Dear staff members and students of the Department of MIT, You are welcome to the meeting of the Postgraduate Seminar in Information Technology on Thursday, December 9 starting at 12.15 in Ag D 121. We'll continue the tradition of introducing research groups of our department as well as on-going PhD research. The following talks will be given: * Hannakaisa Isomäki: Description of Research Activities * Giovanni Iacca: Advances in compact Differential Evolution. Giovanni's abstract is available at the seminar website http://users.jyu.fi/~miettine/kurssit/jatkoksem/ In addition, I'll give a summary of a recent seminar on mobility in computational sciences, if we have time. You can get coffee/tea and a bun at Piato before the seminar at 12.00-12.15. Welcome! See you in the seminar, Kaisa Miettinen ************************************ Professor Kaisa Miettinen, PhD Industrial Optimization Group http://www.mit.jyu.fi/optgroup/ Dept. of Mathematical Information Technology P.O.
