MCO 2025 is the fifth event in the series of conferences on Modelling, Computation and Optimization in Information Systems and Management Sciences. The first three editions (MCO 04, MCO 2008 and MCO 2015) were organized in Metz, France by the Laboratory of Theoretical and Applied Computer Science (LITA),  University of Lorraine. The fourth edition, MCO 2021, was held in Hanoi, Vietnam in 2021. MCO 2025 will be organized in Metz, France on June 4-6, 2025, by Laboratoire de Conception, Optimisation et Modélisation des Systèmes (LCOMS), University of Lorraine, France.

MCO 2025 will cover several fields of Management Sciences and Information Systems: Computer Sciences, Information Technology, Mathematical Programming, Optimization & Operations Research, and related areas. The conference should allow researchers and practitioners to discuss recent developments in models and solutions methods for decision making in Engineering and Information Systems. Contributions to the solution of real-life problems are particularly appreciated.
