[DMANET] 2020 MIP Workshop - First Announcement, Poster Submission and Call for Registration

The 2020 MIP Workshop feat. DANniversary will be held May 18-21, 2020 at
DIMACS, Rutgers University. The 2020 edition will be the seventeenth in the
MIP series, and it will be opened by DANniversary, a special conference in
celebration of Daniel Bienstock's 60th birthday.

MIP is a single-track workshop highlighting the latest trends in integer
programming and discrete optimization, with invited speakers covering
topics of interest to the community, including theory, computational
issues, and applications. As in previous years, the workshop will include a
poster session reserved to students and an award for the best poster.

Call for Student Poster Submissions

We invite abstract submissions for MIP 2020. The student poster session
will take place during the reception of the workshop. Students can submit
an abstract of their poster at
https://virginiatech.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8IZs72cIz7E9Epf.

The abstract format is: a PDF file, one letter-size page maximum, one-inch
margins, 11-point font, single-space.

Only students may submit poster abstracts. The program committee will
select poster competition finalists, who as in years past will also be
eligible for travel support funds (estimated at $500 per student).
Submitting students not selected as competition finalists may still present
their poster (space permitting), but only finalists are eligible for the
competition and for travel support.

The deadline for poster submissions is February 1, and the committee will
communicate decisions to submitting students by March 1. Please contact
mip2020Posters@vt.edu if you have any questions.
