6th AIMMS/MOPTA International Optimization Modeling Competition
by Luis Zuluaga 22 Jan '14

22 Jan '14

================================================= CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: 6th AIMMS/MOPTA International Optimization Modeling Competition (http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/competition/) ================================================= Dear Colleagues, It is with great pleasure that we announce the sixth AIMMS/MOPTA Optimization Modeling Competition. The competition is jointly organized by the conference organizers of MOPTA (http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/) and Paragon Decision Technology (http://www.aimms.com). Finalists are expected to attend and present their results at the 2014 MOPTA Conference to be held August 13-15, 2014 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 2013-2014 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: 13 June 2014 (but please register as soon as you start work on the problem) Solutions Due: 13 June 2014 Finalists Chosen: 4 July 2014 Conference Begins: 13 August 2014 For questions, please contact Luis F. Zuluaga, luis.zuluagas(a)lehigh.edu and Alberto J. Lamadrid, ajlamadrid(a)lehigh.edu ================================================= Luis F.

Dear Friends and Colleagues With apologies for cross-postings... We cordially invite you to contribute to the fourteenth annual "Modeling and OPtimization: Theory and Applications" (MOPTA) conference, organized in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, August 13-15, 2014. ============================================== ANNOUNCEMENT: Call for contributions MOPTA Conference, Lehigh University, August 13-15, 2014 ============================================== The fourteenth annual Modeling and OPtimization: Theory and Applications (MOPTA) Conference will be held at Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA, USA, on August 13-15 (Wednesday to Friday), 2014. Confirmed plenary speakers: Miguel Anjos (École Polytechnique de Montréal) Gerald Cornuejols (Carnegie Mellon University) Darinka Dentcheva (Stevens Institute of Technology) Philip Gill (University of California, San Diego) Vahab Mirrokni (Google Research and New York University) Asu Ozdaglar (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Warren Powell (Princeton University) Andreas Wächter (Northwestern University) This is an invitation for participation, contributed talks, and posters. ABSTRACT SUBMISSION DEADLINE: June 13, 2014. 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: Boris Defourny (Chair) Tamás Terlaky Frank E. Curtis (SIAM representative) Katya Scheinberg Ted K. Ralphs Luis F. Zuluaga Robert H.

The University of Oxford Mathematical Institute is launching a new EPSRC-supported doctoral training programme, InFoMM, linking numerical analysis, mathematical modelling and their application to industry. We invite applications to the doctoral programme, currently being accepted for the 2014 academic year. Full funding is available for over ten studentships per year, including for overseas applicants.The four year programme of study includes a first year of coursework, projects, and interactions with industrial partners such as: Amazon, BP, Dupont, IBM, NAG, Schlumberger, Siemens, and Thales. Research projects are available in: numerical optimisation, numerical linear algebra, numerical differential equations, high performance computing, signal / image processing, and a variety of modelling specialisations. Further information is available at: https://www.maths.ox.ac.uk/courses/infomm where a list of application deadlines can also be found. Overseas applicants are advised to apply for the 24 January deadline to have the maximum chance of receiving funding. Scholarships cover full fees and provide a grant for living expenses. Applications may be submitted via: https://apply.embark.com/grad/Oxford/17/ Informal inquiries may be addressed to Dr Coralia Cartis, cartis(a)maths.ox.ac.uk ----------------------- Dr Coralia Cartis Associate Professor of Numerical Optimization Mathematical Institute and Balliol College University of Oxford http://people.maths.ox.ac.uk/cartis
