Final Call for Papers
13th World Congress on Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (WCSMO-13)
Beijing, China, 20-24 May 2019.
Invitation
On behalf of the International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (ISSMO), we are very pleased to invite you to participate in the 13th World Congress on Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (WCSMO-13) to be held in Beijing, China, 20-24 May 2019. The abstract deadline has been extended to 18 JANUARY, 2019 (more information below).
The main objectives of the conference are to stimulate and promote research into all aspects of the structural and multidisciplinary optimization (SMO) and related topics.
