================================================= 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.

Apologies for any cross-postings... ============================================== SECOND ANNOUNCEMENT: Call for sessions, talks, and posters MOPTA Conference, Lehigh University, August 14-16, 2013 ============================================== The thirteenth annual Modeling and OPtimization: Theory and Applications (MOPTA) Conference will be held at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA, on August 14-16 (Wednesday to Friday), 2013. Confirmed plenary speakers (so far): Brian Denton (University of Michigan) Abhijit Deshmukh (Purdue University) Omar Ghattas (University of Texas at Austin) Ignacio Grossmann (Carnegie Mellon University) Zhi-Quan (Tom) Luo (University of Minnesota) Jorge Nocedal (Northwestern University) Henry Wolkowicz (University of Waterloo) This is an invitation for session organizers, contributed talks, and posters. If interested, then please contact: Frank E. Curtis < frank.e.curtis(a)lehigh.edu> Current conference and program information is available at: http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta MOPTA aims at bringing together a diverse group of people from both discrete and continuous optimization, working on both theoretical and applied aspects. There will be a small number of invited plenary talks from distinguished speakers as well as organized sessions and contributed talks, spread over three days. Our target is to provide a diverse set of exciting new developments from different areas of optimization research 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 in the framework of a medium-scale event who do not usually have the chance to interact in larger meetings. We hope to welcome you in Bethlehem, PA! Organizing Committee: Frank E. Curtis (Chair) Tamás Terlaky Katya Scheinberg Ted K. Ralphs Luis F. Zuluaga Robert H. Storer Aurélie C. Thiele Larry V.
