Submission Details
Authors are invited to submit papers in one of two categories
Full Papers: There is no page limit but the reviewers will be
asked to comment (if necessary) on the length of the paper. These papers
will be will be accepted as full papers at the conference.
Extended Abstracts: These shorter papers (try to limit to 3
pages) will give you the opportunity to present your work at the
conference. The abstracts will also appear in the conference proceedings.
Both categories of papers will be invited to submit suitably
revised and extended versions to a post conference issue of the Journal
of Scheduling.
Formatting Guidelines

About MISTA
This conference series serves as a forum
for the international scientific community, practitioners and
vendors on all aspects of multi-disciplinary scheduling.
The conference is held every two years
but are keen to have an ongoing interaction within the scheduling
community. With this in mind, we have set up a forum, which we
invite you to contribute to. We hope to introduce other initiatives
soon.
The next conference will take place in
Ghent (Belgium), 27-29 Aug 2013. Please take a look at the conference web site.
