The workshop is devoted to recent advances and ideas concerning high-dimensional approximation and is a follow-up to the workshop in 2005.

The need for representation of high-dimensional functions and data arises in numerous application fields. While challenged by the curse of dimensionality, computational techniques in these areas are becoming more widely available. This includes methods for quadrature and for the solution of partial differential problems with applications in biology, chemistry, physics, statistics and machine learning, finance and engineering. The workshop will provide both introductions to an active area of research and an overview over some current research in this area. It will provide possibilities for researchers who are interested in applications which result in high-dimensional problems to interact with colleagues from other disciplines facing similar challenges.
