[Opt-Net] Announcement and CfP --- MOPTA 2016. Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, August 17-19, 2016

[Martin Takac]

Dear Friends and Colleagues
With apologies for cross-postings...

   We cordially invite you to contribute to the fourteenth annual
"Modeling and OPtimization: Theory and Applications" (MOPTA) conference,
organized at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, August 17-19, 2016.

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 invited plenary talks from distinguished
speakers as well as organized sessions and contributed talks, spread over
three days.  Our target is to provide a diverse set of exciting new
developments from different areas of optimization research 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 in the framework of a medium-scale
event who do not usually have the chance to interact in larger meetings.

We welcome contributed talks, and we are also very interested in hearing
from people who could organize a session centered around one of their
topics of expertise. MOPTA sessions have 3 speakers, with 30 mins per
presentation including Q&A's. Speakers will be kindly asked to submit their
abstract on the MOPTA website. The deadline for abstract submission is May
20.

Confirmed plenary speakers (so far):
* Michael P. Friedlander (University of California, Davis)
* Jacek Gondzio (The University of Edinburgh)
* Michael Pinedo (New York University)


Please contact
  Alexander Stolyar (als714 at lehigh.edu)

 if you would like to organize a session for MOPTA.
