It is with deep regret that we have learned of the sudden death of our colleague Leo Kroon.

Leo G. Kroon worked as a Professor of Quantitative Logistics at our School and as a Logistics Consultant in the Department of Process Quality and Innovation at Netherlands Railways (NS).

During his long-standing career of more than 32 years at RSM, he served in many positions and roles: as scientific researcher, assistant professor, associate professor, and full professor, ERIM Member and ERIM Fellow, supervisor to many master students and PhD candidates, and as chairman of the Examination Board.

Leo was instrumental in building a world-class research group on decision support tools for the planning and real-time operations control of public transport systems. He taught applied mathematics to the first year bachelor students, and quantitative logistics to bachelor and master students, and PhD candidates.

He was a member of the NS team that won the prestigious INFORMS Edelman Award 2008 for its model-based contributions to the development of the 2007 NS timetable. He was the recipient of the 2008 ERIM Impact Award and he received the Umbra Erasmi.

We will remember Leo as a brilliant and erudite colleague who was committed to his students, PhD candidates, and colleagues he worked with. He was honest, humble, and gifted with a subtle sense of humour.

Our thoughts are with his partner Cisca.


In the attached card, you will find details about the funeral, scheduled on Wednesday 21 September at 2:00 P.M. in Zoetermeer. Also, you are invited to express your condolences on www.memori.nl/gedenkplaats/leo-g-kroon/<http://www.memori.nl/gedenkplaats/leo-g-kroon/>

Dear Colleagues,

We are organizing a conference to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the
ACO Program at Georgia Tech. It will be held January 9-11 in Klaus 1116
on the Georgia Tech campus. The conference will feature a Distinguished
Lecture by Professor Laszlo Babai of the University of Chicago, a number
of one-hour speakers, lectures by ACO alumni, and a poster session open
to all interested parties. The conference website is
http://aco25.gatech.edu/

Registration is free, but we ask everyone interested in attending to
please register in order to help us plan. A conference banquet will be
held on January 9 at 6 PM in the Klaus Atrium. The subsidized cost of
the banquet is $30.

Sincerely,

Robin Thomas

Dear Colleague,

On behalf of the Organizing Committee, we invite you to participate in
the special session (workshop) on "APPLICATIONS OF METAHEURISTICS TO
LARGE-SCALE PROBLEMS" at the 10th International Conference on Large
Scale Scientific Computation - LSSC'17, June 5 - 9, 2017, Sozopol,
Bulgaria, with arrival: June 4 and departure: noon June 9.

The session is organized by:
Prof. Stefka Fidanova (stefka@parallel.bas.bg)
from the Institute of Information and Communication Technologies
(former Institute for Parallel Processing), Bulgarian Academy of
Sciences and
Gabriel Luque (gabriel@lcc.uma.es) from University of Malaga, Spain.

Topics

The list of topics includes, but is not limited to:

combinatorial optimization
global optimization
multiobjective optimization
optimization in dynamic and/or noisy environments
large scale optimization
parallel and distributed approaches in optimization
random search algorithms,
simulated annealing,
tabu search
other derivative free optimization methods
nature inspired optimization methods (evolutionary algorithms, ant
colony optimization, particle swarm optimization, immune artificial
systems etc)
hybrid optimization algorithms involving natural computing
techniques and other global and local optimization methods
optimization methods for learning processes and data mining
computational optimization methods in statistics, econometrics,
finance, physics, medicine, biology, engineering etc

Key speaker Kalin Penev, Southampton Solent University, UK
Title: Free Search - in multidimensional space M*+
Abstract: Multidimensional tasks with thousands parameters, seems to be an
embarrassing challenge for modern computational systems in terms of
software abilities and hardware capacity. Presented study focuses on
evaluation of thousands dimensional heterogeneous real-value numerical tests.
*In roman numerical system M = 1000 in decimal numerical system.

*October 16th, 2016* is the deadline for the early-bird registration
fees of SODA/ANALCO/ALENEX 2017. In former editions of
SODA/ANALCO/ALENEX there were only two types of rates ("regular" and
"late/on-site"), next year there is a third type ("early-bird"),
benefiting from substantial discounts. Notice that SODA 2017 will be a
4-day event and the two meetings (ANALCO, ALENEX) will be 1 1/2-days each.

October 16th is also the first release date for unreserved rooms at the
main hotel of the conference, we highly encourage to do the hotel
reservation as early as possible.

Please access the webpages of the conference (namely, 'Registration
Information' and 'Hotel Information') for further
detailed information.
