This 2-day workshop is the latest in a series that provides a forum for the presentation of theoretical developments in and applications of Automatic Differentiation (AD) and adjoint methods.

This workshop will be organised into two complementary sections. The Thursday session will concentrate on AD applications (particularly those concerned with aerospace or engineering design), whereas the Friday session will focus on more theoretical aspects of Automatic Differentiation.

Further information will be posted on the conference website as it becomes available

CONTRIBUTIONS

We welcome contributions on any aspect of AD at the workshop. If you would like to make a presentation on a piece of ongoing work, please contact Bruce Christianson as soon as possible.

We also hope to produce a set of post-proceedings following the workshop, including extended abstracts and position papers as well as research notes and full research reports. If you would like to contribute to these proceedings, it would be helpful if you could submit an outline, or preliminary version, for distribution prior to the workshop.
