Call for Papers
13th EUROPT Workshop on Advances in Continuous Optimization
July 8-10, 2015: Edinburgh
http://www.maths.ed.ac.uk/hall/EUROPT15/
EUROPT2015 is the annual event of the EUROPT continuous optimization working group of EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Societies). This is the 13th such workshop and is held in collaboration with the EURO 2015 conference to be held in Glasgow on July 12-15 2015.
Talks should be related to continuous optimization theory, algorithms, software or applications. It is expected that there will be a particular focus on large-scale optimization and linear algebra techniques in optimization.
Plenary speakers confirmed:
Sven Leyffer (Argonne National Laboratory)
Lieven Vandenberghe (University of California, Los Angeles)
Serge Gratton (CERFACS-IRIT, Toulouse)
Abstracts (max one page *.pdf) should be submitted to EUROPT15(a)maths.ed.ac.uk by March 27 2015
Registration will open in due course, with the fees having been set as £150 (Standard) and £75 (PhD student) before May 15 2015. Afterwards the respective fees will be £200 and £100.
Well priced accommodation has been booked for the nights before, during and after the conference, and details of how to reserve a room will be published in due course.
We hope you will want to take this opportunity to visit Edinburgh and contribute to advances in continuous optimization.

Chairs of the Organising and Programme Committees for EUROPT2015
Dear locators,
You are cordially invited to submit an abstract to the session on
“Supply Chain Network Design” to be held at the EURO 2015
<http://www.euro2015.org> in Glasgow, July 12-15, 2015.
This special session is part of the stream “Location".
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Facility location models within supply chain management: integration
of location decisions with other issues such as e.g. procurement,
production, transportation, inventory, etc.
- Exact or heuristic solution methods for (re)designing a supply chain
network
- Case studies from industry involving facility location and supply
chain network design
The deadline for abstract submission is *March 16, 2015* (no more than
1500 characters, no formulas or mathematical notation).
You may access the conference website directly at
http://www.euro-online.org/conf/euro27/ and select the session code
“80c7201f”.
Alternatively, feel free to send me your abstract: I will post it in the
conference system and will send you a confirmation.
Looking forward to receiving interesting contributions!
Kind regards,
Olivier Péton

Dear College,
we are happy to announce that 55 talks are accepted for the EURO Working
Group on Locational Analysis Meeting <http://www.math.bme.hu/ewgla2015/>
being held in Budapest, Hungary, May 20-22, 2015. We are working on the
final program, although a program overview is already available on the
homepage.
The plenary speakers are Leo Liberti
<http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/~liberti/> who will talk about Euclidean
Distance Geometry, and Santo Fortunato
<http://becs.aalto.fi/en/personnel/staff/fortunato_santo.html> with a talk
on Graph Clustering.
The social program will contain a boat trip on the Danube with some wine
and cheese and the gala dinner with music, dance, wine tasting, etc.
We would also remind you that early registration is until 20th March (in
some emails incorrectly 8th March appeared). On the web page of the meeting
