Selected Reports of the Group on Simulation, Optimization and Control, 1973-1983

Abstract

The Research Group on Simulation, Optimization and Control (G-SOC) was formed in 1973, running to 1983, to encourage cooperative research and maintain informal interaction in areas of mutual interest to members of the group, including graduate students engaged in research at the M.Eng. or Ph.D level. G-SOC organized regular research and tutorial seminars throughout the year given by its members as well as bringing in well-known speakers from industry and universities. In addition to extensive publications by G-SOC members, a series of internal reports covering simulation, optimization and control topics was published by the group. Preprints or extended versions of papers, reprints of papers appearing in conference proceedings, fully documented computer program descriptions including listings, theses, notes, and manuals appeared as internal reports. Periodic short courses or workshop on topics of current interest were organized featuring outstanding authorities from outside McMaster University.
