ANNOUNCEMENT

6th International Conference on
Computational Management Science
May 1-3, 2009, Geneva, Switzerland
URL: http://www.cms2009.unige.ch/

Organized by the Department of Econometrics, University of Geneva

Main sponsor:
  Journal of "Computational Management Science", Springer.

The CMS conference is an annual meeting associated with the journal of
Computational Management Science published by Springer. The aim of this
conference is to provide a forum for theoreticians and practitioners
from academia and industry to exchange knowledge, ideas and results in a
broad range of topics relevant to the theory and practice of
computational methods, models and empirical analysis for decision making
in economics, finance, management, and engineering.

The conference focus is on all computational aspects of management
science: theoretical and empirical studies of computational methods,
models and empirical analysis for decision making in economics, finance,
management, and related aspects of engineering. These include
computational statistics; design, analysis and applications of
constrained and unconstrained optimisation algorithms, combinatorial
optimisation; stochastic models and solution algorithms; dynamic models,
dynamic programming and decision trees; global optimisation modelling,
learning and forecasting such as neural networks and genetic algorithms;
models and tools of knowledge acquisition, such as data mining and data
warehousing; and all other topics in management science with the
emphasis on computational paradigms.

CMS Best Student Paper Prize will be awarded at the CMS conference. The
prize is 500 CHF and the possibility of publication in the journal of
Computational Management Science.
