OBJECTIVES
It is hard to overestimate the economic and scientific repercussion of the solution of the engineering tasks (classes of problems). Particularly, the analysis and the synthesis of preparing and making decisions under multiple criteria in design, technologies generation, production planning, logistics and maintenance and its integration to the economic management are considered of great importance to improve the enterprises economic efficiency.
The main objective of this workshop is to bring researchers, engineers and mathematicians together to review and discuss the recent advances in the development of methods and approaches devoted to solve engineering problems. Moreover, it will be an important opportunity and an effective communication forum between the research and the industrial communities.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND THE WORKSHOP
The Studies Center of Mathematics for Technical Sciences of CUJAE and the Cuban National Group of Engineering Systems invites engineers, mathematicians and researchers occupied in the solution of engineering and other linked problems to participate in the VIII Euro Latin American Workshop on Engineering Systems, taking into account the decisions concatenation, in the time, of the systems elements and its functions considering the presence of multiple objectives in any engineering system. This reality determines the complexity character, intra and interdisciplinary approach of the preparing and making engineering decisions processes, the necessity of these processes decomposition into optimization under multiple criteria, solutions simulation and graphic representation interrelated systems. The Event can also be useful to managers interested in optimizing its work helped by mathematicians, engineers and specialists in complex systems..
Some questions to which those managers can find answers in the workshop:
• How can I find solutions to my problems considering all the related objectives, including my subjective preference?
• Who can help me to automate the searching of solution to the engineering problems existing in my company, and its integration with the company management?
• How can I organize the solution to decision-making problems existing in my company?
• When and how can I use the entire knowledge existing in my company for making better decisions?
• Is there any successful industrial application already applied related to my specific problem?
• How can I use what I learned in the workshop upon returning to my company?
The workshop could answer some of these questions, and will ensure that immediately after that, the participants will be able to apply many of the principles and tools they have learned in their profession.
