European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization

The European Chapter on Combinatorial Optimization (also, EURO Working Group on Combinatorial Optimization, or EWG ECCO) is a working group whose objective is to promote original research in the field of combinatorial optimization at the European level. [1] [2]

History

ECCO is one of the working groups of EURO, the Association of European Operational Research Societies. The Group was founded in 1987 by Catherine Roucairol, Alexander Rinnooy Kan, and Dominique de Werra.

Governance

The group is managed by a Coordinator and an Advisory Board of 4 members. The current coordinator is Silvano Martello. [3]

Membership

The group is suitable for people who are presently engaged in Combinatorial Optimization, either in theoretical aspects or in business, industry or public administration applications. Currently (2019), the group has over 1,600 members from 75 countries.

Conferences

ECCO holds conferences on a regular basis (once a year during Spring). An abstract booklet is distributed to the participants at each meeting.

Publications

In most cases, the annual conference is followed by a peer reviewed special issue of an international journal, presenting a selection of the contributions presented at the meeting. Recent special issues appeared on Annals of Operations Research ,[4] Optimization,[5] Journal of Scheduling,[6] and Discrete Applied Mathematics.[7] [8] [9]

A newsletter is emailed to all members every three months.

gollark: For example, if someone claims that the mainstream establishment has been suppressing it or something, or if they talk about outlandish things which go against existing better-known science.
gollark: Nope. There are rough heuristics, though.
gollark: It looks vaguely like my bismuth thing in shape, but not color or anything.
gollark: It would be better to teach transferable stuff like "actually reading safety manuals".
gollark: You can't just teach safety of every random technological thing in school.
