Potential topics include, but are not restricted to, novel exact and approximation algorithms for stochastic and robust discrete optimization problems; sampling, scenario generation, uncertainty description for these models; cutting planes and extended formulations for uncertain integer programs; integer programming-based approaches for chance constrained models; and stochastic combinatorial optimization under uncertainty. Also of interest are mathematical programming innovations that allow the practical solution of applications of integer programming under uncertainty in areas such as logistics, energy systems, supply chain management, finance, medicine, and engineering design. Authors should submit their papers via http://www.editorialmanager.com/mapr/ and select article type "S.I.: Int Prog Uncert - Series B" for consideration in this special issue. Deadline for submission of full papers: January 31, 2014. We aim at completing a first review of all submissions by June 15, 2014.

The aim of this workshop is to inform and to exchange ideas on recent developments in optimization and inverse problems in computational electromagnetic fields. Emphasis lies on design and optimization of electromagnetic devices such as machines, transformers, actuators and measurement equipment used in various applications. The workshop offers a forum for engineers, mathematicians and physicists to meet and to discuss theoretical aspects, methodologies and industrial research activities in electromagnetism. Plenary speakers are Ruth Sabriego (KU Leuven) and Mathias Stolpe (DTU). Contributions in the form of talks or posters are very welcome with the deadline of May, 30th 2014.
