The IPCO conference is a forum for researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of integer programming and combinatorial optimization. The aim is to present recent developments in theory, computation, and applications. The scope of IPCO is viewed in a broad sense, to include algorithmic and structural results in integer programming and combinatorial optimization as well as revealing computational studies and novel applications of discrete optimization to practical problems.

Summer School:
The following distinguished lecturers will give two 90-minute lectures each (see the website for abstracts):

Gérard Cornuéjols (Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh): Cut-generating functions in integer programming
András Frank (Eötvös University, Budapest): Constructive characterizations
Thomas Rothvoß (University of Washington, Seattle): Extended formulations
David Shmoys (Cornell University, Ithaca): Improving Christofides' algorithm with randomization and LP
