**************************************************************
After six successful workshops on various similar topics we will
celebrate the new millenium by organizing the Seventh Viennese
workshop on Optimal Control, Dynamic Games and Nonlinear Dynamics.
The aim is to bring together researchers interested in the application
of nonlinear methods in economics, operations research and management
science. Topics of interest are optimal control theory, dynamic
programming, differential games, evolutionary games, learning,
economic modeling, chaos theory, complex systems and related fields.
Theoretical contributions to one of these fields which are relevant to
problems from economics or OR/MS are especially welcome but also
applied modeling will be covered.
A registration fee of EURO 150.- (approx. US$ 165.-) will be charged.
Payment by major credit cards will be possible.
In addition to the scientific program an interesting social program
will be organized [to be announced later].
Accompanying persons can participate in the official social program at
a rate of approximately EURO 40.- (approx. US$ 45.-). The exact amount
will be announced when the social program has been fixed.
Participants who wish to present a paper will be asked to provide an
extended abstract of 20 to 40 lines later. All abstracts will be
refereed and accepted for presentation solely on the basis of their
merit for the workshop.
