https://sites.google.com/site/mipworkshop2016/registration
The 2016 Mixed Integer Programming workshop will be the thirteenth in a
series of annual workshops held in North America designed to bring the
integer programming community together to discuss very recent
developments in the field. The workshop series consists of a single
track of invited talks and features a poster session that provides an
additional opportunity to share and discuss recent research in MIP.
One of the aims of the workshop is to facilitate research collaboration;
thus it is designed to provide ample time for discussion and interaction
between the participants. Thanks to the generous support by our
sponsors, registration is free; and travel support is available for some
students and postdocs who present posters at the workshop. Information
on the accepted posters is now available on the workshop website.

Dear friends and colleagues,
We are organizing the stream Telecommunications and Network Optimization
of the forthcoming EURO Conference that will be held 3-6 July
2016 in the city of Poznan.
http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/
The stream is organized by the European Network Optimization
Group (ENOG).
If you would like to submit a paper for the stream, please visit
http://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro28/
and use invitation code
df18ec88
The deadline for abstract submission is March 1, 2015.
If (even better!) you would like to organize a full session of 3-4
papers, please contact one of us directly.
Best regards,
Walid Ben-Ameur, Bernard Fortz, Luis Gouveia
I would be grateful if you could post the below advert. With many thanks Coralia

UNIVERSITY OF OXFORD
MATHEMATICAL INSTITUTE
Postdoctoral Research Associate in Optimisation
Grade 7: Salary £30,738 - £37,768 p.a.
We invite applications for a Postdoctoral Research Associate, funded by Emirates under the agreement for the Oxford-Emirates Data Science Lab, to work with Professors Raphael Hauser, Coralia Cartis and Jared Tanner at the Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford. This is a three-year fixed term position and is available from 11th March 2016 (or as soon as possible thereafter).
The appointee will spend approximately 50% of their time working on Emirates-focused revenue management research, while the remaining 50% will be spent on personal research in collaboration with the above named faculty members. There is also a requirement to teach up to four sets of undergraduate or graduate classes per year, determined by the demand for classes in specific areas.
The Emirates driven part of the research will focus on time-dependent seat pricing problems initially, and more general inference, forecasting, and optimisation challenges relevant to the commercial aviation sector. The remaining 50% of the appointee’s time will be focused on collaborative research within the Numerical Analysis Group of the Oxford Mathematical Institute, where the post is based. While there is some flexibility in the choice of research topic, it is expected that it aligns with the research interests of Professors Hauser, Cartis and Tanner, in particular on optimisation methods for big data problems. The focus will be on the theoretical analysis and computational implementation of algorithms rather than on the design of heuristics.
Applicants should have a PhD in mathematics, operations research, statistics or a related area, awarded or submitted at the time of taking up the position, a strong record in research and publications commensurate with their career stage, as well as an excellent background in more than one area relevant to the project focus.
Please direct informal enquiries to cartis, hauser(a)maths.ox.ac.uk
Applicants should read the job description before writing their application. You will be required to upload a letter setting out how you meet the selection criteria, a curriculum vitae including full list of publications, a statement of research interests and the contact details of two referees as part of your online application. (NOTE: Applicants are responsible for contacting their referees and making sure that their letters are received by the closing date).
Applications for this vacancy are to be made online. To apply for this post and for further details, including the job description and selection criteria, please click on the link below

*** Inivitation to submit an abstract at EURO 2016 ***
At EURO 2016 - the 28th European Conference on Operational Research - I am organizing a stream on
Discrete Optimization under Uncertainty
In recent years, optimization under uncertainty, or robust optimization, is an ermerging field of research within the OR community. In particular for discrete optimization problems, it is worth to investigate different robustness concepts, uncertainty sets, and algorithmic ideas for both classical combinatorial optimization problems and novel applications. In this stream, it is intended to have sessions focussing on these developments, providing a forum of knowledge exchange for those working in the field and those interested in entering this exciting research area.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to,
- theory of robust integer programming
- complexity results for classical discrete optimization problems w.r.t. novel uncertainty sets
- robustness concepts like light robustness, recoverable robustness, etc.
- two-stage robustness
- applications of robust optimization, e.g., network design or energy system planning
If you would like to contribute to this stream by submitting an abstract
for oral presentation, please use submission code d9983646 at
https://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro28/ or contact me by email to
koster(a)math2.rwth-aachen.de
EURO 2016 ( http://www.euro2016.poznan.pl/ ) is organized July 3-6, 2016
