Joint ORSC / EURO International Conference 2015 on Continuous Optimization

Shanghai, China, May 10-12, 2015

Overview

Continuous optimization is a highly interconnected field, having close  

relationships to the other areas of OR, with scientific computing and  

numerical analysis, and with numerous application areas. In order to  

promote academic communication and cooperation between Chinese and  

European researchers and practitioners in the field of continuous  

optimization, Operations Research Society of China (ORSC) and the  

Association of European Operational Research Societies (EURO) will  

organize the Joint ORSC / EURO International Conference 2015 on  

Continuous Optimization during May 10-12, 2015. Dr. Xiaodong Hu (the  

President of ORSC) and Dr. Gerhard Wäscher (President of EURO) are  

co-chairs of the conference, Dr. Yuhong Dai (President of the Math  

Programming Subsociety of ORSC) and Dr. Julius Zilinskas (Chair of  

EUROPT Managing Board) are the co-chairs of program committee and Dr.  

Yanqin Bai (Shanghai University, Shanghai) and Dr. Gerhard-Wilhelm  

Weber (Middle East Technical University, Ankara) are the co-chairs of  

organization committee.

Invited Speakers

Dr. Dongdong Ge (Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, China)

Dr. Yaroslav Sergeyev (Universityof Calabria, Italy)

Dr. Vladimir Shikhman (University of Leuven, Belgium)

Dr. Yaxiang Yuan (Chinese Academy of Sciences, China)
