DFOS 24 Conference in Padua
Between June 24 and 28, the DFOS 24 (Derivative-Free Optimization Symposium 2024) conference was held in Padua, an event of international significance in the field of derivative-free optimization. The conference featured the participation of global experts who shared their latest research and innovations. Deix was a sponsor of the event, and Giampaolo Liuzzi, a founding partner of Deix and a member of our scientific committee, played a prominent role as a member of the organizing committee.
The Importance of DFOS 24
From June 26 to 28, Padua became the focal point for the academic and industrial communities interested in derivative-free optimization. Derivative-Free Optimization (DFO) comprises techniques for optimizing complex objective functions without the need to compute derivatives. This approach is extremely useful in many industrial applications where the objective function is difficult to model or where derivatives are hard or impossible to calculate. Examples include the optimization of manufacturing processes, the design of complex engineering systems, and the resolution of problems with noisy or incomplete data.
Contributions from Deix and Giampaolo Liuzzi
Giampaolo Liuzzi presented several cutting-edge research papers on derivative-free optimization methods, demonstrating how these can be applied in practical contexts. For instance, among the projects he is responsible for, the BIODRONES project is one of the most interesting. This project aims to develop autonomous underwater vehicles with biology-inspired shapes and functions, using advanced simulation and optimization algorithms for efficient design.
