During and after my studies I ran for a long time through the book stores and book departments and libraries and looked for advisors and instructions that could show me how to lead a company on the road to success. Nothing, nada, niente ... nothing at all, which shows me this way. Theoretical listings and regularities reflect the content there, everything that is preached to students at colleges and universities in lectures, whether as slides or in the form of lectures. It is very rare that the luck helps one to be allowed to experience practice-oriented lecturers, who can connect the basic knowledge which can be obtained theoretically also into practice-referred examples. I, on the other hand, was lucky during my studies. This later also shaped my professional career. To apply theoretical knowledge in practice in such a way that the success of an enterprise adjusts itself automatically. With this protocol series I present some aspects and remarks, which make it possible for one to regard and develop always up-to-date the market situation and the conditions of the own enterprise following positively, so that one should never get with its enterprise into the red numbers

'Optimization Day' (OD) has been a series of annual mini-conferences in Aus tralia since 1994. The purpose of this series of events is to gather researchers in optimization and its related areas from Australia and their collaborators, in order to exchange new developments of optimization theories, methods and their applications. The first four OD mini-conferences were held in The Uni versity of Ballarat (1994), The University of New South Wales (1995), The University of Melbourne (1996) and Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (1997), respectively. They were all on the eastern coast of Australia. The fifth mini-conference Optimization Days was held at the Centre for Ap plied Dynamics and Optimization (CADO), Department of Mathematics and Statistics, The University of Western Australia, Perth, from 29 to 30 June 1998. This is the first time the OD mini-conference has been held at the west ern coast of Australia. This fifth OD preceded the International Conference on Optimization: Techniques and Applications (ICOTA) held at Curtin Uni versity of Technology. Many participants attended both events. There were 28 participants in this year's mini-conference and 22 presentations in the mini conference. The presentations in this volume are refereed contributions based on papers presented at the fifth Optimization Days mini-conference. The volume is di vided into the following parts: Global Optimization, Nonsmooth Optimization, Optimization Methods and Applications.

This is the second in a series of contributed, refereed volumes devoted to research in optimization by Australian researchers and their collaborators. These volumes are intended to have wide scope and include survey papers by established researchers providing up-to-date information on research directions. This volume includes survey and research papers on theories and methods of nonlinear programming, nonconvex and discrete optimization, stochastic linear programming, generalized convexity, complementarity and vector variational inequality problems, dynamic systems and optimal control and applications to traffic assignment models, train control, manufacturing systems and substrate diffusion of cutaneous tissue. Audience: Practitioners, postgraduate students and researchers in optimization.
