On Tuesday 12th August 2003, just before the MISTA conference, there is a tutorial day that will allow leading reseachers to present some of the modern optimization techniques that are being used today. Each tutorial will last one and a half hours.
The tutorials are being aimed at a level applicable to students
in the first year of their PhD and, as such, will be applicable to many people
including those from industry, researchers who do not work in this field but
who wish to find out more about these techniques, as well as those working
in the field who, perhaps, need a refresher.
There there also be a book from the event, which we hope will be published about one month after. This book will have a chapter for each speaker/author. The book will be published by Kluwer.
Places will be strictly limited, so early booking is essential.
Registration is now open and the registration form can been download in either Word or PDF format.

If you are registering for INTROS'03 at the student rate we require a letter from your institution (on headed notepaper, with an institution stamp), confirming that you are a student.
There are some student bursaries available for this workshop.
This will pay for registration at the workshop (but will not fund travel,
accommodation or subsistence). If you are registering as a student and would
like to be considered for one of these bursaries, please supply a justification
as to why you should be given this opportunity and submit with your registration
document. This document should not exceed either 400 words or one side of
A4 paper. The closing date for applications is 30th May 2003. The way you
write the justification is up to you. No advice should be sought, or can be
given.
If you apply for a bursary, you do not need to include payment at this time.
If you are successful, then your registration fee will be waived. If you are
not successful in obtaining a bursary, we will guarantee you a place at the
workshop provided payment is received.
We will gladly supply you a letter to allow you to obtain a
visa but we cannot issue a letter until we have received payment.
The cost of the workshop does not cover accommodation, but does
include lunch. We have negotiated special rates with the hotel and there are
various other alternatives in, and around Nottingham. Please see the MISTA
accommodation page for further details.
The INTROS'03 main page can be seen here.
This event is being held in conjunction with the MISTA conference.
