CALL FOR PARTICIPATION MOPTA 2010: Abstract Submission deadline: June 16, 2010
Modeling and Optimization: Theory and Applications (MOPTA 2010) August 18-20, 2010, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/
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.
