SWIM 2024

Summer Workshop on Interval Methods
-

The Summer Workshop on Interval Methods provides a platform for researchers working on or with interval methods and their applications. 

We encourage all researchers to use the conference as a forum for lively discussion of current research and the latest techniques. Therefore, not only fully elaborated new results, but also reports on ongoing research activities and review papers summarizing previous work are welcome. Research applying interval methods to problems in artificial intelligence are particularly encouraged.

To ensure the visibility of our workshop, peer-reviewed full papers of accepted and presented abstracts will be collected and published after SWIM.
