About ISSMO

The International Society for Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization (ISSMO) was founded in October 1991.  Today ISSMO has almost two thousand  members from more than 50 countries.  

The objectives of ISSMO are:

• To stimulate and promote research into all aspects of the optimal design of structures as well as multidisciplinary design optimization where the involved disciplines deal with the analysis of solids, fluids or other field problems;

• To encourage practical applications of optimization methods and the corresponding software development in all branches of technology;

• To foster the interchange of ideas amongst various fields contributing to structural and multidisciplinary optimization;

• To provide a framework for the organization of meetings and other means for the dissemination of knowledge on structural and multidisciplinary optimization; and

• To promote teaching of structural and multidisciplinary optimization in tertiary institutions.
