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. 
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. The event will be held at Edificio

transportation, lodging and restaurants. The surroundings of the 
conference venue offer a pleasant environment, including Parque Rodó and 
the riverside of Río de la Plata.

The academic program comprises more than 70 contributions organized in 
two parallel tracks, including the following topics: Metaheuristics, 
Polyhedral Combinatorics, Hybrid Heuristics, Branch and Cut and Price, 
Graphs and Theoretical Aspects, Transportation and Logistics, Vehicle 
Routing, Scheduling,  Network Flows and Packing, Natural Resource 
Management, Energy Sector and Other Applications. Moreover, the workshop 
includes plenary talks by the following keynote speakers:
