CONFERENCE APPROACH
------------------------------------------------------------------
The CLAIO (Congreso Latino Americano en Investigacion de
Operaciones), celebrated every other year in different Latin
American cities, is sponsored by the Latin-Ibero-American
Association for Operations Research (ALIO). It started in
Rio de Janeiro, in 1982, and has alternated since between
Rio, Buenos Aires, Santiago and Mexico City. Their main
goals are to further the exchange of experiences; to
contribute, establish, and deepen ties between researchers
and practitioners in the region and to help young
undergraduate and graduate students in their professional
development.
Next CLAIO will take place in Mexico City, September 4-8,
2000, and will be organized by the Mexican Institute for
Operations Research and Systems (IMSIO). Mexico City, the
largest city in the world, is modern and cosmopolitan. It is
an exciting combination of pre-Hispanic, colonial and modern
monuments and architecture, built over the ruins of
Tenochtitlan, the Aztec capital.
