报告内容：Global optimization has many significant progress in the last decades in algorithmic and computational approaches and in its diversity of applications in sciences and engineering. This talk is going to re-examine several challenging issues in the field of global optimization. We will start with a historical development and then we will address several complexity issues. Then we are going to discuss heuristics and techniques for their evaluation.
