From the reviews:
"This volume is a collection of self contained survey papers on various aspects of semidefinite programming and polynomial optimization. The volume is divided into four sections, covering the theory of conic and polynomial optimization, algorithms, software implementations, and applications of semidefinite and polynomial optimization. ... This is an advanced book and particularly in the theory section ... . The papers in this volume will be of interest to advanced graduate students and researchers working in conic optimization, SDP, and polynomial optimization."
