AAIM'05 Call for Papers

The 1st Annual International Conference on Algorithmic Applications in Management (AAIM'05) will be held during June 22--24, 2005, in Xi'an, Shaanxi, China. Original research papers in the areas of algorithmic and mathematical aspects of management are solicited. In addition to theoretical results, we are particularly interested in submissions that report on experimental and applied research of general algorithmic interest. Special consideration will be given to research that is motivated by real-world problems. Experimental and applied papers are expected to show convincingly the usefulness and efficiency of the algorithms discussed in a practical setting. Typical, but not exclusive, topics of interest include:

Computational Financing, Computational Game Theory, Computational Logistics, Discrete Optimization, e-Commerce, Facility Location, Manufacturing Process, Operation Research, Reliability and Replacement, Queuing, Social Network Optimization, Scheduling and Transportation Science

Submissions:

AAIM'05 will only accept electronic (PS, PDF) submissions. The detailed instructions can be found in the conference web page, please check http://www.cs.montana.edu/aaim05. A submission should start with the title of the paper, the author's name, affiliation, and e-mail address, and a short abstract summarizing the main results of the paper. This should be followed by a scholarly exposition of the ideas, techniques, and a full description of the results achieved. A clear indication of the motivation and comparison with prior or related work should be presented. The paper should not exceed 10 pages using 11 point or larger font. Submissions that deviate significantly from these guidelines and electronic submissions that are unprintable or formatted for paper size other than 8.5 by 11 inch paper risk rejection without consideration of their merits.

The proceedings of the conference will be published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (www.springeronline.com/lncs) series and will be available for distribution at the conference. Final versions of accepted papers must be prepared using Latex and must follow the standard guidelines of LNCS. Arrangement has been made to publish a special issue devoted to AAIM'05 in Theoretical Computer Science.
