ISCO 2018 Second Call

Submissions are now open

*************************
5th International Symposium on Combinatorial Optimization (ISCO 2018)
April 11-13, 2018 - Marrakesh - Morocco

[+Spring School on “Advanced MIP Formulations and Computations”
on April 9- 10, 2018]

http://isco2018.lip6.fr/

THEME AND SCOPE
ISCO is a biennial symposium whose aim is to bring together researchers 
from all the
communities related to combinatorial optimization, including algorithms 
and complexity,
mathematical programming and operations research. It is intended to be a 
forum for
presenting original research in these areas and especially in their 
intersections.
Quality papers on all aspects of combinatorial optimization, from 
mathematical
foundations and theory of algorithms to computational studies and
practical applications, are solicited.

SESSIONS
The conference is organized into plenary and parallel sessions. The 
conference languages
is English. Each speaker can give only one talk. Proposals for invited 
sessions
are welcome. Researchers who are interested in organizing an invited 
session should
contact  Ridha Mahjoub (ridha.mahjoub@)lamsade.dauphine.fr).

SPRING SCHOOL
ISCO 2018 will be preceded by a spring school on "Advanced MIP 
Formulations and
Computations”. Juan Pablo Vielma and Joey Huchette from MIT will give 16 
hours of
lectures on April 9 and 10, 2018.

SUBMISSION - PUBLICATION
Papers presenting original unpublished results in all areas of 
combinatorial optimization
and its applications are welcome.  The submission deadline is January 
10, 2018.
Simultaneous submissions to other conferences with published proceedings 
or journals
are not allowed.

Two types of submissions:

Regular papers with up to 12 pages
Accepted regular papers will be published by Springer-Verlag in the 
Lecture Notes in
Computer Science (LNCS) series in a post-conference proceedings volume. 
The authors will
have to prepare their camera-ready version two weeks after the end of 
ISCO 2018.

Short papers up to 2 pages.
Accepted  short  papers  will  be  included  in  a  volume
of  local proceedings. More information about the submission procedure 
is available
on the website of the conference.

SPECIAL ISSUE:
A special issue of the journal Discrete Applied Mathematics will be 
dedicated to ISCO 2018.
