Seventh Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization

IPCO '99

June 9-11, 1999
Hotel Novapark, Graz, Austria

Conference Approach

This meeting, the seventh in the series of IPCO conferences held every year in which no MPS International Symposium takes place, is a forum for researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of integer programming and combinatorial optimization. The aim is to present recent developments in theory, computation, and applications of integer programming and combinatorial optimization. Topics include, but are not limited to:
• approximation algorithms
• branch and bound algorithms
• computational biology
• computational complexity
• computational geometry
• cutting plane algorithms
• diophantine equations
• geometry of numbers
• graph and network algorithms
• integer programming
• matroids and submodular functions
• on-line algorithms
• polyhedral combinatorics
• scheduling theory and algorithms
• semidefinite programs

In all these areas, IPCO welcomes structural and algorithmic results, revealing computational studies, and novel applications of these techniques to practical problems. The algorithms studied may be sequential or parallel, deterministic or randomized. During the three days, approximately thirty-six papers will be presented, in a series of sequential (non-parallel) sessions. Each lecture will be thirty minutes long.

The proceedings of the conference will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science series and will contain full texts of all presented papers. Copies will be provided to all participants at registration time.
