Conferences and Meetings on Operational research

Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering in Belgrade

The Faculty of Transport and Traffic Engineering in Belgrade is delighted to host the XLVII Symposium on Operational Research – SYM-OP-IS 2020. SYM-OP-IS is an International Symposium since 1974. It presents an annual gathering of operational researchers, both theoreticians and practitioners, in order to exchange scientific and technical information, convey experiences and present new results achieved in the development and application of Operational research methods. The main aim of the Symposium is the development and applications of new Operational research methods, models and techniques. We strongly encourage submitting papers in some of the research areas covered by the Symposium sections. Various sections ensure a valuable mixture of theoretical and practical aspects of Operational Research.

Uncertainty pervades all areas of the natural sciences, engineering, and operations research. Such uncertainty may arise due to noisy measurements, model ambiguity, or unknown parameters. Moreover, optimal decision making under uncertainty is crucial to arrive at reliable solutions, which are resilient to catastrophe. Despite the inherent need to do so, including uncertainty in our models in the form of random parameters leads to a veritable explosion in the dimension of the resulting optimization or control problems; especially for models of complex engineering systems. Recent advances in the fields of uncertainty quantification and machine learning present exciting opportunities to help combat this curse of dimensionality. This workshop is intended is to join researchers in optimization under uncertainty, uncertainty quantification, and machine learning, whose work stands to benefit from cutting-edge machine learning techniques for intricate, data-driven models of real-world phenomena.

Institute of Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM), UCLA

In recent years, deep learning has significantly improved the fields of computer vision, natural language processing and speech recognition. Beyond these traditional fields, deep learning has been expended to quantum chemistry, physics, neuroscience, and more recently to combinatorial optimization (CO). Well-known CO problems are Travelling Salesman Problem, assignment problems, routing, planning, Bayesian search, and scheduling. CO is basically used every day in finance and revenue management, transportation, manufacturing, supply chain, public policy, hardware design, computing and information technology. The workshop will bring together experts in mathematics (optimization, graph theory, sparsity, combinatorics, statistics), CO (assignment problems, routing, planning, Bayesian search, scheduling), machine learning (deep learning, supervised, self-supervised and reinforcement learning) and specific applicative domains (e.g. finance, transportation, hardware design, computing and information technology) to establish the current state of these emerging techniques and discuss the next directions. Besides, such generalization of deep learning techniques to CO problems will also push forward the mathematical analysis of the properties of these learning systems like generalization and transfer, stochastic optimization and dynamic predictivity that make the success of these techniques.

This EURO PhD School (EPS) will focus on giving participants advanced training on Data Driven Decision Making. There will be a methodological as well as an applied component to this EPS. Methodological training on the role of Mathematical Optimization in Data Science will be given in the format of lectures and computer workshops. The lectures will highlight the mathematical and statistical modeling and numerical optimization behind data analysis and data visualization tools. The computer workshops will make this knowledge actionable. Applications of the acquired knowledge to the modeling of specific industrial problems will be presented by professionals from industry and worked out by the PhD students. Mathematical and statistical models and numerical solution approaches will be developed and communicated, following a collaborative approach, in which the PhD students will work in small groups under the guidance of the instructors.

The workshop is the annual event of the EUROPT continuous optimization working group of EURO (The Association of European Operational Research Societies).

Universität Augsburg

Parametric optimization is a part of mathematical programming and has emerged as an exciting research area in theory, numerics and applications. It investigates the properties of solutions to optimization problems under data perturbations or uncertainty. Many relations to other disciplines of operations research, like stochastic programming, complementarity problems, mixed-integer problems, model-building, numerical methods, multi-objective optimization and optimal control, originate from these properties. paraoptXII welcomes papers as well as proposals for special sessions on any area in parametric optimization or related topics. We hope that the conference will continue to help link researchers and practitioners from different areas of mathematical programming from around the world.
