Goemans M., Correa J. (eds.) Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, IPCO 2013

16th International Conference, IPCO 2013 Valparaíso, Chile, March 18-20, 2013 Proceedings. — Springer, 2013. — 409 p. — (Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 7801). — ISBN: 978-3-642-36694-9.This volume contains the 33 extended abstracts presented at IPCO 2013, the 16th Conference on Integer Programming and Combinatorial Optimization, held during March 18–20, 2013, in Valpara´ıso, Chile. IPCO conferences are sponsored by the Mathematical Optimization Society. The first IPCO conference took place at the University of Waterloo in May 1990. It is held every year, except for those in which the International Symposium on Mathematical Programming is held. The conference had a Program Committee consisting of 14 members and was chaired by Michel Goemans. In response to the Call for Papers, we received 98 extended abstracts, of which three got withdrawn prior to the decision progress. Each submission was reviewed by at least three Program Committee members.Once the reviews were available, the decisions were made in late November and early December through conference calls and electronic discussions using the EasyChair conference management system. We had many high-quality submissions and ended up selecting 33 extended abstracts. This number is dictated by the fact that the conference has a single-stream of non-parallel sessions, as is the tradition at IPCO. We expect the full versions of the papers contained in this volume to be submitted for publication in refereed journals.
