Twenty-ninth conference on
The mathematics of operations research
Organized by LNMB
(Landelijk Netwerk Mathematische Besliskunde)
January 13-15, 2004
Conference Center "De
Werelt",
Lunteren, The Netherlands
Annual meeting of Dutch senior and junior
researchers
in the Mathematics of Operations Research.
The program offers high-quality research and
applications
and should appeal to both academic researchers
and to management consultants in trade and industry.
The conference is sponsored by the Gebiedsbestuur
Exacte
Wetenschappen (NWO), the Thomas Stieltjes Institute for Mathematics and
the Mathematical Research Institute (MRI).
