Joint ORSC / EURO International Conference 2015 on Continuous Optimization

Shanghai, China, May 10-12, 2015


Overview

Continuous optimization is a highly interconnected field, having close  
relationships to the other areas of OR, with scientific computing and  
numerical analysis, and with numerous application areas. In order to  
promote academic communication and cooperation between Chinese and  
European researchers and practitioners in the field of continuous  
optimization, Operations Research Society of China (ORSC) and the  
Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) will  
organize the Joint ORSC / EURO International Conference 2015 on  
Continuous Optimization during May 10-12, 2015. Dr. Xiaodong Hu (the  
President of ORSC) and Dr. Gerhard Wäscher (President of EURO) are  
co-chairs of the conference, Dr. Yuhong Dai (President of the Math  
Programming Subsociety of ORSC) and Dr. Julius Zilinskas (Chair of  
EUROPT Managing Board) are the co-chairs of program committee and Dr.  
Yanqin Bai (Shanghai University, Shanghai) and Dr. Gerhard-Wilhelm  
Weber (Middle East Technical University, Ankara) are the co-chairs of  
organization committee.
