ECCO XXIV - The 24th Conference of the European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization

The conference has the following primary objectives:

• exchanging results and experiences in solving real-world combinatorial optimization problems.
• reporting on development and implementation of appropriate models and efficient solution methods for combinatorial optimization problems.
• establishing networking contacts between individuals and research groups working on related topics.
• promoting the work on combinatorial optimization (theory and applications) to the broader scientific community.
• identifying challenging research problems for the field, as well as promising research outlets (both in theory and applications).
• promoting interactions with resarchers in other related fields.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

• exact and approximation algorithms for combinatorial optimization problems,
• heuristics and meta-heuristics,
• graph theory and networks,
• cutting and packing, routing, scheduling, location and capacity planning,
• integer programming, global optimization, stochastic integer programming,
• as well as applications in logistics and supply chain management, manufacturing, energy production and distribution, telecommunications,
• and other practical applications of combinatorial optimization.
