VIII ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization
Montevideo, Uruguay, December 8-10, 2014
http://www.fing.edu.uy/en/alio-euro-2014

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

The ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization series is a
triennial event jointly promoted by the Association of
Latin-Iberoamerican Operational Research Societies (ALIO) and the
Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO), both
within the International Federation of Operational Research Societies
(IFORS).

The main purpose of the event is to bring together Latin American and
European researchers and to stimulate activities and discussions about
methods and applications in the field of combinatorial optimization.
Researchers from other regions worldwide are also welcome. Previous
editions of the ALIO/EURO Workshop on Applied Combinatorial Optimization
were held in:
– Rio de Janeiro, Brazil (1989)
– Valparaiso, Chile (1996)
– Erice, Italy (1999)
– Pucon, Chile (2002)
– Paris, France (2005)
– Buenos Aires, Argentina (2008)
– Porto, Portugal (2011)

The 2014 edition of the workshop is organized by the Operations Research
Department of the Computer Science Institute, Faculty of Engineering,
Universidad de la República, Uruguay.
