    About the Conference:    
         
    This meeting is a forum for researchers and practitioners working on various aspects of combinatorial optimization, integer programming, linear programming and graph theory. It will be held in the Engineering School, University of Chile (Beauchef 850, Santiago, Chile). The official language will be English.
The aim of the Conference is to present recent advances in theory, computation, and applications of these areas, in order to contribute to an important development of these topics in our region.
   
         
    Conference themes:    
         
    Themes and application areas include, but are not limited to, the following topics:    
         
   
Combinatorial optimization and computational complexity: linear, integer, mixed and stochastic programming; multicriteria optimization; approximation algorithms; coding theory and cryptology; 0-1 matrices; metaheuristics.
Graph theory and matroids: algorithms; network flows; random graphs; intersection graphs; perfect graphs.
Applications of OR: biology; finance and economics; scheduling; forestry; supply chain management; logistics; location; airlines; telecommunications; transportation; vehicle routing; production planning; queuing and inventory.
