Selected Reports of the Group on Simulation, Optimization and Control

The Group on Simulation, Optimization and Control (G-SOC) operated from 1973 to 1983. Co-ordinated by John W. Bandler, its members came from the Departments of Electrical Engineering and Chemical Engineering. Faculty members of G-SOC included Dr. C.M. Crowe, Dr. E. Della Torre, Dr. W. Kinsner, Dr. J.F. MacGregor, Dr. N.K. Sinha, Dr. J.D. Wright, and Dr. R.T.H. Alden. G-SOC organized regular research or tutorial seminars and short courses, in addition to publishing an internal reports series.

"The Research Group on Simulation, Optimization and Control (G-SOC) was formed to encourage cooperative research and maintain informal interaction in areas of mutual interest to members of the group, including graduate students engaged in research at the M.Eng. or Ph.D level. G-SOC organizes regular research and tutorial seminars throughout the year given by its members as well as bringing in well-known speakers from industry and universities. In addition to extensive publications by G-SOC members, a series of internal reports covering simulation, optimization and control topics is published by the group. Preprints or extended versions of papers, reprints of papers appearing in conference proceedings, fully documented computer program descriptions including listings, theses, notes, and manuals appear as internal reports. Periodic short courses or workshop on topics of current interest are organized featuring outstanding authorities from outside McMaster University." -John W. Bandler, 1973 Pamphlet for G-SOC.
