The $7^{\mbox{\footnotesize th}}$ Conference on Integer Programming 
and Combinatorial Optimization (IPCO '99) will be held in Graz, 
Austria, {\bf June 9--11, 1999}. 
This meeting is held every year in which no MPS International 
Symposium takes place. It is a forum for researchers and practitioners 
working on various aspects of integer programming and combinatorial 
optimization. The aim is to present recent developments in theory, 
computation, and applications of integer programming and combinatorial 
optimization. Topics include, but are not limited to:
polyhedral combinatorics;
integer programming;
cutting planes;
branch and bound;
geometry of numbers;
semidefinite relaxations;
matroids and submodular functions;
computational complexity;
graph and network algorithms;
approximation algorithms;
on-line algorithms; 
scheduling theory and algorithms.
In all these areas, we welcome structural and algorithmic results, 
revealing computational studies, and novel applications of these 
techniques to practical problems. The algorithms studied may be 
sequential or parallel, deterministic or randomized.


\paragraph{Submissions:}
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts {\bf elec\-tronically} 
by {\bf November 15, 1998}.
Precise information is available at the WWW home page of the conference.
If electronic submission is not possible, submit 8 copies of an 
extended abstract or full draft paper of at most 10 pages before 
{\bf November 1, 1998} by regular mail to 

\begin{center}

Submissions should include the fax number and e-mail address of the
sender. Notification of acceptance follows by {\bf January 20, 1999} 
via e-mail.
Accepted papers will be published in the proceedings of the Symposium, 
which will appear in the series Lecture Notes in Computer Science of
Springer-Verlag. Camera-ready copy is due before {\bf March 7, 1999}.
All participants receive a copy of the proceedings as part of their
registration.
