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 languages 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 Ridha Mahjoub
(ridha.mahjoub@)lamsade.dauphine.fr).

SPRING SCHOOL

ISCO 2018 will be preceded by a spring school on "Advanced MIP
Formulations and Computations". Juan Pablo Vielma and Joey Huchette from
MIT will give 16 hours of lectures**on April 9 and 10, 2018.

PSUBMISSION - PUBLICATION

Papers presenting original unpublished results in all areas of
combinatorial optimization and its applications are welcome.The
submission deadline is January 10, 2018. Simultaneous submissions to
other conferences with published proceedings or journals are not allowed.
