[DMANET] CALL FOR PAPERS MOTOR 2020 Extended deadline

CALL FOR PAPERS - MOTOR 2020
Extended deadline: March 1, 2020

International conference
Mathematical Optimization Theory and Operations Research (MOTOR 2020)
July 6-10, 2020, Novosibirsk, Russia
http://math.nsc.ru/conference/motor/2020

Dear colleagues,

We invite you to take part at the international conference
"Mathematical Optimization Theory and Operations Research" (MOTOR 2020)
http://math.nsc.ru/conference/motor/2020
which will be held on July 6-10, 2020, near Novosibirsk Scientific Center, Russia,
at the Resort Hotel "Sosnovka" in a picturesque pine forest on the Ob River bay.


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


MOTOR 2020 is the annual international conference bringing together four well-known Russian
and international conferences 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;
• Mathematical Programming and Applications (Ekaterinburg);
• Discrete Optimization and Operations Research (Novosibirsk, Vladivostok);
• Optimization Problems and their Applications (Omsk).

The previous conference MOTOR 2019 was held on July 2019 near Ekaterinburg
http://motor2019.uran.ru


THE MAIN CONFERENCE TOPICS:
• theory of mathematical optimization
• integer programming and combinatorial optimization
• global optimization, stochastic integer programming, multi-objective programming
• computational complexity of combinatorial optimization problems
• approximation algorithms and schemes
• heuristics and metaheuristics for decision making and artificial intelligence
• game theory, mathematical economics, and multilevel programming
• optimization in machine learning and data analysis
• applications in operations research: scheduling, routing, facility location, packing and cutting, supply chain, etc.
