THEME AND SCOPE

ISCO is a biennial symposium whose aim is to bring together
researchers from all the communities related to combinatorial
optimization, including algorithms and complexity, mathematical
programming and operations research. It is intended to be a forum for
presenting original research in these areas and especially in their
intersections. Quality papers on all aspects of combinatorial
optimization, from mathematical foundations and theory of algorithms to
computational studies and practical applications, are solicited.

SESSIONS

The conference is organized into plenary and parallel sessions. The
conference language is English. Each speaker can give only one talk.
Proposals for invited sessions are welcome. Researchers who are
interested in organizing an invited session should contact Bernard
Gendron (Bernard.Gendron@cirrelt.ca).

CO-LOCATION WITH OPTIMIZATION DAYS 2020

This year's edition of ISCO will take place at the same time and
location as Optimization Days 2020. ISCO participants will have access
to plenary and parallel sessions of Optimization Days 2020, as well as
to the Monday evening Optimization Days Wine and Cheese Reception. The
Tuesday night ISCO Banquet will be reserved to ISCO participants.

SPRING SCHOOL

ISCO 2020 will be preceded by a school on "Data Science, Machine
Learning and Optimization". Andrea Lodi and Elias Khalil from
Polytechnique Montreal are organizing the school. Invited experts will
give 16 hours of lectures**on May 2 and 3, 2020.

PLENARY SPEAKERS

Alper Atamtürk (University of California at Berkeley, USA)

Amitabh Basu (Johns Hopkins University, USA)

Daniel Bienstock (Columbia University, USA)

SUBMISSION - PUBLICATION

Papers presenting original unpublished results in all areas of
combinatorial optimization and its applications are welcome.The
submission deadline is January 17, 2020. Simultaneous submissions to
other conferences with published proceedings or journals are not
allowed. There are two types of submissions:

Regular papers up to 12 pages. The post-conference proceedings will be
published by Springer in Lecture Notes in Computer Science. For an
accepted paper to be included in the proceedings, it should be presented
at the conference by one of the authors. The authors of accepted papers
will have to prepare their camera-ready version two weeks after the end
of the conference. More information about the submission procedure are
available in the web site of the conference in due time..

Short papersup to 4 pages.
Accepted short papers will be included in a volume of local proceedings.
