CMS 2014 - 11th International Conference on Computational Management Science
(cms2014.fc.ul.pt<http://cms2014.fc.ul.pt/>)
4th Call for papers and extended deadline announcement

The deadline for submission of abstracts and papers is now extended to February, 28th. Contributed
abstracts, of no more than 300 words, are welcome as well as conference papers, between 2 to 6
pages, to be published in a volume of Lecture Notes in Computer Science, by Springer, with the usual
indexation features. Conference papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the Program Committee. If
you wish, you can proceed directly to submission (http://cms2014.fc.ul.pt/submission.php).

Sessions in CMS 2014 should include 3 presentations, of 30 minutes each (20 minutes + 10 minutes for
follow-up questions). We would be delighted to include organized sessions on the program. Someone
interested in submitting a session should send an email to the conference chairs
([log in to unmask]) with the proposal.

You will find all the information and details on the CMS 2014 conference website
(http://cms2014.fc.ul.pt), where you are also able to register for the conference and benefit from
the "early bird" fees. Hotel bookings and other accommodation arrangements can be made through the
conference website, following registration (http://cms2014.fc.ul.pt/registration.php). We remind
that each speaker must be registered, otherwise it won't be possible to include the talk in the book
of abstracts. Likewise, at least one of the authors from each paper must be registered in the
conference for it to be included in the conference book, to be published by Springer. We also remind
that each participant may at most be the speaker of one presentation.

The CMS conference is an annual meeting associated with the journal of Computational Management
Science published by Springer. The aim of this 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, models and empirical
analysis for decision making in economics, engineering, finance and management. These include the
following topics:

- computational economics, finance and statistics;
- energy;
- scheduling;
- supply chains;
- design, analysis and applications of optimization algorithms;
- deterministic, dynamic, stochastic, robust and combinatorial optimization models;
- solution algorithms;
- learning and forecasting such as neural networks and genetic algorithms;
- models and tools of knowledge acquisition, such as data mining;
- all other topics in management science with the emphasis on computational paradigms.

This year the CMS conference will place particular emphasis on computational methods and tools
relevant for two important areas: Energy and Finance.

Participants are invited to submit a short abstract (approximately 300 words). Participants may, in
addition, submit a short conference paper (2-6 pages) to be published in a volume of Lecture Notes
on Computer Science, by Springer. A selection from all presentations will also be considered for
publication as full papers in a special issue of Computational Management Science.

Keynote speakers: Victor DeMiguel (London Business School), William Pulleyblank (United States
Military Academy), Daniel Ralph (University of Cambridge), Rüdiger Schultz (Universität Duisburg-
Essen).

A CMS Best Student Paper Prize will be awarded at the conference. Further details will be provided
later.
