Winter School in Network Optimization , January 2016 - 1st Announcement
by Luis Eduardo Neves Gouveia 17 Jan '16

17 Jan '16

The 5th edition of the Winter School on Network Optimization will take place at the Hotel Sana, Estoril, from the 11th to the 15th of January 2016. Its main objective is to provide an opportunity for PhD students to get together and attend high level courses in the field of Network Optimization. Non-PhD students are welcome to attend the school, but the number of participants is limited and priority will be given to PhD students. In this edition of the school, the lecturers and subjects to be addressed are: Karen Aardal (Univ. Delft): Algorithms for facility location problems Tolga Bektas (Univ. Southampton): Compact formulations, projections and some polyhedral results for the vehicle routing problem Elena Fernandez (Univ. Politècnica de Catalunya): Hub location and optimum communication spanning trees: models, formulations and solution techniques Martine Labbé (Univ. Libre de Bruxelles): Bilevel programming: Stackelberg games and pricing problems Ivana Ljubic (Univ. Vienna): Solving (uniform) Steiner trees and related problems to optimality Since the first edition in 2009, the school has been part of the activities of the CIO (Centro de Investigação Operacional) University of Lisbon as well as of the ENOG (European Network Optimization Group). Recently, CIO has been merged with the Centro de Matemática e Aplicações Fundamentais (CMAF). The event will become part of the activities of the new CMAF+CIO and is also endorsed by the EURO (the Association of European Societies) and APDIO (the Portuguese OR society). Candidates are invited to submit their CVs to NetOpt2016(a)fc.ul.pt<mailto:NetOpt2016@fc.ul.pt> before the 30th of October 2015. After a short period of evaluation, the participants will be notified and be invited to register. More information is available at http://NetOpt2016.fc.ul.pt<http://netopt2016.fc.ul.pt/>.

******************************************* EU/ME 2016 Workshop on "Design and Analysis of Metaheuristics" March 17 - 18, 2016 University of Antwerp (Belgium) www.eume2016.be<http://www.eume2016.be> CALL FOR PAPERS ******************************************* The Antwerp Operations Research Group ANT/OR is looking forward to welcome you at the 17th EU/ME workshop on Design and Analysis of Metaheuristics.The conference will be held on March 17th - 18th, 2016 in Antwerp (Belgium). We invite all researchers, practitioners, and students from the field of metaheuristics, to participate in this EU/ME-workshop. Authors are encouraged to contribute by submitting an extended abstract (max. 3 pages). We are especially looking for research in all fields of methodology and applications with a focus on best practices in design of metaheuristics. Furthermore, we encourage research that includes (but is not limited to) a proper analysis of the algorithmic performance, parameter tuning, the setup of a good experiment, ... The main questions of this EU/ME workshop will be: - What is a good metaheuristic design? - Which metaheuristic framework to use? - How to make the developed solution approach robust, reliable and efficient? - What with parameters in the model and how to tune them? Important dates for submission and registration to the conference are: Abstract submission: Friday, February 5, 2016. Abstract acceptance: Friday, February 12, 2016. Registration: Friday, March 4, 2016. Conference: March 17-18, 2016. For more information, registration or abstract submission, go to the conference website: http://www.eume2016.be We look forward to meeting you in Antwerp, on 17 and 18 March 2016. May the force be with you! -- drs. Christof Defryn University of Antwerp Faculty of Applied Economics | Dept.
