CMS 2014 - 11th International Conference on Computational Management Science
(cms2014.fc.ul.pt<http://cms2014.fc.ul.pt/>)
- 2nd announcement and call for papers

We are pleased to announce the 11th International Conference on 
Computational Management Science (CMS) to be held in Lisbon, Portugal, 
in May of 2014.

With its unique mixture of cultural and social activities, Lisbon will 
undoubtedly provide the perfect discussion forum for academia and 
industry to exchange knowledge, ideas and results.

We kindly invite you to visit the conference website 
http://cms2014.fc.ul.pt/ and familiarize yourself with all the news 
regarding the conference, submission deadlines, registration dates and 
the social and scientific program. You will also be able to register for 
the conference (http://cms2014.fc.ul.pt/registration.php) and benefit 
from the "early bird" fees. Hotel bookings and other accommodation 
arrangements can be made through the conference website, following 
registration.

Abstracts and conference papers submission will be available soon.

The CMS conference is an annual meeting associated with the journal of 
Computational Management Science published by Springer. The aim of this 
conference is to provide a forum for theoreticians and practitioners 
from academia and industry to exchange knowledge, ideas and results in a 
broad range of topics relevant to the theory and practice of 
computational methods, models and empirical analysis for decision making 
in economics, engineering, finance and management. These include the 
following topics:

- computational economics, finance and statistics;
- energy;
- scheduling;
- supply chains;
- design, analysis and applications of optimization algorithms;
- deterministic, dynamic, stochastic, robust and combinatorial 
optimization models;
- solution algorithms;
- learning and forecasting such as neural networks and genetic algorithms;
- models and tools of knowledge acquisition, such as data mining;
- all other topics in management science with the emphasis on 
computational paradigms.

This year the CMS conference will place particular emphasis on 
computational methods and tools relevant for two important areas: Energy 
and Finance.

Participants are invited to submit a short abstract (approximately 300 
words). Participants may, in addition, submit a short conference paper 
(2-6 pages) to be published in a volume of Lecture Notes on Computer 
Science, by Springer. A selection from all presentations will also be 
considered for publication as full papers in a special issue of 
Computational Management Science.

Keynote speakers: Victor DeMiguel (London Business School), William 
Pulleyblank (United States Military Academy), Daniel Ralph (University 
of Cambridge), Rüdiger Schultz (Universität Duisburg-Essen).

A CMS Best Student Paper Prize will be awarded at the conference. 
Further details will be provided later.

Submission deadline for abstracts and conference papers: February 14, 2014
