Call for Papers: International Network Optimization Conference May 20-22,
2013 Tenerife, Spain
We invite you to join the next "International Network Optimization
Conference" (INOC 2013) to be held in Costa Adeje (Tenerife, Spain), May
20-22, 2013.
It is the conference of the "European Network Optimization Group" (ENOG), a
working group of the "Association of Operational Research Societies" (EURO).
INOC is an international scientific conference that provides a high quality
forum for the presentation of mathematical models, methodologies and
computational results,
and for the exchange of ideas and scientific discussions on advanced
applications and technologies in Network Optimization and related problems.
Previous editions of INOC have taken place in:
* INOC 2011: Hamburg, Germany, June 13-16, 2011
* INOC 2009: Pisa, Italy, April 26-29, 2009
* INOC 2007: Spa, Belgium, April 22-25, 2007
* INOC 2005: Lisbon, Portugal, March 20-23, 2005
* INOC 2003: Paris, France, October 27-29, 2003
INOC 2013 is intended to be again a forum for researchers and practitioners
working in the area of Network Optimization and related problems.
We invite you to present your recent developments, both theoretical results
and applications, in the pleasant scenario of Tenerife Island.

Dear colleagues
please see announcement below
The 3rd Winter School on Network Optimization
(http://NetOpt2013.fc.ul.pt) will take place at the Hotel Sana,
Estoril, from the 14th to the 18th of January, 2013. 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.
Since the first edition in 2009, the school has been part of the
activities of the Centro de Investigação Operacional, University
of Lisbon as well as of the European Network Optimization Group

A postdoctoral research position is available in the group "Graphs and
Mathematical Optimization" (GMO) of the Computer Science Department of
Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), in Belgium.
The position is part of the Inter-university Attraction Pole «COMEX:
Combinatorial Optimization: Metaheuristics and Exact methods», due to
start in October 2012.
The project is coordinated by Bernard Fortz (ULB) and involves 8
Belgian teams and 2 international partners working in the field of
combinatorial optimization.
The main research directions followed in the project are:
- Study and modeling of combinatorial optimization problems;
- Advancements in algorithmic techniques;
- Implementation of solution methods for large-scale, practically
relevant problems.
The focus in the GMO group will be on the development of exact methods
for applications in telecommunications network design, bio-informatics
and pricing problems.
The main tasks of the postdoc, in addition to perform research linked
with the project objectives, will be to coordinate the interactions
between the different teams and help supervising the PhD students
working on the project in the GMO group.
The position is available for a 2-year period, renewable once.
For more information about our group, please visit

*SCOPE*
The conference is an annual event aiming to bring together a diverse
group of people from both discrete and continuous optimization,
working on both theoretical and applied aspects. Our target is to

together researchers from both the theoretical and applied communities
who do not usually have the chance to interact in the framework of a
medium-scale event.

SECOND CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:
4th AIMMS/MOPTA International Optimization Modeling Competition
(http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/competition)
=================================================
Dear Colleagues,
It is with great pleasure that we announce the fourth AIMMS/MOPTA
Optimization Modeling Competition. The competition is jointly
organized by the conference organizers of MOPTA 2012
(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 MOPTA 2012 Conference to be held
July 30-August 1, 2012 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 2011-2012 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: 31 May 2012
Solutions Due: 31 May 2012
Finalists Chosen: 21 June 2012
Conference Begins: 30 July 2012
For questions, please contact Frank E. Curtis, frank.e.curtis(a)lehigh.edu
