[DMANET] XLVIII Symposium on Operational Research - SYM-OP-IS 2021 - First announcement and call for papers

Dear Colleagues,


On behalf of the Programme and Organizing Committee of SYM-OP-IS 2021, it is our pleasure to invite you to participate in this year's Symposium on Operational Research.

Faculty of Mathematics - University of Belgrade (www.matf.bg.ac.rs) and Mathematical Institute of the Serbian Academy of Sciences and Arts (www.mi.sanu.ac.rs), traditionally, in cooperation with other higher education and research institutions, as well as scientific societies, organize XLVIII Symposium on Operational Research - SYM-OP-IS 2021 (http://symopis2021.matf.bg.ac.rs/).

This year, the XLVIII SYM-OP-IS takes place in Banja Koviljaca from 20 to 23 September 2021. The proceedings of the previous SYM-OP-IS conferences are available at http://symopis2021.matf.bg.ac.rs/index.php?page=history-publications.

We hope that your contribution will help to continue the tradition and quality of the Conference.
With best regards,

Programme Committee Co-Chairs
Prof. Dragan Urosevic, Mathematical Institute SASA,
Prof. Milan Drazic, Faculty of Mathematics, University of Belgrade
Organizing Committee Chair

OVERVIEW
SYM-OP-IS is an international symposium which traditionally gathers researchers, practitioners and educators in operations research to discuss and present their theoretical and practical research results in formal and an informal setting. The Conference is every year organized by different Serbian institutions and this year hosted by the Faculty of Mathematics - University of Belgrade and Mathematical Institute SANU.

The goal of the Conference is to inspire knowledge exchange within and among different fields of optimization. We encourage contributions beyond the scope of specific scientific disciplines and countries, with the aim of furthering international cooperation, particularly among the Balkan countries.

In addition, we are pleased to announce a Special section on VNS method and applications, which is dedicated to Prof. Nenad Mladenovic celebrating his 70th birthday and 45 years of research work. We warmly invite collaborators and students of Prof. Mladenovic to contribute to this Special section.
