MISTA 2015 - Multidisciplinary International Scheduling Conference: Theory & Applications

The MISTA conference series has been assigned an ISSN, which you might want to use when citing papers/abstracts published in the proceedings. The ISSN number is ISSN 2305-249X. The 2003 proceedings also has an ISBN number (ISBN-10: 0954582101 or ISBN-13: 978-0954582104).
All accepted submissions, whether a full paper or an abstract has the opportunity to submit a paper to a special issue of The Journal of Scheduling. In 2003 (Nottingham) we produced our own post volume of selected paper, with the help and assistance of Springer. In 2005 (New York), a guest edited special issue of Annals of Operations Research served as an outlet for the selcted paper. Since 2007 (Paris) The Journal of Scheduling has been the journal that has been associated with the conference. So, in 2007 (Paris), 2009 (Dublin) and 2011 (Arizona), these conferences had a special issue of The Journal of Scheduling associated with the conference.
We are very keen to promote the conference to the wider community and would be very interested in discussing how the conference could be used to promote scheduling products, consultancy services, books, new innovations etc. This can either be one through sponsorship or by registering as a conference delegate. As an industrial delegate you pay the same rate as an academic delegate and you do not have to submit a paper/abstract and we would be very open to assigning you a timeslot in which to give talk on your company, products, problems that you face etc. If this is of interest, please get in touch.
Below are just some of the disciplines that are of interest to the conference delegates, although the list is by no means exhaustive. For some of the topics, we have provided links to give you extra information.
