CALL FOR PARTICIPATION:
DIMACS and ExxonMobil Corporate Strategic Research cordially invite you to
participate in the "DIMACS Workshop on Computational Optimization and
Logistics Challenges in the Enterprise (COLCE)". For further information,
please send an e-mail to wchaoval@rci.rutgers.edu. Proposals for special
sessions, contributed papers and invited speakers are welcome and may be
submitted via this email address. We plan to put together, as editors, a
referee volume of a book series based on a selection of papers presented at
the workshop. Details will be announced at a later time. To submit an
abstract and a proposal for a special session, please email the title and
abstract to W. Art Chaovalitwongse by March 1, 2006.
SCOPE:
The purpose of this 2-day workshop conference is to explore a wide range of
advances in optimization techniques in the study of supply chain and
logistics challenges in the enterprise. This workshop will provide a forum
for leading as well as beginning researchers to discuss and address the
computational challenges that arise in supply chain optimization,
logistics, planning and scheduling in the industrial sector. This workshop
is designed to bring together operations research and mathematical
optimization experts from the academic arena with industry practitioners,
in an attempt to share knowledge, ideas, and scientific methodology. Both
invited and contributed talks will be presented over the course of the
workshop across a diverse range of relevant topics.
RESEARCH TOPICS:
Enterprise-Wide Optimization
Mathematical Finance, Pricing & Forecasting
Advances in Optimization Models & Algorithms
Optimization Under Uncertainty
Simulation-Optimization
Planning & Long Term Investment
Transportation & Logistics
Process Operations and Scheduling
PLENARY SPEAKERS:
Ignacio Grossmann, CMU
John M. Mulvey, Princeton U.
Panos M. Pardalos, U. Florida
Andrzej Ruszczyński, Rutgers U.
John Dennis, Rice U.
Panos Kouvelis, Washington U. St. Louis
Martin Savelsbergh, Georgia Tech
Marianthi Ierapetritou, Rutgers U.
PARTICIPANTS:
Researchers and practitioners working in related areas are invited to
submit abstracts for possible conference presentations. Those who submit
abstracts will be notified regarding whether a presentation based on the
abstract can be scheduled for the conference. Accepted abstracts will be
printed in the conference program and speakers will have approximately
twenty minutes to present their material. The conference facilities will
have projectors for presenting material from a laptop computer or a
provided PC.
