invites you to the

One Day Optimization Colloquium

 Monday February 13, 2006, 8:55-15:45
Czech Technical University, Faculty of Electrical Engineering,
Karlovo namesti 13, Building G, room G205. See (how to get here).

The aim of the colloquium is bridge the unnatural gap between researchers in control theory on one side and computer vision/pattern recognition on the other side. The talks should introduce the field of current optimization also to other researchers. Anyone is invited to pre-register (up to the full capacity). The participation is free of charge. Working language is English.
