9976754Discrete optimization is one of the most important areas of operations research, and deals with the methodology of finding optimal solutions to problems involving variables which must take integer (i.e. non-fractional) values. Its applications occur in numerous areas of science, technology, management, etc., and include problems as diverse as those of determining the optimal locations of warehouses, VLSI chip design, airline crew scheduling, etc. The main goal of DO'99 is to provide an overview of the current state of the art in the field of discrete optimization. For this purpose, 23 of the most prominent researchers active in this field will provide state of the art presentations of various subareas of this discipline. The current project's objective is to make it possible for a larger number of junior researchers, post-doctoral fellows and graduate students to participate in the meeting and attend the lectures of these world-renowned experts. At the same time, these participants will also have the opportunity to present papers about their own research, and to establish contacts both with the senior participants and with their peers. The funds made available through this project will be used entirely to provide stipends for participants.

离散优化是运筹学中最重要的领域之一，它研究的是为变量必须取整数(即非分数)值的问题寻找最优解的方法。它的应用涉及科学、技术、管理等众多领域，包括确定仓库的最佳位置、VLSI芯片设计、航空公司机组人员排班等各种各样的问题。DO‘99的主要目标是提供离散优化领域的当前技术水平的概述。为此，活跃在该领域的23位最杰出的研究人员将提供该学科各个子领域的最先进的介绍。目前项目的目标是使更多的初级研究人员、博士后研究员和研究生能够参加会议并参加这些世界知名专家的讲座。同时，这些参与者还将有机会介绍他们自己的研究论文，并与资深参与者和他们的同行建立联系。通过该项目提供的资金将全部用于为参与者提供津贴。
