MOPTA aims at bringing together a diverse group of people from both discrete
and continuous optimization, working on both theoretical and applied aspects.
There will be a small number of invited talks from distinguished speakers and
contributed talks, spread over three days.
Our target is to present a diverse set of exciting new developments
from different optimization areas while at the same time providing a setting
which will allow increased interaction among the participants. We aim to bring
together researchers from both the theoretical and applied communities who
do not usually have the chance to interact in the framework of a medium-scale
event.

We hope to welcome you in Bethlehem, PA.
