PUBLICATIONS AND SPECIAL ISSUES
The conference proceedings are intended to be published by Springer
Nature in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) and
Communications in Computer and Information Science (CCIS)
series. After the conference, it is planned to organize special
journal issues to publish substantially extended versions of selected
papers. The list of these journals will be announced soon at
http://motor2019.uran.ru.
ABOUT THE CONFERENCE
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. MOTOR 2019 is the 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, BITSS MOPT - established in
1969 by academician N.N. Moiseev, the 17th event was organized in
2017 in Buryatia; http://isem.irk.ru/conferences/mopt2017/en/index.html
- Mathematical Programming and Applications, MPA - established 1972 by
academician I.I. Eremin, the 15th conference was held in 2015 near
Ekaterinburg; http://mpa.imm.uran.ru/96/en
- Discrete Optimization and Operations Research, DOOR - since 1996,
was organized 9 times, the last one was held in 2016, in
Vladivostok; http://www.math.nsc.ru/conference/door/2016/
- Optimization Problems and their Applications, OPTA is
organized regularly in Omsk, since 1997, the 7th event in this
series was held in 2018; 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.
SUBMISSION
Authors are invited to submit their papers reporting on novel results
that are not published or submitted simultaneously to any journal or
another conference with refereed proceedings. Papers should be
prepared in the Springer LNCS Format according to the LaTeX templates
ftp://ftp.springernature.com/cs-proceeding/llncs/llncs2e.zip, can have
12-15 pages, and submitted in PDF. Please, follow the official
Springer authors guidelines
https://www.springer.com/gp/computerscience/lncs/conference-proceedings-guidelines
All papers should be submitted through the easychair conference
management system http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=motor2019,
which is available now.
