History

edit

ECCO is one of the working groups of EURO, the Association of European Operational Research Societies. The Group was founded in 1987 by Catherine Roucairol, Alexander Rinnooy Kan, and Dominique de Werra.

Governance

edit

The group is managed by an Advisory Board of 4 members and a Coordinator. The Advisory Board is currently composed of Jacek Błażewicz, Van Dat Cung, Alain Hertz, and Paolo Toth. The current coordinator is Silvano Martello.[3]

Membership

edit

The group is suitable for people who are presently engaged in Combinatorial Optimization, either in theoretical aspects or in business, industry or public administration applications. Currently (2022), the group has over 1,600 members from 75 countries.

Conferences

edit

ECCO holds conferences on a regular basis (once a year during Spring). An abstract booklet is distributed to the participants at each meeting.

Publications

edit

In most cases, the annual conference is followed by a peer reviewed special issue of an international journal, presenting a selection of the contributions presented at the meeting. Recent special issues appeared on Annals of Operations Research ,[4] Optimization,[5] Journal of Scheduling,[6] Discrete Applied Mathematics,[7][8][9][10] and Journal of Combinatorial Optimization.[11]

A newsletter is emailed to all members every three months.
