ICMFII'2016: Second Call for Papers
The International Conference on Multidimensional Finance, Insurance and Investment is devoted to the recent developments and applications of the Multi-Criteria Decision Aid tools in the field of finance and insurance. This scientific event disseminates recent methods and procedures designed to solve problems related to finance, insurance and portfolio selection formulated through a mathematical programming framework and for which a stack of conflicting and incommensurable objectives (criteria, attributes) is simultaneously optimized. The aim of this conference is to bring together researchers and practitioners from all over the world to discuss recent theoretical and methodological developments of multi-attributes portfolio selection, insurance and investment.
The ICMFII’2016 conference will be held on June 26-29, 2016 at the Campus d’Alcoi of the Universitat Politècnica de València (Spain) which has been recently ranked as the best technical university in Spain by the Academic Ranking of World Universities (ARWU) 2015.

Prof. Belaid Aouni. Laurentian University. Canada. The title of the talk will be published shortly.
Prof. Michael Doumpus. University of Crete. Greece. Title: "Development of Multicriteria Models for Credit Rating: An Overview and Empirical Results for Rating Payment Behavior".
