The fifth meeting of the EURO Working Group on Vehicle Routing and
Logistics Optimization will take place at the Mines Nantes Graduate
School of Engineering, in Nantes 6-8 June 2016.
The VeRoLog conference is an annual meeting bringing together the large
community of researchers and practitioners interested in vehicle routing
optimization and its relationship with logistics. The conference is open
to high quality methodological contributions, relevant real-world
applications, and case studies from industry and the service sector.
*Abstract submission *
To participate, an abstract of 1/3 page (max. 250 words) must be
submitted electronically via the link "Submissions". Accepted abstracts
with a registered presenter will be included in the book of abstracts.
At most one presentation per registered participant will be accepted.
All selected abstracts will be presented within parallel sessions during
the conference. A list of relevant topics for the conference is given

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.
