Announcement

The International Conference on Computational Management Science will take place on March 31-April 3, 2005 in Gainesville, Florida. The conference is organized by the Center for Applied Optimization, University of Florida. This is an annual meeting associated with 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, finance, management, and related aspects of engineering.

This conference will be focused on all computational aspects of management science: theoretical and empirical studies of computational models; computational statistics and data analysis; design, analysis and applications of optimization techniques and algorithms including combinatorial and global optimization; dynamic models, such as dynamic programming and decision trees; stochastic models and stochastic programming; models and tools for data acquisition, data mining and data warehousing; and many other topics in management science with the emphasis on computational paradigms.

Papers presented at the conference will be considered for publication in the journal of Computational Management Science.
