The program for the Fifth Biennial Mathematics and Computation in Music Conference (22-25 June 2015, QMUL) is now online at mcm2015.qmul.ac.uk/?page_id=304.  I would appreciate if you could publicise the event, especially the concerts, to students and staff throughout QMUL (and beyond if appropriate).  

I will present a paper written by Matteo Balliauw, Dorien Herremans, Daniel Palhazi Cuervo and Kenneth Sörensen on "Generating fingerings for polyphonic piano music with a tabu search algorithm" at MCM2015:

The Fifth Biennial International Conference on Mathematics and Computation in Music (MCM2015) will be held on 22-25 June-2015 at Queen Mary University of London in the United Kingdom. MCM is the flagship conference of the Society for Mathematics and Computation in Music, whose official publication is the Journal of Mathematics and Music.

This year, the ANT/OR group organises the ORBEL conference. ORBEL29 is the 29th conference on Operations Research (OR), reuniting the Belgian research community on OR-related topics. ORBEL29 is about exchanging ideas and insights, by stimulating interaction and discussion. The host institution of this year's conference is the University of Antwerp. This vivid city is located on the banks of the River Scheldt, and home to one of the largest seaports in the world. The name Antwerp is synonymous with diamonds, culture, art, Rubens and fashion.
