Joint ORSC / EURO International Conference 2015 on Continuous Optimization

Shanghai, China, May 10-12, 2015


Overview

Continuous optimization is a highly interconnected field, having close  
  relationships to the other areas of OR, with scientific computing  
and numerical analysis, and with numerous application areas. In order  
to promote academic communication and cooperation between Chinese and  
European researchers and practitioners in the field of optimization,  
Operations Research Society of China (ORSC) and the Association of  
European Operational Research Societies (EURO) will organize the Joint  
ORSC / EURO International Conference 2015 on Continuous Optimization  
during May 10-12, 2015. Dr. Xiaodong Hu (the President of ORSC) and  
Dr. Gerhard Wäscher (Immediate Past President of EURO) are co-chairs  
of the conference, Dr. Yuhong Dai (President of the Math Programming  
Subsociety of ORSC) and Dr. Julius Zilinskas (Chair of EUROPT Managing  
Board) are the co-chairs of program committee and Dr. Yanqin Bai  
(Shanghai University, Shanghai) and Dr. Gerhard-Wilhelm Weber (Middle  
East Technical University, Ankara) are the co-chairs of organization  
committee.
