The third international conference on Modelling, Computation and Optimization in Information Systems and Management Sciences (MCO 2015), organized by Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied Computer Science, University of Lorraine, France,
to be held in conjunction with ICCSAMA 2015
May 11-13, 2015, in Metz, France.

http://lita.sciences.univ-metz.fr/iccsama2015/MCO/index.php

The conference will cover, traditionally, several fields of Management Sciences and Information Systems: Computer Sciences, Information Technology, Mathematical Programming, Optimization & Operations Research and related areas. It should allow researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in models and solutions methods for decision making in Engineering and Information Systems. Contributions to the solution of real-life problems are particularly appreciated.


PUBLICATIONS
The conference proceedings will be published in the series Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing of Springer-Verlag and indexed by ISI Proceedings, DBLP, Ulrich's, EI-Compendex, SCOPUS, Zentralblatt Math, MetaPress, Springerlink.
Special Issues in SCI journals for the post-conference publication are planned.
