High-performance computing is very important for optimization. Large
practical optimization problems unsolvable with a single computer due
to the limited time always exist. Therefore, high-performance
computers and distributed computing systems are very helpful. On the
other hand optimization is helpful to high-performance computing in a
broader scope allowing efficient exploitation of resources. This
workshop aims to bring together researchers interested in both
high-performance computing and optimization to discuss recent trend in
the area.

Topics: Parallel and distributed optimization algorithms; Parallel
global optimization; Parallel branch and bound; Parallel
metaheuristics; Parallel multicriteria optimization; Hierarchical
optimization algorithms; Efficient exploitation of parallel and
distributed systems; Optimization for cloud resource management;
Applications of parallel and distributed optimization

Subject: PhD Position, RWTH Aachen Univ, Germany

Simulation techniques have become an important instrument for the
development, design and quality assurance of engineering
components. Since its foundation in 2004, the Chair for Computational
Analysis of Technical Systems conducts active research at the
interface between mechanical engineering and applied mathematics. Our
main focus is the development and implementation of numerical
methods. Currently, we are searching for new doctoral candidates to
complement our group in one of the following areas:

Biomedical engineering: Modeling of blood flow and blood damage; Shape
optimization of biomedical devices; Fluid-structure interaction in
biomedical devices

Aerospace engineering: Static and dynamic aeroelasticity; Optimal
control and uncertainty quantification; Vortex-induced vibrations

Production technology: Modeling of plastics melts in injection
moulding, welding, or extrusion; Modeling of high-pressure die
casting; Shape optimization for mould-based manufacturing processes;
Heat transport in manufacturing processes

Requirement for the position is a university master's degree in
engineering, applied mathematics, physics or a similar subject, with a
superior academic record. Practical programming experience in Fortran
or C as well as in parallelization (MPI or OpenMP) are of
advantage. We expect you to contribute to general tasks at the
institute, such as teaching and advising master or project theses. In
particular, the teaching will involve the course Simulation Methods
for Mechanical Engineers, and requires knowledge of the German
language.

The candidates will be employed as a full-time employee and must meet
required personal qualifications; the salary level is according to
TV-L E13 scale. The initial appointment will be for one year, but is
renewable for up to five years. Applications are being reviewed now.

Applications should be sent to:
Prof. Marek Behr
Chair for Computational Analysis of Technical Systems
Center for Computational Engineering Science
RWTH Aachen University,
Schinkelstr. 252062 Aachen
