss their insights into this area.
