Abstract. Optimization is a staple of numerical computation. In industry, optimization is used in planning, design, marketing, and distribution. Many important problems (both in industry and in academia) cannot be solved satisfactorily with current algorithms due to limitations of available computing hardware. The Parallel Optimization and Automatic Differentiation project is dedicated to solving these problems through algorithms designed to exploit the capabilities of parallel computers. Engineering problems currently being studied include multidisciplinary design optimization and optimal control. Other research areas include automatic differentiation tools and problem-solving environments for large-scale optimization. This research is making fundamental contributions to the way we formulate and solve large optimization problems arising from applications by exploring new technologies, including distributed computing over the Web.Corporate Sponsors for this research area are currently not available.
