*CONFERENCE ANNOUNCEMENT AND SPRING SCHOOL*

5th International Symposium on Combinatorial Optimization (ISCO 2018)

April 11-13, 2018 - Marrakech - 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 andpractical 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.**
