         **************************************************
         ***  AD 2000 - FROM SIMULATION TO OPTIMIZATION ***
         **************************************************
  will take place

  --------------------------------------------------------------
  | from June 19th to June 23rd at Nice (Cote d'Azur, France). |
  --------------------------------------------------------------

  AD 2000 will be organized locally by INRIA Sophia-Antipolis under
  the direction of an international program committee. It
  represents a follow up on the two previous workshops held in
  Breckenridge (USA) in 1991 and in Santa Fe (USA) in 1996. Special
  emphasis will be placed on relationships and synergies between
  AD techniques and other software tools such as compilers and
  parallelizers.  Apart from recent advances in research and software
  development  conference topics include applications of AD to
  optimization, ODEs/DAEs, inverse problems, biomedical research,
  and mathematics of finance.
