[DMANET] 2019 MIP Workshop - Second Announcement, Poster Submission Reminder and Call for Registration

The 2019 MIP Workshop will be held on July 15-18, 2019 at MIT's Sloan
School of Management in Cambridge, Massachusetts. MIP is a single-track
workshop highlighting the latest trends in integer programming and discrete
optimization, with invited speakers covering topics of interest to the
community, including theory, computational issues and applications. As in
years past, the workshop has free registration and will include a student
poster competition.

*Call for Student Poster Submissions*

The student poster session will take place during the reception on the
first evening of the workshop. We invite students to submit an abstract of
their poster to mip2019poster@gmail.com. The abstract format is: a PDF
file, one letter-size page maximum, one-inch margins, 11-point font,
single-space. Only students may submit poster abstracts.

The program committee will select poster competition finalists, who as in
years past will also be eligible for travel support funds (estimated at
$500 per student). Submitting students not selected as competition
finalists may still present their poster (space permitting), but only
finalists are eligible for the competition and for travel support. Faculty
members with ongoing research support through the NSF OE program
participating in the workshop can request a travel supplement ($500) to
their grant to help support one of their students to attend the workshop.

The deadline for poster submissions is Friday, March 22, and the committee
will communicate decisions to submitting students by April 8.
