To inaugurate the new journal COMPUTATIONAL MANAGEMENT SCIENCE
(CMS)
published by Springer-Verlag, the editors and the publisher wish
to announce the first
international conference on Computational Management Science
2003, Almyrida - Crete.
The scope:
The conference will cover all computational aspects of
management science, including
computational methods, models and empirical analysis for
decision making in economics, finance,
management, and related aspects of engineering.
Presentations are invited describing novel research results, and
occasional surveys, in
computational methods, models and empirical analysis for
decision making in economics, finance,
management, and related aspects of engineering. These include
theoretical and empirical
analysis of computational models; computational statistics;
analysis and applications of
constrained and unconstrained optimization algorithms; dynamic
models, such as dynamic
programming and decision trees; new search tools and algorithms
for global optimization,
modelling, learning and forecasting such as neural networks and
genetic algorithms; models and
tools of knowledge acquisition, such as data mining and data
warehousing. The emphasis on
computational paradigms is an intended feature.
Applications and models as well as algorithms are of interest.
The aim is to provide a unified
forum for research often scattered in specialised areas. We
welcome papers on the development
and analysis of applicable algorithms, computational models and
experience, balanced sets of
applications and new computational paradigms.
Refereeing:
Submitted papers will be refereed. The evaluation will be
conducted by members of the
programme committee.
Proposals for Special Sessions:
Leading researchers are particularly welcome to organise special
sessions in the following areas:
(o) Computational Finance: portfolio optimization, real options
(o) Decision Making Under Uncertainty: decision trees, dynamic
programming, capacity
expansion under uncertainty
(o) Engineering Design: router design, Markov models, network
optimization; constraint
logic programming
(o) Mathematical Programming: computational linear programming;
nonlinear
programming algorithms, global optimization
(o) Neural Nets and Genetic Algorithms: prediction,
environmental models
(o) Games and Equilibria: computation of financial, economic and
environmental
equilibria
(o) Bioinformatics: </b>all aspects of modelling, global
optimization and search algorithms.
Publication:
Papers presented at the conference will be considered for
publication in CMS.
The refereeing process for the journal will be after the paper
is presented at
the conference and based on accepted rigorous standards of
scientific publications.
The evaluation is intended to be fast.
