will not be considered.

The paper should contain a succinct statement of the issues and of their
motivation, a summary of the main results, and a brief explanation of
their significance, accessible to non-specialist readers.

Proofs omitted due to space constraints must be put into an appendix, to
be read by the program committee members at their discretion.

Simultaneous submission to other conferences with published proceedings
or to journals is not allowed. PC members are excluded from submitting.

There will be a rebuttal period for authors. Authors will receive
the reviews of their submissions (via EasyChair) on Nov 13/14 and have
three days (Nov 14 – 16) to submit rebuttals (via EasyChair). These
rebuttals become part of the PC meeting, but entail no specific
responses.

The submission site is
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=stacs2016

PROCEEDINGS

Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the symposium.
As usual, these proceedings will appear in the Leibniz International
Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs) series, based at Schloss Dagstuhl.
This guarantees perennial, free and easy electronic access, while the
authors retain the rights over their work. With their submission,
authors consent to sign a license authorizing the program committee
chairs to organize the electronic publication of their paper, provided

The 5th edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization will take place at the Hotel Sana, Estoril, from the 11th to the 15th of January 2016. Its main objective is to provide an opportunity for PhD students to get together and attend high level courses in the field of Network Optimization. Non-PhD students are welcome to attend the school, but the number of participants is limited and priority will be given to PhD students. In this edition of the school, the lecturers and subjects to be addressed are:

Karen Aardal (Univ. Delft): Algorithms for facility location problems
Tolga Bektas (Univ. Southampton): Compact formulations, projections and some polyhedral results for the vehicle routing problem
Elena Fernandez (Univ. Politècnica de Catalunya): Hub location and optimum communication spanning trees: models, formulations and solution techniques
Martine Labbé (Univ. Libre de Bruxelles): Bilevel programming: Stackelberg games and pricing problems
Ivana Ljubic (Univ. Vienna): Solving (uniform) Steiner trees and related problems to optimality

Since the first edition in 2009, the school has been part of the activities of the CIO (Centro de Investigação Operacional) University of Lisbon as well as of the ENOG (European Network Optimization Group).
Recently, CIO has been merged with the Centro de Matemática e Aplicações Fundamentais (CMAF). The event will become part of the activities of the new CMAF+CIO and is also endorsed by the EURO (the Association of European Societies)
and APDIO (the Portuguese OR society).
Candidates are invited to submit their CVs to NetOpt2016@fc.ul.pt<mailto:NetOpt2016@fc.ul.pt> before the 30th of October 2015.
After a short period of evaluation, the participants will be notified and be invited to register.
More information is available at http://NetOpt2016.fc.ul.pt<http://netopt2016.fc.ul.pt/>.
