55th Meeting of the EWGCFM (EWGCFM 2015) is organized by Institute of
Applied Mathematics (IAM; http://iam.metu.edu.tr/) of Middle East
Technical University (METU), EURO Working Group "Commodities and
Financial Modelling" (EWGCFM; http://www.ewgfm.eu/) and The
Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO;

EWGCFM 2015 is an element of the conference series, whose 54th meeting
is going to take place in Milano, Italy, in December 2014. The EURO
Working Group EWGCFM was founded in September 1986 in Lisbon. The
primary field of interest for the working group can be described as
"financial models that help to solve problems faced by financial
managers in the firm". EWGCFM 2015 will contribute to this purpose in
modelling and problem solving through advances in theory, methods
and practice, by applications of mathematics and statistics,
economics and management sciences, engineering and environmental
sciences, supported by modern Operational Research.

We are pleased to announce the following Invited Speakers of the conference:

• Vedat Akgiray (Bogazici University, Turkey),
• Constantinos Kardaras (London School of Economics, UK),
• Rüdiger Kiesel (University of Duisburg-Essen, Germany),
• Stan Uryasev (University of Florida, USA).

Abstract Submission:

We invite all researchers, academicians, practitioners, as well as
students interested in commodities and financial modelling to
participate at the conference and to present their research. Abstract
submission and registration are both online, via the conference web
page (http://ewgcfm2015.iam.metu.edu.tr/). Abstracts with max. 3000
characters should be submitted online latest by February 15, 2015.
