Announcement: ISMP 2015 - Last call for presentations and session proposals

22ND INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON MATHEMATICAL PROGRAMMING (ISMP 2015)
www.ismp2015.org

The organizers of ISMP 2015 have the great pleasure of inviting you to 
Pittsburgh, PA  USA, July 12-17, 2015. ISMP is the international 
symposium on optimization and is held every three years on behalf of the 
Mathematical Optimization Society.

Last Call for PRESENTATIONS and SESSION PROPOSALS

Presentations on all theoretical, computational and practical aspects of 
mathematical programming in one of the program clusters are welcome. 
Invited and contributed presentations will be organized in parallel 
sessions, each session consisting of three talks. Interested session 
organizers are invited to contact the cluster chairs for their 
particular topic.

The deadline for submitting titles and abstracts of presentations has 
been extended to *March 10, 2015*. This is the final deadline. There is 
a one talk per speaker policy at ISMP, i.e., no participant will be able 
to register more than one presentation. Abstract submission and 
registration can be done online, via the conference web page at 
www.ismp2015.org. Notice that ISMP does not have published proceedings 
and it is not possible to submit entire papers. But short abstracts of a 
talks (at most 750 characters) will appear in the book of abstracts.

Important Dates

*March 10, 2015: abstract submission deadline**
*March 27, 2015: notification of abstract acceptance
April 15, 2015: early registration deadline
June 8, 2015: hotel reservation deadline
July 12, 2015: opening ceremony at Wyndham Grand Pittsburgh Downtown Hotel

by the welcome reception. The conference banquet will be on Wednesday 
July 15th featuring a river cruise on the Monongahela, Allegheny and 
Ohio Rivers, with uncompromised view of beautiful landscapes and 
towering skyscrapers of Pittsburgh. The scientific talks will be 
scheduled on Monday-Friday 9:00am-6:00pm.
