Abstract: Operations research (OR) techniques and intelligent techniques can find wide applications in different industry sectors, service sectors and economics. In this seminar, First, I will talk about the procedures for modeling and solving the general scheduling problems by OR techniques alone or by combining OR techniques and intelligent techniques.
Then I will use my personal research activities in different sectors such as iron and steel industry, energy industry, food industry, air cargo industry, electronic industry to show how to address the practical scheduling problems by integrating the characteristics of different sectors into problem formulation and developing the solution approaches smartly.
Finally, I will mention my ideas of extending OR techniques into economics, trying to attract the cooperation with the researchers in economics.

Abstract: The term Nonlinear Filtering refers to the problem of reconstructing the state of a nonlinear system (or more generally a Markov Process) from noise corrupted observations in a causal fashion, that is, only past and present measurements are to be taken into account. Nonlinear Filtering appears in scientific fields as different as signal processing, control theory, econometrics, and environmental forecasting, sometimes in different guises and under different names. In this talk, the notion of nonlinear filtering will be motivated and explained. Several illustrative examples are presented. An interesting problem in filtering is the existence of asymptotically stationary filtering processes, which is both mathematically interesting and of relevance in practical applications. Several special cases have been studied, which, although differing in the details, share a common approach. This approach employs the projective Birkhoff metric on suitable cones. The talk will ske tch the main ideas behind this approach.

In a context of globalization and accelerated transformation, new concerns and expectations have emerged from citizens, consumers, public authorities, the media, investors and society in general regarding the role that organizations play in society. Based on this assumption, company management can and should contribute to a fairer society, a cleaner environment and genuine sustainable development if it is geared towards these interest groups.

EWMD Portugal - European Organization for the Development of Management Skills in Women invites you to participate in its 5th Seminar "Management in the Third Sector", with Dr. Isabel Jonet as guest speaker.

EWMD Portugal is a non-profit organization whose vision is to contribute to the creation of a society with greater gender diversity, with the active participation of women and men in the management of organizations and in the development of professional careers that consider the fundamental balance between professional and private life.

In this way, it seeks to inspire organizations to implement internal gender diversity policies in order to promote the active participation of female talent in senior management. This active participation requires that women develop the necessary skills to play this role in organizations.
