Air Force Workshop on Optimal Design and Control
Abstract
This report contains a summary and highlights of the work funded by the Air Force under AFOSR Grant F49620-97-1-0264, titled 'Air Force Workshop on Optimal Design and Control'. This effort was conducted by the Air Force Center for Optimal Design and Control (CODAC), during the period 1 April 1997 - 31 December 1997. The Center planned, organized and ran a workshop in Washington, DC from 30 September through 3 October 1997. The workshop was attended by sixty-six participants with thirty-six technical presentations. The objectives of the workshop included an assessment of current research efforts in optimal design, an evaluation of Air Force needs and identification of future directions in optimal design. The speakers, including twenty invited leading researchers, covered a variety of topics including: (1) Sensitivity Equation Methods, (2) Adjoint Methods, (3) Automatic Differentiation, and (4) Optimization Theory and Algorithms and Engineering Design Applications. Twenty-two of the technical papers have been assembled into a Proceeding volume, to be published by Birkhanser-Boston. A second volume assessing the state-of-the-art and future directions will also be published by Birkhanser-Boston.
