MOPGP is an international conference series devoted to multi-objective p- gramming and goal programming (MOP/GP). This conference brings together researchers and practitioners from different disciplines of Computer Science, Operational Research, Optimisation Engineering, Mathematical Programming and Multi-criteria Decision Analysis. Theoretical results and algorithmic developments in the ?eld of MOP and GP are covered, including practice and applications of MOP/GP in real-life situations. The MOP/GP international conferences are organised in a biennial cycle. The previous editions were held in United Kingdom (1994), Spain (1996), Canada (1998), Poland (2000), Japan (2002), and Tunisia (2004). The Seventh me- ing (MOPGP'06) was organised in the Loire Valley (Center-West of France) by X. Gandibleux, (University of Nantes, chairman) and V. T'Kindt (University of Tours, co-chairman). The conference was hosted during three days (June 12-14, 2006) by the old city hall of Tours which is located in the city centre of Tours. The conference comprised four plenary sessions (M. Ehrgott; P. Perny; R. Caballero and F. Ruiz; S. Oussedik) and six semi-plenary sessions (N. Jussien and V. Barichard; D. Corne and J. Knowles; H. Hoogeveen; M. Wiecek; E. Bampis; F. Ben Abdelaziz) and 82 regular talks. The (semi-)plenary speakers were invited, while the regular talks were selected by the international scienti?c committee composed of 61 eminent researchers on basis of a 4-pages abstract.
Reviews
From the reviews: "The purpose of this book is to describe, in a unified manner, several topics in the areas of linear, nonlinear, and combinatorial multiobjective programming, goal programming, and multiobjective heuristics. The book also discusses several applications: portfolio optimization problems, optimal bed allocation in hospitals, scheduling of water distribution systems, routing in Internet protocol (IP) networks, and transportation problems such as train timetable information and airline crew scheduling. ... The book is well written. The papers are clearly presented and there are no fundamental technical errors." (Petrica Pop, ACM Computing Reviews, February, 2010)
