Announcement of JIMO
The Journal of Industrial and Management Optimization (JIMO) is one of
two official journals of the Pacific Optimization Research Activity Group.
JIMO is published by the American Institute of Mathematical Sciences and is indexed by SCI-E. Members of POP are encouraged to support JIMO
by submitting high-quality manuscripts, particularly those related to multi-disciplinary
applications of optimization techniques. All papers are peer-reviewed and
the editorial team has a target of 3-4 months for the completion of the
first round of reviews. All papers in JIMO are freely available online
and we encourage members of the POP community to consult papers published
in JIMO in their research. We also emphasize that JIMO is not an open excess
journal; there are no publication charges for authors as the publication
costs are jointly sponsored by Curtin University, Australia
and Zhejiang University, China. We look forward to receiving
more outstanding submissions for JIMO from members of the POP community!
Announcement of
OCA2015
6th
International Conference on Optimization and Control with Applications (OCA
2015)
http://oca2015.csp.escience.cn/
11-14 December
2015, Changsha, China
The
6th International Conference on Optimization and Control with Applications (OCA
2015) will be held on 11-14 December 2015 in the rich historical and scenic city of Changsha, China. The conference is being jointly organized by Changsha University of Science and Technology (China) and Curtin University
(Australia), and follows on
from previous successful conferences in the OCA series in Erice,
Italy (2001), Tunxi, China
(2002), Jiuzhaigou, China
(2004), Harbin, China
(2009), and Beijing, China (2012).
As
a continuation of the OCA series, the goal of OCA 2015 is to provide an
international forum for scientists, engineers, and researchers to exchange
ideas and approaches, to present research findings and state-of-the-art
solutions, to share experiences on potentials and limits, and to establish new avenues
of research and developments, on all issues and topics related to optimization
and control.
Prospective
speakers should submit an abstract or extended abstract through the OCA 2015
EasyChair online system located at:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=oca2015
All
abstracts must use the conference Latex class file available from the
conference website. Please note that the submission period runs from 1 June 2015 to 30 September 2015.
Special Issues
After
the conference, authors are encouraged to submit full papers to appropriate
special issues of the following journals:
1. Optimization Letters (Springer)
2. Pacific Journal of Optimization
3. Numerical Algebra, Control and
Optimization (AIMS)
4. Journal of Industrial and Management
Optimization (AIMS)
5. Differential Equations and Dynamical
Systems (Springer)
6. Cogent Mathematics
Further
details on the submission of papers to these special issues will be provided in
subsequent announcements. All submitted papers will be subjected to the same
rigorous reviewing process as regular papers.
