THIRD ANNOUNCEMENT: Call for contributed sessions/talks/posters
MOPTA 2012, July 30 to August 1, 2012 , Lehigh University
http://coral.ie.lehigh.edu/~mopta/
===============================================================
*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
present a diverse set of exciting new developments from different
optimization areas while at the same time providing a setting which
will allow increased interaction among the participants. We aim to bring
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.
