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.
