Dear Colleague,

We would like to invite you to submit an abstract to the Session on Preferences and Problem Formulation inMulticriteria Optimization within Multiobjective Optimization stream of 28thEUropean Conference on Operational Research 2016 (EURO 2016) to be held in Poznan, Poland on 3-6 July 2016, for more informationabout the conference see http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl.
SESSIONDESCRIPTION  Multicriteria optimization deals with finding optimalsolutions with conflicting objectives and constraints, in typically largesearch spaces. Often there is some degree of freedom in how to formulate theproblem and how to represent the search space. The problem formulation dependson the one hand on the algorithms, as certain algorithms require certainstructures of the search space (e.g. mixed integer formulations, or continuousformulations). On the other hand the preferences of the decision maker shouldbe reflected in the problem formulation. A relatively new topic is also toformulate preferences on sets or distribution of points, e.g. by using performanceindicators for Pareto front approximations. This session invites bothcontributions that are of more theoretical nature as well as real worldexamples where the problem formulation is a key issue of discussion.  SUBMISSIONSTheabstract submission process is managed by EURO. If you do not yet have a EUROlogin account, please createone. If you already have an account, for example from the previousEURO or IFORS conferences, you will be able to login using these details.Abstractsmust be written in English and contain no more than 1,500 characters (noformulas or mathematical notations are allowed).Eachattendee is allowed to present one paper at the conference.Thedeadline for submission is 1 March 2016, which can be done here: http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/abstract-submission/Thenotification of acceptance will be sent until 31 March 2016.Forinclusion in the final programme and in the conference materials, the authorsneed to register and pay a conference fee before 15 April 2016. Thus, the listof conference participants who will present their papers at EURO 2016 will beclosed just after the deadline of 15 April 2016 is passed. When registering andpaying the fee after 15 April 2016, you can still attend the conference,however, without presenting your paper.  IMPORTANTDATESDeadline for abstract submission:1 March 2016Notification ofacceptance/rejection: 31 March 2016Conference Date: 3-6 July 2016  SESSIONCHAIRSIryna Yevseyeva (iryna.yevseyeva@dmu.ac.uk)De Montfort University, Leicester, UK  Michael Emmerich (emmerich@liacs.nl)Leiden University, Leiden, Netherlands

British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science
Queen's University Belfast
22nd-24th March 2016


>> Final deadline for registration (at the given link) for those who wish
to give a presentation at BCTCS: Sunday, Feb 28th.
(Please also ensure you email your talk title and abstract by Feb 28th).

>> Final deadline for registration for participation (without
presentation): Saturday, March 5th.

The 32th British Colloquium for Theoretical Computer Science (BCTCS)
will be hosted by the Department of Computer Science, Queen's University
of Belfast, from 22nd to 24th March, 2016.

The purpose of BCTCS is to provide a forum in which researchers in
theoretical computer science can meet, present research findings, and
discuss developments in the field. It also aims to provide an
environment in which PhD students can gain experience in presenting
their work, and benefit from contact with established researchers.

The scope of the colloquium includes all aspects of theoretical computer
science, including automata theory, algorithms, complexity theory,
semantics, formal methods, concurrency, types, languages and logics.
Both computer scientists and mathematicians are welcome to attend, as
are participants from outside of the UK.

The colloquium features both invited and contributed talks. This year
the invited speakers are as follows:

- Michael J Butler, University of Southampton

- Rob Gilles, Queen's University Belfast

- Magnús Halldórsson, Reykjavik University

- Matthew Hennessy, Trinity College Dublin

- Valerie King, University of Victoria, Canada
(The LMS Keynote Speaker in Discrete Maths)

We are grateful for support from the Heilbronn Institute for
Mathematical Research which will provide bursaries for 5 students to
cover registration fees and accommodation. If you wish to apply for a
bursary, please email bctcs@qub.ac.uk as soon as possible, indicating
that you would be willing to give a contributed talk and stating the
name of your supervisor. Subsequently, a title and abstract should be
provided. The supervisor should write a letter of support to the same
email address, confirming that the student will attend BCTCS'16.

Participants wishing to give a 30 minute contributed talk on any topic
in the scope of the colloquium are invited to email a title and abstract
to bctcs@qub.ac.uk. Presentations from research students and early
career researchers are particularly encouraged. The titles and abstracts
of invited and contributed talks will appear in the Bulletin of the EATCS.

To register for the colloquium, go to the Colloquium web page at

https://sites.google.com/a/monoid.at/bctcs-2016/

The early registration deadline is 15 February 2016, before which the
fee for the colloquium is £160, which includes lunches/coffee/tea on all
days and a drinks reception and conference dinner on Wednesday 23 March.
After this date, a late registration fee will apply.

For any queries, please contact bctcs@qub.ac.uk.
