[DMANET] Call for papers for the MOTOR 2019

Call for papers for the MOTOR 2019

International conference "Mathematical Optimization Theory and Operations Research" (MOTOR2019)
http://motor2019.uran.ru
will be held on July 8-12, 2019, in the picturesque place near Ekaterinburg, Russia,
at the borderline between Europe and Asia.

The conference brings together a wide research community in the fields of mathematical programming
and global optimization, discrete optimization, complexity theory and combinatorial algorithms,
optimal control and games, and their applications in relevant practical problems of operations research,
mathematical economy, and data analysis.

MOTOR2019 is a successor of the following well-known International and All-Russian conference series,
which were held in Ural, Siberia, and the Far East for a long time:
- Baikal International Triennial School Seminar on Methods of Optimization and Their Applications,
http://isem.irk.ru/conferences/mopt2017/en/index.html
- Mathematical Programming and Applications http://mpa.imm.uran.ru/96/en
- Discrete Optimization and Operations Research http://www.math.nsc.ru/conference/door/2016/
- Optimization Problems and their Applications http://opta18.oscsbras.ru/en/
Having different origins, nowadays these conferences became very close to each other,
having much in common in their scientific topics, participants' community, and the organizers.
Therefore, this year the common Program committee decided to organize the joint conference
inheriting their long story and to name it Mathematical Optimization Theory and Operations Research (MOTOR).

Original research papers in all areas of optimization and its applications are solicited.
Along with theoretical results, submissions reporting on numerical algorithm benchmarking
or solution techniques for real-world operations research problems are welcomed as well.
Experimental and applied papers are expected to show convincingly the usefulness
and comparative efficiency of the algorithms discussed in a practical setting.

The main conference topics include, but not limited to
- mathematical programming
- global optimization
- integer programming and combinatorial optimization
- computational complexity, approximation algorithms, schemes, bounds, heuristics and metaheuristics
- optimal control and game theory
- optimization and approximation
- optimization in machine learning and data analysis
- applications in operations research: scheduling, routing, facility location, packing and cutting, manufacturing systems, etc.
