ECCO is the annual meeting of the EURO working group on combinatorial optimization. This group was created in 1987 by a group of leading experts in Operations Research and Management Science. It is suitable for people who are presently engaged in combinatorial optimization, either in theoretical aspects or in business, industry or public administration applications. This conference gives researchers an opportunity to present their latest research and to discuss current developments and applications, besides stimulating closer future interaction between members of this scientific community. Topics of interest are all fields from combinatorial optimization, e.g. logistics, production, scheduling, resource and operations management, flexible manufacturing, VLSI design, network design, telecommunication.
