Fifth International conference on
Modelling, Computation and Optimization in Information Systems and Management Sciences (MCO 2025)
June 4-6, 2025
Metz, France
Homepage: https://mco2025.event.univ-lorraine.fr/
MCO 2025 is the fifth event in the series of conferences on Modelling, Computation and Optimization in Information Systems and Management Sciences. The first three editions (MCO 04, MCO 2008 and MCO 2015) were organized in Metz, France by the Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied Computer Science (LITA), University of Lorraine. The fourth edition, MCO 2021, was held in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2021. MCO 2025 will be organized in Metz, France on June 4-6, 2025, by Laboratoire de Conception, Optimisation et Modélisation des Systèmes (LCOMS), University of Lorraine, France.
MCO 2025 will cover several fields of Management Sciences and Information Systems: Computer Sciences, Information Technology, Mathematical Programming, Optimization & Operations Research, and related areas. The conference should allow researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in models and solutions methods for decision making in Engineering and Information Systems. Contributions to the solution of real-life problems are particularly appreciated. MCO 2025 will also be an occastion to celebrate the 40th birthday of DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithm).
PUBLICATION
The conference proceedings will be published in the series Lectures Notes in Networks and Systems of Spinger-Verlag, and indexed by SCOPUS, DBLP, Web of Science, EI Compendex, Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals and Series, WTI AG, INSPEC, zbMATH, SCImago. Special Issues in SCI journals for the post-conference publication are planned, which include:
1. Journal of Global Optimization;
2. Others to be confirmed soon.
VENUE
