This is the second in a series of European Workshops providing a forum for the presentation of theoretical developments in, and applications of, Automatic Differentiation (AD) and adjoint methods. The workshop is informal so as to allow for discussions or presentations of completed work or work in progress and to encourage participation of those new to AD. In particular, presentations from PhD students are warmly welcome.

The workshop topics include but are not limited to: - Applications of AD in computational engineering, - Interaction between numerical software and AD, - Large scale applications, - AD tool development

Confirmed speakers include: - Nick Gould, "Requirements for AD in Numerical Optimization" - Mike Giles, "Adjoints in Financial Monte Carlo Calculations" - Leigh Lapworth, "Simulation and Design of Gas Turbine Components"
