Computational Management Science Conference and Workshop on Computational Econometrics and Statistics 2-5 April 2004, Neuchatel, Switzerland. http://www.unine.ch/iiun/matrix/seminars/CMS04/index.html Organized in co-operation with the Society for Computational Economics. Main sponsor: Citigroup The Conference will cover all computational aspects of management science. It aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in computational methods, models and empirical analysis for decision making in economics, finance, management, and related aspects of engineering. This is intended to include areas such as data mining, management science/operations research, econometrics, statistics, computer science, numerical methods, engineering decision and design problems such as control systems, process systems, power systems and energy production. Papers are solicited that deal significantly with computational aspects of such topics as: linear and nonlinear systems, econometrics, statistics, stochastic control, automatic differentiation, nonlinear model solution methods, mathematical programming algorithms, variational inequality and other algorithms for computing equilibria, algorithmic models of decision making including genetic algorithms, auction modeling, neural networks, artificial intelligence, computability and complexity theory, parallel and supercomputing, qualitative reasoning and models including qualitative simulation. The organization of sessions and minisymposia are encouraged. Two days of tutorials will take place during the meeting. o Computational Econometrics and Statistics o High Performance Computing and Decision-Making Publication Special Issues will publish selected papers presented at the conference following a standard peer review procedure: o Peer review papers will be considered for publication in a special issue of the journal Computational Management Science http://link.springer.de/link/service/journals/10287/ o Papers containing a strong computational statistics component will be considered for publication in the journal Computational Statistics & Data Analysis (http://www.elsevier.nl/locate/csda). Standard peer review procedure will be applied. Co-Chairs: E.J. Kontoghiorghes, G. Barone-Adesi, D. Belsley, M. Gilli, B. Rustem and P. Pardalos. International Program Committee: H. Amman (NL), M.
