[Opt-Net] Call for site pre-proposals: ISMP 2021

Call for site pre-proposals: ISMP 2021

The Symposium Advisory Committee (SAC) of the Mathematical Optimization 
Society issues a call for pre-proposals to organize and host ISMP 2021, 
the triennial International Symposium on Mathematical Programming.

ISMP is the flagship event of our society, regularly gathering over a 
thousand scientists from around the world. The conference is usually 
held in or around the month of August. Hosting ISMP provides a vital 
service to the mathematical optimization community and often has a 
lasting effect on the visibility of the hosting institution. It also 
presents a significant challenge. This call for pre-proposals is 
addressed at local groups willing to take up that challenge. The 
tradition would be that only sites outside of Europe are eligible to 
host ISMP 2021 (because ISMP 2018 is in Europe).

Preliminary bids will be examined by the Symposium Advisory Committee 
(SAC), which will then issue invitations for detailed bids. The final 
decision will be made and announced during ISMP 2018 in Bordeaux. 
Members of the SAC are

·Jon Lee, USA, chair

·John Birge, USA

·Natashia Boland, USA

·Jose Correa, Chile

·Satoru Iwata, Japan

·Martin Skutella, Germany

·Levent Tuncel, Canada

·Yinyu Ye, USA

·Karen Aardal, Netherlands (ex officio)

·Luis Nunes Vicente, Portugal (ex officio)

Preliminary bids should be brief and contain information pertaining to the

1.location,

2.facilities,

3.logistics: accommodation and transportation, and

4.likely local organizers.

Further information can be obtained from any member of the advisory 
committee. Please address your preliminary bids until October 15, 2017 
to Jon Lee (jonxlee at umich.edu).
