(ECCO) will be held in the seaside town of St. Julian's in Malta, and will
run from Thursday 30th May to Saturday 1st June 2019. It will be hosted at
the Cavalieri Art Hotel, a four-star hotel overlooking the picturesque St.
Julian's Bay.

ECCO is a working group of EURO (Association of European Operational
Research Societies) that provides an excellent opportunity to discuss recent
and important issues in Combinatorial Optimization and its applications.

Plenary Speakers:

• Fred Glover, with Gary A. Kochenberger and Manuel Laguna
(University of Colorado, United States)

• Martin Charles Golumbic (University of Haifa, Israel)

• Alexander S. Kulikov (St. Petersburg Department of Steklov
Institute of Mathematics, Russia)

• Maria Grazia Speranza (Università degli Studi di Brescia,
Italy)

Topics of Interest:

· theory and applications of combinatorial optimization

· exact solution algorithms, approximation algorithms,
heuristics, and meta-heuristics for combinatorial optimization problems

· integer programming, global optimization, stochastic
integer programming, multi-objective programming, graph theory and network
flows

· application areas include logistics and supply chain
optimization, manufacturing, energy production and distribution, land
consolidation, telecommunications, bio-informatics, finance, discrete
tomography, discrete and hybrid dynamical systems, and other fields

Contributed Talks:

A number of parallel sessions for talks delivered by participants will be
held. A special issue of an international refereed journal containing
selected full length papers will be dedicated to the Conference.
