2nd Call for Papers for the Eighteenth
Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization
IPCO XVIII, June 1-3, 2016
to be held at University of Liège in Liège, Belgium.

Submission deadline : November 20, 2015 (23:59 CET)

The IPCO conference is a forum for researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of integer programming and combinatorial optimization. The aim is to present recent developments in theory, computation, and applications. The scope of IPCO is viewed in a broad sense, to include algorithmic and structural results in integer programming and combinatorial optimization as well as revealing computational studies and novel applications of discrete optimization to practical problems.

Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of their recent work by November 20, 2015 (23:59 CET); see the submission guidelines for more information. The Program Committee will select the papers to be presented on the basis of the submitted extended abstracts. Contributions are expected to be original, unpublished and not submitted to journals or conferences with proceedings before the notification date (January 31, 2016). Papers violating these requirements will not be considered by the Program Committee.

During the conference, approximately 33 papers will be presented in single-track sessions. Each lecture will be 30 minutes long. The proceedings will be published as a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science. They will contain extended abstracts of all accepted submissions. Each participant will receive a copy of the proceedings at the conference. It is expected that revised and extended versions will subsequently be submitted for publication in appropriate journals. In particular, there will be a special issue of Mathematical Programming B associated with IPCO 2016.

More information can be found on the conference webpage.

On the occasion of the 27th European Conference on Operational Research, EURO XXVII, which took place on July 12-15, 2015, in Glasgow, the journal Optimization invites you to submit high quality original research papers to a special issue on Optimization models and techniques for making an impact, corresponding to a major theme of EURO XXVII.

The special issue focuses primarily on papers developing new optimization models, modeling features and/or solution techniques that were driven by the need of a particular application, as well as showing the impact these models and algorithms had for the application.

Techniques can be drawn from all areas of optimization, including:
- linear programming
- semidefinite and conic programming
- semi-infinite programming
- stochastic programming
- global optimization
- nonlinear and nonsmooth optimization
- multiobjective optimization
- robust optimization
- integer and mixed-integer programming
- mixed-integer non-linear programming
- game theory
- dynamic optimization and stochastic control

In order to publish in Optimization, a strong theoretical contribution of the submitted paper is required.

Optimization is abstracted and indexed in the following databases: Astrophysics Data System, SciBase, British Library Inside, Cambridge Scientific Abstracts, EBSCO Databases, ISI Current Contents, Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences, Mathematical Reviews/MathSciNet, New Jour, Science Citation Index Expanded, Zentralblatt MATH/Mathematics Abstracts and Zetoc.
