Important Dates
Submission deadline: November 4, 2024, 23:59 (AoE)
Notification: January 22, 2025
Final versions for proceedings: March 25, 2025
Conference: June 11-13, 2025
Scope
The IPCO conference is a forum for researchers and practitioners working
on various aspects of integer programming and combinatorial
optimization. The aim is to present recent developments in theory,
computation, and applications. The scope of IPCO is viewed in a broad
sense, to include algorithmic and structural results in integer
programming and combinatorial optimization as well as revealing
computational studies and novel applications of discrete optimization to
practical problems.
Authors are invited to submit extended abstracts of their recent work by
November 4, 2024; see the submission guidelines below for more
information. The Program Committee will select the papers to be
presented on the basis of the submitted extended abstracts.
Contributions are expected to be original, unpublished and not under
review by journals or conferences with proceedings before the
notification date (January 22, 2024). Papers violating these
requirements will not be considered by the Program Committee.
During the conference, approximately 33 papers will be presented in
single-track sessions. Each lecture will be 30 minutes long and given by
one of the authors in person (on-site). The proceedings will be
published as a volume of Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science.
They will contain extended abstracts (at most 14 pages) of all accepted
submissions. It is expected that revised and extended versions will
subsequently be submitted for publication in appropriate journals, for
example in the special issue of Mathematical Programming B that will be
devoted to IPCO 2025.
Best Paper Award
IPCO will present a Best Paper Award, to be chosen by the Program Committee.
Submission Guidelines and Instructions for Authors
Authors are invited to submit an extended abstract for a double-blind
reviewing process.
Submissions must be formatted in LaTeX using the Springer LNCS style and
can have a maximum length of 12 pages, plus references and an optional
appendix. Please check the Springer Information for LNCS Authors for
additional information. An appendix containing additional technical
material and full proofs can be added for consideration by the program
committee and will not be published in the proceedings. Proofs omitted
due to space constraints must be placed in an appendix to enable the
main mathematical claims of the submission to be fully verified.
The first page should contain the title and a short abstract. The
introduction should be a broadly accessible exposition of the main ideas
and techniques used to achieve the results, including motivation and a
clear comparison with related work. In particular, the introduction
should convey to the non-expert why the paper should be accepted to
IPCO. Submitted extended abstracts will be reviewed according to the
standards of top tier reviewed conferences. The main acceptance criteria
used by the Program Committee are the quality and originality of the
research, plus its interest to people working in the field. It is
crucial that the importance of the work is understood by the committee.
The claimed results must be correct and new.
A paper will not be considered in any of the following cases:
– It has already been published.
– It is under review by a journal or another conference with proceedings.
– It has a member of the Program Committee among its authors.
– It is submitted after the submission deadline.
It is not allowed to submit a paper that has been submitted to IPCO 2025
to a journal or a conference with proceedings before the notification date.
IPCO 2025 will employ a lightweight double-blind reviewing process.
Submissions should not reveal the identity of the authors in any way. In
particular, authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses should not
appear at the beginning or in the body of the submission, and authors
should refer to their own work in the third person. The purpose of this
double-blind process is to help reviewers make unbiased initial
judgments about the paper, and not to make it impossible for them to
discover who the authors are. Authors should not weaken their submission
or make reviewing more difficult for the sake of anonymity; in
particular, important references should not be omitted or anonymized.
Authors are encouraged to share their ideas or draft versions of their
paper as usual, such as posting drafts online, submitting to
repositories, and giving talks.

Papers failing to adhere to the guidelines (e.g., by not providing the
omitted proofs in an appendix, exceeding the page limit, not being in
LNCS format, or not following the double-blind rules) risk to be
rejected without consideration of their merits.
