At the beginning of the new millennium, optimization is undergoing a major transformation in scope and dimension. It evolves in response to challenges and opportunities from industry. From a largely dominant focus on specific problems, optimization is rapidly expanding to provide all the ingredients for a surge of a much broader flowering of technological, business, and financial innovations that could rival any in history.

At the time of this intense change the conference provides a unique opportunity for leading researches in optimization and captains of industry to understand the significance of this change by reflecting on the fields accomplishments, new developments, and future directions. The emphasis of these new frontiers is reflected in the theme for the Conference, "Optimization and Industry: Coming together in the New Century".

A refereed volume is being planned with papers based on talks presented at the Conference. Details will be announced at a later time.

Please send title and abstract of your final talk (Latex file), by email to v.korotkich@cqu.edu.au by May 1, 2001.
