             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.
