Dear colleague,
we kindly want to bring this workshop/conference to your attention:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Workshop on Theory and Applications of Metaheuristic Algorithms
as part of the 16th Int. Conference on Computer Aided Systems Theory
http://eurocast2017.fulp.ulpgc.es/workshops-and-participation
----------------------------------------------------------------------
February 19--24, 2017, Las Palmas, Canary Islands, Spain
*** Deadline for 2-page abstracts: October 31, 2016 ***
Workshop Scope
The workshop invites original work concerning all aspects of
metaheuristics and heuristic problem solving, in particular:
• Theory and applications of metaheuristics such as
Evolutionary Algorithms, GRASP, Iterated Greedy,
Iterated Local Search, Large Neighborhood Search,
Scatter Search, Simulated Annealing, Swarm Algorithms,
Tabu Search, and Variable Neighborhood Search
• New algorithmic developments
• Hybrid approaches
• Mathematical programming based approaches, e.g. Matheuristics
• Constraint programming based approaches
• Parallel metaheuristics
• Machine learning and simulation
• Data driven modeling and prediction
• Simulation based heuristic optimization
• Applications of simulation based soft computing
• Applications in combinatorial optimization, bio-and medical
informatics, networks and telecommunications, logistics,
scheduling, and transportation
PAPER SUBMISSION
An extended two pages abstract, including references, with indication
of the workshop (Theory and Applications of Metaheuristic Algorithms)
must be be sent to [log in to unmask] by *October, 31, 2016*.
Please follow the instructions for Springer Lecture Notes on Computer
Science Series (LNCS) authors. Authors will be notified of acceptance
around December 1, 2016.
After the conference full papers are invited and accepted ones will be
published in a *post-conference volume* with ISBN. It is anticipated
that these final papers will be published in line with prior Eurocast
meetings in the Springer LNCS Series. These full papers will have to be
submitted by *April 30, 2017*.
