Dear Colleagues,

we invite you to submit contributions and organized sessions proposals to ECSO – CMS 2022 that will be held on 29-30 June - 1 July 2022, in Venice, at the Department of Economics - Ca’ Foscari University, in the San Giobbe Economics Campus.

Joint EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON STOCHASTIC OPTIMIZATION and COMPUTATIONAL MANAGEMENT SCIENCE Conference

29-30 June - 1 July 2022, Venice, Italy

ECSO - CMS 2022 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 2022 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 2022 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.

ORGANIZED SESSIONS AND MINI-SYMPOSIA

We welcome proposals for organized sessions and mini-symposia. Proposals should have the following structure
An organized session is on a single topic organized by the proponent with preferably four presentations (25 min). The organized session proposal should include details on the title, the proponent, and the speakers. The organizer may also be the chair and one of the speakers. A mini-symposium is a collection of (at least) two or more organized sessions on a single topic of substantial current interest and importance with the possibility of including a selected first presentation that can provide an overview of the topic area or put it in perspective. The mini-symposium proposal should include details on the title and a short description, proponent(s) and speakers.
The deadline for submitting proposals is tentatively March 15th, 2022.
Proposals can be sent to: stein-erik.fleten@ntnu.no, d.barro@unive.it, mnardon@unive.it.

A prize for the student best paper will be awarded. Papers should be nominated via e-mail by the students’ supervisors (ecsocms2022@unive.it). Deadline for the submissions to the prize is May 15. The program will include a devoted session for presenting the best papers to compete for the prize, such that the jury could make the final choice. The paper does not have to be published. The papers should be principally authored by the student, but co-authors are permitted as long as their contributions are clarified. Only registered participants’ papers will be considered for the prize. Jury for the Student Best Paper Prize: Stein-Erik Fleten (NTNU Norwegian University of Science and Technology), Milos Kopa (Charles University of Prague), Francesca Maggioni (University of Bergamo), Ruediger Schultz (University Duisburg-Essen).

We are looking forward to seeing you in Venice.

Best Regards,

Diana Barro, Stein-Erik Fleten and Martina Nardon
