5th international conference on “Modelling, Computation and Optimization in Information Systems and Management Sciences”
MCO 2025

June 4-6, 2025, Metz, France

 

The submission deadline is March 9, 2025 (hard deadline)

 

Welcome to the MCO 2025 webpage!

MCO 2025 is the fifth event in the series of conferences on Modelling, Computation and Optimization in Information Systems and Management Sciences. The first three editions (MCO 04, MCO 2008 and MCO 2015) were organized in Metz, France by the Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied Computer Science (LITA),  University of Lorraine. The fourth edition, MCO 2021, was held in Hanoi, Vietnam on December, 2021. MCO 2025 will be organized in Metz, France on June 4-6, 2025, by  Laboratoire de Conception, Optimisation et Modélisation des Systèmes (LCOMS), University of Lorraine, France.

MCO 2025 will cover several fields of Management Sciences and Information Systems: Computer Sciences, Information Technology, Mathematical Programming, Optimization & Operations Research, and related areas. The conference should allow researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in models and solutions methods for decision making in Engineering and Information Systems. MCO 2025 will also be an occastion to celebrate the 40th birthday of DC (Difference of Convex functions) programming and DCA (DC Algorithm). Contributions to the solution of real-life problems are particularly appreciated.        

Call for Participation

The MCO 2025 invites all researchers and practitioners working in areas related to modelling, computation and optimization and their applications to submit works for consideration. We encourage all types of contributions including theory, algorithms, and applications, in particular on emergent domains such as Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Big Data, Robotics, ...

Proposals for special sessions, contributed papers or abstracts are welcome.

Proposals for Special sessions may be sent by email to colloque-mco@univ-lorraine.fr until March 02, 2025 (see https://mco2025.event.univ-lorraine.fr/page/cfss for more details)

Authors can either submit a 12-pages-paper or an abstract to the conference.

Authors of an accepted paper or abstract can submit their corresponding work to one of the post-conference special issues.

Each attendee is allowed to present one paper or one abstract at the conference.

Paper submission: accepted papers will be published in the series Lectures Notes in Networks and Systems of Spinger-Verlag, and indexed by SCOPUS, DBLP, Web of Science, EI Compendex, Norwegian Register for Scientific Journals and Series, WTI AG, INSPEC, zbMATH, SCImago.

Abstract submission:  accepted abstracts (one page maximum) will be published in an Abstract Book and will be orally presented at the conference.

Special Issues in SCI journals for the post-conference publication are planned, which include Journal of Global Optimization.

A collection of post-conference papers will be published in International Journal of Production Research.
