TECHNICAL PROGRAMME

The Programme is arranged into 90-minute sessions.

The highlights of the Conference are the plenary and semi-plenary sessions with invited speakers. The morning plenary and semi-plenary sessions are followed daily by parallel sessions organised in 24 streams. The structure and the schedule of the parallel sessions can easily be overviewed in the Programme-at-a-Glance of Parallel Sessions. All sessions accommodated by one stream will be held in the same room. The streams contain consecutive sessions on 1 to 3 conference topics. The streams, as a rule, consist of 8 sessions. Topics with more than 8 sessions are arranged into two parallel streams. Each parallel session includes 3 invited or contributed papers. (In case of invited sessions the name of the organiser appears in the programme.) The 25-minute presentations will include upto 5-minute discussions.

The Conference Topics and Sessions helps to find papers of your interest whereas the Authors' Index eases to look up quickly your preferred authors.

An afternoon plenary session will also be held on Tuesday where the IFORS Distinguished Lecture will be followed by addresses and a ceremony dedicated to EURO's 25th anniversary

Please note that this is a Preliminary Programme and may be subject to change. Therefore special attention must be paid to the Final Programme to be received upon registration.

v "Best applied papers"

The EURO Best Applied Paper Prize will be awarded at the special plenary session devoted to the 25th anniversary of EURO on Tuesday, July 18 afternoon.

The candidates will be listed in the Final Programme and invited to present their papers in the special semi-plenary session on Tuesday morning.
