================================================= CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: 5th AIMMS/MOPTA International Optimization Modeling Competition (http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/competition) ================================================= Dear Colleagues, It is with great pleasure that we announce the fifth AIMMS/MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition. The competition is jointly organized by the conference organizers of MOPTA and Paragon Decision Technology (http://www.aimms.com) Finalists are expected to attend and present their results at the 2013 MOPTA Conference to be held August 14-16, 2013 at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA. Teams of at most three students can participate. The team leader has to be a graduate student, though the other members of the team can be advanced undergraduate students. Each member of the team must be registered as a full-time student at a recognized educational institution during the Spring term of the 2012-2013 academic year. Students with a background in optimization, regardless of their actual field of study, are eligible. Collaboration between students from different departments is strongly encouraged. Each team must declare a team advisor with which the team may consult about the problem and their solution. It is the team advisor’s responsibility to ensure that the students have appropriate knowledge for the competition. The team advisor should not be involved as a participant in the solution process. As the conference is international, so is the competition. Teams from all over the world can participate, as long as at least one team member can come to the conference, should the team make it to the final round. The official language of the competition is English. The competition problem has been posted; please visit: http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/competition for a description of the problem and further details. All teams must *register* for the competition in order to participate. Important Dates: Registration Due: 14 June 2013 Solutions Due: 14 June 2013 Finalists Chosen: 28 June 2013 Conference Begins: 14 August 2013 For questions, please contact Luis F.

EWGLA XX - New Submission Deadline: 31st of January 2013 Dear colleagues, We are extending the deadline of abstract submission for the 20th EURO Working Group on Locational Analysis Meeting, EWGLA XX, to be held in Ankara, Turkey on April 17-19, 2013. The conference will take place in the conference center of the TOBB University of Economics and Technology. More information regarding the conference can be found in the conference web site: <http://www.ewgla2013.org> www.ewgla2013.org We apologize for cross-posting. Aims and Scope The meeting intends to gather the operations research community from different parts of the world to share experiences in the field of locational analysis We invite participation from all areas related to location theory including: * network location, * continuous location, * discrete location, * obnoxious location, * competitive location, * hub location, * location-routing, * advanced location models, * location applications (logistics, network design), * exact and heuristic solution methods. Contributions are welcome from academia, industry or the public sector. In addition to presentations, the meeting is intended to be a forum for exchange of recent experiences and results. A special issue will be devoted to recent developments on location analysis in the journal Computers & Operations Research published by Elsevier.

Call for Papers: Special Issue of the journal "Networks" on Robust Network Optimization
by benameur 08 Jan '13

08 Jan '13

Call for Papers: Special Issue of the journal "Networks" on Robust Network Optimization Network parameters such as those defining the traffic matrix are generally uncertain. This uncertainty is typically the result of two factors: the intrinsic variability of the network parameters and the lack of information about these parameters. Consequently, it is important to take uncertainty into account when the network is designed or/and managed. Robust Optimization is one of the techniques that can help to incorporate uncertainty. We would like to receive original, high-quality research papers that address Robust Network Optimization. We are especially interested in submissions contributing to the following areas: - Robust routing under uncertainty. - Resource assignment under uncertainty (dimensioning, provisioning, wavelength assignment, etc.) - Survivability under uncertainty. - Network location under uncertainty. - Exact and approximation algorithms for robust network optimization problems. Submissions should be electronically sent to Pr. Walid BEN-AMEUR (Telecom SudParis, CNRS Samovar, France) at <mailto:Walid.benameur@telecom-sudparis.eu> Walid.benameur(a)telecom-sudparis.eu no later than 31 January, 2013.
