DESCRIPTION:Prof. Marcel Mongeau\, Professor in Operations Research at EN
 AC (École Nationale de l'Aviation Civile) in Toulouse\, France\nAbstract:
 \nWe propose two approaches to address a challenging problem arising in Ai
 r Traffic Management\, that of keeping at all times a distance between any
  pair of aircraft throughout their flight trajectory above a threshold val
 ue. We address the problem by adjusting both aircraft speeds and heading a
 ngles simultaneously. Both the mixed-integer nonlinear programming model a
 nd the penalty continuous optimization model we are introducing deal with 
 the complex aircraft separation constraints through reformulations. Numeri
 cal results validate the proposed approaches.\n\nBio:\nMarcel Mongeau rece
 ived his BSc (1985) and MSc (1987) degrees in Mathematics from Universite 
 de Montreal\, and his PhD (1991) in Combinatorics & Optimization from the 
 University of Waterloo (Canada). He was then a post-doctoral researcher at
  CRM (Universite de Montreal)\, at INRIA (France) and at the University of
  Edinburgh. From 1994 to 2011\, he was at IMT\, Universite Paul Sabatier (
 France)\, where he received a Habilitation à Diriger des Recherches in 20
 03. He is currently Professor in Operations Research at ENAC in Toulouse (
 France). His research interests include Global Optimization\, Numerical Op
 timization\, and Operations Research with applications to aeronautics.\n\n
