ISCO is a new biannual symposium with its first issue held in Hammamet, Tunisia in March 2010. The symposium aims to bring together researchers from all the communities related to combinatorial optimization, including algorithms and complexity, mathematical programming and operations research. It is intended to be a forum for presenting original research in these areas and especially in their intersections. Quality papers on all aspects of combinatorial optimization, from mathematical foundations and theory of algorithms to computational studies and practical applications, are solicited.
Spring school
ISCO 2012 will be preceded by a spring school on "Mathematical Programming and Design of Approximation Algorithms". David Shmoys and David Williamson will give 16 hours of lectures on April 17-18, 2012.
