Call for participation MOPTA 2009: Abstract Submission deadline: June 6, 2009
Modeling and Optimization: Theory and Applications (MOPTA 2009) August 19-21, 2009, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA
SCOPE The conference is an annual event aiming to bring together a diverse group of people from both discrete and continuous optimization, working on both theoretical and applied aspects. Our target is to present a diverse set of exciting new developments from different optimization areas while at the same time providing a setting which will allow increased interaction among the participants. We aim to bring together researchers from both the theoretical and applied communities who do not usually have the chance to interact in the framework of a medium-scale event.
CONFIRMED PLENARY SPEAKERS INCLUDE Ravindra K. Ahuja http://www.ise.ufl.edu/ahuja, University of Florida, Gainesville Natalia Alexandrov http://www.nasa.gov/centers/langley/home/index.html, NASA Paul I.

MODELING COMPETITION: An optimization modeling competition, sponsored by AIMMS is organized. Finalist will present their results at a special session of MOPTA09. Problem released January 31, 2009.
CONTRIBUTED TALKS Each accepted paper will be allotted a 25 minute talk. Authors wishing to speak should submit an abstract via the conference WEB page by June 6, 2009.
