Summary for Workshop on:
\begin{center}
{\bf \large{Large Scale Nonlinear and Semidefinite Programming\footnote{
http://orion.math.uwaterloo.ca/~hwolkowi/w04workshop.d/readme.html}
}}\\
Workshop in memory of Jos Sturm
\end{center}

\begin{center}
May 12-15, 2004, University of Waterloo
\end{center}

\noindent
{\em Organizers:}
Etienne de Klerk (University of Waterloo),
Franz Rendl (Universit\"at Klagenfurt),
Tamas Terlaky (McMaster University),
Levent Tuncel (University of Waterloo),
Tony Vannelli (University of Waterloo),
Henry Wolkowicz (University of Waterloo).\\


During the last fifteen years, Semidefinite Programming (SDP), has been
(arguably) the hottest area of research in optimization.
The elegant theory and multiple application areas has combined with
strong algorithmic interior-point methods. However, solving large scale
problems is still a major difficulty for SDP.

In April 2003 we (the committee) began the organization for the workshop.
Our aim was to bring together
researchers from SDP with those from more
classical areas of Linear/Nonlinear Programming, where large scale
problems have been tackled. We expected a total of forty participants.

Our first task was to choose ten plenary speakers involved in both
theoretical and numerical work. A first choice made
was Jos Sturm, from Tilburg University, The Netherlands.
Our plans were successful and by September we had most of the program
planned out and scheduled. But in early October we heard the terrible
news that Jos had suffered a haemorrage in the brain while cycling to
work. After a difficult two months, he passed away on Dec. 6, 2003.

The workshop was now declared to be in memory of Jos Sturm. There was
an immediate outpouring of grief and desire to attend this workshop.
From forty participants our numbers soon increased. (One hundred twenty
attended the meeting.) In addition, donations were collected to help
Jos' family attend the workshop and also the special session in his
honor.

The workshop was preceeded by  short courses on
Theory and Algorithms for Cone Programming.
Buoyed by the additional attendance,
the scientific content for this workshop was excellent beyond all
expectations. There were no parallel talks. But, there were poster
sessions held. Breakfast and lunch was provided and allowed for more
interaction and concentration on the excellent poster sessions.
Two poster prizes were awarded:
Miguel Anjos, University of Southampton (general prize) and
 Angelika Wiegele, Universit\"at Klagenfurt (student prize).
Only time will tell, but this workshop appears to have been one of the
most important meetings in Optimization held during the last few years.

A Special Issue on "Large Scale Nonlinear and Semidefinite Programming"
will be published in Mathematical Programming Series B.

In addition to support by the Fields Institute, funding was provided
through the Faculty of Mathematics, University of Waterloo and MITACS grants.
