First Announcement and Call for Papers

Joint EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON STOCHASTIC OPTIMIZATION and COMPUTATIONAL MANAGEMENT SCIENCE Conference
1-3 July 2020, Venice, Italy


We are delighted to invite you to Venice, Italy, 1-3 July 2020, at the
Department of Economics, Ca’ Foscari University.

ECSO - CMS 2020 is jointly organized by the Department of Economics of
Ca’ Foscari University of Venice, the CMS Journal and the EURO Working
Group on Stochastic Optimization.

ECSO 2020 is the 3rd edition of a stream of conferences organized by the
EURO Working Group on Stochastic Optimization (EWGSO). The previous
editions were held in Paris (2014) and Rome (2017). The scope of the
conference is to bring together researchers and professionals in
Stochastic Optimization and its applications in different fields spacing
from economics and finance to supply chain, logistics, etc.

CMS 2020 is the 17th edition of an annual meeting associated with the
journal of Computational Management Science published by Springer. The
aim of the conference is to provide a forum for theoreticians and
practitioners from academia and industry to exchange knowledge, ideas
and results in a broad range of topics relevant to the theory and
practice of computational methods in management science.

This joint event will provide a forum for fruitful discussions and
interactions among researchers and professionals from industry and
institutional sectors on decision making under uncertainty in a complex
world.  The conference will be within the scopes of both CMS and EWGSO
and, in particular, it will focus on models, methods and computational
tools in stochastic, robust and distributionally robust optimization and
on computational aspects of management science with emphasis on risk
management, valuation problems, measurement applications. Traditional
fields of application, such as finance, energy, water management,
logistics, supply chain management, and emerging ones, such as
healthcare, climate risk and sustainable development, will be included.

Venue: Department of Economics, Ca’ Foscari University of Venice
