[Opt-Net] Joint EURO/ORSC/ECCO Conference 2017 -- Last CFP

[Andrej (Andy) Brodnik]

My sincere apologize for multiple postings!

Please, see the attached last CFP for a Joint EURO/ORSC/ECCO Conference 
2017 in Combinatorial Optimization. Note also, that the registration is 
now open (https://ecco2017.euro-online.org/en/registration). We also 
advise you to hurry with booking the hotel as the conference follows May 
1st break and there can be quite some demand on the rooms.

All the best and CU in Koper!

Aims and objectives
-------------------

The joint conference aims to bring together researchers, in
particularly from Europe and China, in the field of Combinatorial
Optimization to present their work, share experiences, and discuss
recent advances in theory and applications. The primary objectives
are:
- exchanging results and experiences in solving real-world
   combinatorial optimization problems
- strengthen the collaboration between researchers in Combinatorial
   Optimization from Europe and China
- reporting on development and implementation of appropriate models
   and efficient solution methods for combinatorial optimization
   problems
- establishing networking contacts between individuals and research
   groups working on related topics
- promoting the work on combinatorial optimization (theory and
   applications) to the broader scientific community
- identifying challenging research problems for the field, as well as
   promising research outlets (both in theory and applications)
- promoting interactions with researchers in other related fields


Scope and Topics
----------------

We seek submissions in all areas of combinatorial optimization from
theory through applications. Suggested, but not exclusive, topics
include:

- theory and applications of combinatorial optimization
- exact solution algorithms, approximation algorithms, heuristics, and
   meta-heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems
- integer programming, global optimization, stochastic integer
   programming, multi-objective programming, graph theory and network
   flows
- application areas include logistics and supply chain optimization
   manufacturing, energy production and distribution, land
   consolidation telecommunications, bioinformatics, finance, discrete
   tomography, discrete and hybrid dynamical systems, and other fields


Abstract submission
-------------------

Only electronic submissions will be accepted (in pdf format), via EURO
online system:

               https://www.euro-online.org/conf/ecco2017/

The submission is limited to a half to one page abstract.

Two special issues (Journal of the Operations Research Society of
China, snd Discrete Applied Mathematics) will be dedicated to the
conference.


Important dates
---------------

Abstract submission starts: December 1st, 2016
Abstract submission closes: March 1st, 2017
Notification of acceptance: March 19th, 2017
Deadline for early registration: April 1st, 2017
Conference: May 3rd-6th, 2017
