The 4^th international conference on Modelling, Computation and Optimization in Information Systems and Management Sciences (MCO 2021) will be held on December 13-14, 2021, in Hanoi, Vietnam.

MCO 2021 is co-organized by Computer Science and Applications Department (IA), LGIPM, University of Lorraine, France, Academy of Cryptography Techniques, Vietnam, Data science and Optimization of complex systems (DataOpt) Laboratory, International School, Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam, and Vietnam National University, Hanoi, Vietnam.

MCO 2021 covers several fields of Management Sciences and Information Systems: Computer Sciences, Information Technology, Mathematical Programming, Optimization & Operations Research, and related areas. The conference offers an excellent forum for researchers and practitioners to share their ideas and experience, and to discuss recent developments, trends, challenges in models and solutions methods for decision making in Engineering and Information Systems. MCO 2021 will be composed of several plenary lectures, invited sessions, and contributed sessions.

If the situation of Covid-19 does not allow the physical attendance, MCO 2021 will be held online or in hybrid format (with both physical and virtual attendance). We will constantly keep you informed about the eventual new situations.

PUBLICATIONS

The conference proceedings will be published in the series Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing of Springer-Verlag and indexed by ISI Proceedings, DBLP, Ulrich's, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, Zentralblatt Math, MetaPress, Springerlink.

Special Issues in SCI journals for the post-conference publication are planned (more details will be announced on the conference website).

PLENARY LECTURES (to be completed)

Prof. Panos M. Pardalos – Artificial Intelligence, Data Sciences, and Optimization in Economics and Finance
